Heart of Capitol Hill Row House Luxury & Location

The property needs better maintenance. We stayed for 6 nights, and on the first day we reported that the kitchen sink/garbage disposal was not working properly and water was backing up, making the kitchen sink difficult to use normally. The host asked for video evidence, which we provided through the Vrbo message thread. The host promised multiple times to coordinate with or send a handyman, but no handyman ever came and the issue was not repaired before checkout.The weather was hot during our stay, but the issue was not just the outside temperature. The first floor cooled properly, while on the second floor the air was barely blowing at all, especially in the master bedroom. That made sleeping upstairs uncomfortable. We reported the upstairs/bedroom AC issue before checkout as well.The shower faucet also did not fully switch to the showerhead. The bedding was synthetic and did not breathe well in the heat, and the pillows/linens felt mismatched rather than like a properly prepared set. The unit overall felt old and poorly maintained, with sticky doors and noticeable smells.The host responded and did not deny the issues, but the promised handyman never came and the problems were not fixed during our stay. After checkout, I contacted Vrbo support because the reported issues had remained unresolved, but the host did not offer partial reimbursement. Overall, the unresolved maintenance issues affected normal cooking/cleaning, showering, and sleeping.

Great place. Sofa bed was very comfy! Great location. Super close to fun and very quiet!

We had a wonderful time and the host was an exceptional communicator -- quickly and graciously responding to the questions we had. Would book again.

Was a snap to work with the owner when we could not figure out the AC system. Changed it for us remotely! How cool is that? I had to do a lot of work and I really appreciated the large external monitor that was available to me (including an HDMI cable) in the study/second bedroom. Kitchen was the nicest I have been in. Fresh, updated, sunny, usable. If only on-site laundry was included, this would be the only place I would stay on my frequent visits to DC.

Nice house w/ enough room for a family. Excellent location within short walking distance of Metro & restaurants.
