Perfect location!

Charming three level apartment that was perfect for my family. My teenager had his own space in the basement as well as having space for all three of us to be together. The apartment is close to trolley stop to get to Union Station to the Metro for sight seeing. And when we were finished sightseeing, we came back to shops and delicious restaurants within short walking distance as advertised. Perfect for our small family!

Great Stay

We had a great stay at the property and honestly could not ask for me. Everything was as listed. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is because people hang out on the corners a lot. They did not bother us, but they were there. I would stay at this property if I go to the area again and I would recommend it to friends.

The property was sparkling clean and as beautiful as the pictures depicted. We appreciated the special touches - from the local coffee grounds to the Gilchrist & Soames Bee Kind bathroom products. We walked five or six blocks to Whole Foods to pick up some wine and cheese to enjoy on the back patio. Very convenient! Kaprice was lovely and recommended some great nearby restaurants for dinner. We’ll definitely be back!

Great stay! Would absolutely stay again.

Beautiful home- modern conveniences and lovely historical details. Clear instructions and everything you’d need. Four out five starts for the neighborhood as there tons of great spots to eat and a lovely neighborhood to walk around in but it’s definitely a busy city atmosphere- meaning there’s some ambient noise on the street that may be heard inside so if you are looking for something closer to a quiet suburban area- this may not fit the bill. However- I’m a city person so it didn’t bother me at all! I especially enjoyed walking around the residential streets with the lush greenery and beautiful 110 year old homes.

Charming DC Home

The home was exactly as pictured in the listing. I have a very high standard of cleanliness and I felt this place hit my expectations of cleanliness. The house was extremely comfortable and it was nice to have a place to spread out with 2 teens after a day out and about. We had initially booked a hotel close to the National Mall and for less money we got an entire house. We enjoyed watching movies downstairs at night and there was enough room for everyone to lounge comfortably. We met the neighbors on each side and both were very friendly. There were only 2 downfalls: 1) The only full bathroom has a clawfoot tub with a wrap around shower curtain (we were aware when we booked). But the shower curtain would get wet and then if you touched it it would stick to you (neither my husband nor I are petite) and I just kept praying it was washed between guests (it looked clean, but you never know with a shower curtain). 2) The neighborhood was a little sketchy. Turn the corner at the end of the block and places are boarded up and have graffiti. Two nights while we were there there was loud partying outside the house till all hours of the night (during the weeknights) and the smell of pot was so strong it could be smelled in the house. There was loud music playing (a variety- one night they were blasting Mariah Carey music- LOL) and a lot of yelling and cursing. Police rolled through eventually about 1:30am the one night and broke it up. But the next morning there was trash everywhere right outside the house on the sidewalk and street. While I felt relatively safe during the day we did try to get back by night. We did not feel safe venturing out in the evening with the neighborhood activity and the state of the surrounding area. We also saw the police called for some activity in the street once during the day when we were getting ready to venture out.

Nice and comfortable

Nice, clean, and comfortable stay. The H street corridor is not too exciting but we did like the streetcar and Whole Foods. My only complaint was that for 4 people, it would have been nice to have a hand towel for the lower level bathroom and 4 washcloths - all we had were two black "make-up" washcloths. Communication was great and suggestions were very helpful. Coffee and tea was nice to have.

Seven-day Stay

We spent seven days touring The Capital and Smithsonian. Kaprice’s home was well equipped and comfortable. Kaprice was immediately responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Plenty of eating establishments nearby with a free street car providing easy access. The clawfoot tub shower might be challenging for older folks or those with mobility challenges. We used Uber to navigate the city, but I’m sure more adventurous folks could easily get around via the metro. Loved the historic home and the surrounding residential neighborhood. Thanks Kaprice!

Great location

My teenager, husband and I celebrated an Xmas vacation this year and enjoyed our stay on H Street. We ate at nearly every restaurant within walking distance and loved every meal. We also enjoyed a very merry Xmas Eve with the friendly bartenders of the Queen Vic. It was a bit of a trek, but one day we walked to the Washington Monument from the VRBO - and I am not one to typically do that much walking - so it is doable! Kaprice was always quick to respond when we had a question, the space was comfortable and perfectly met our needs. We would definitely stay here again.

Central location, near a lot

We have a very pleasant time overall. The house was adequately stocked with a wide range of things we may have needed. One minor change was the shower was very very small. It’s a claw foot tub which has a circular curtain around it and the curtain would stick to you, (it was new and clean) which was much appreciated. The wood floors were a bit rough but on par with the age of the house. Overall all, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.
