Beautiful & Modern-near Subway Parking

The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. All the beds were cozy, and we had a pleasant stay inside the unit. The location is conveniently close—just a short drive to Howard University and my daughter's apartment.However, parking was a major issue, especially after 11 p.m. We had to park about six minutes away after driving around for 15 mins due to limited availability. The surrounding area felt a bit unsafe at night, with some unsettling activity and RATS (but that's DC). We also had difficulty accessing the lock box upon arrival. Once we looked at video, we could open it with no issues. But that was at 11pm and being exhausted after a long day.If you’re able to park before 8 p.m., you should have no trouble finding a nearby spot. Another small inconvenience was needing to wash towels ourselves, as there weren't enough clean ones for our family of five over our three-day stay. We prefer having multiple choice of clean towels for a 3 day stay. But there is a nice washer and dryer so not a big deal.On a positive note, the host was very responsive and helpful.

As advertised

It was a great place to stay

Lodging is as advertised. Clean and Ikea perfect. We did not feel comfortable walking from Metro stop at night but did during day. Can hear the children and TV in housing above during morning, but not a problem if you are out and about early.. Management team clearly aims to be helpful and was very accessible.

My grandmother and I came to Washington, D.C. for a 6-day trip. We had originally had a different place booked, but due to an unforeseen emergency at that property, it was cancelled, and I was left to find something new within a day of our travels and found this! Home Sweet City, was quick to respond to our request, answered questions and checked in on us via messaging periodically during our stay. We had an issue with the smart TV in the bedroom connecting to the internet. I messaged them around 7:30 pm and they messaged right back suggesting we unplug the TV, which worked! There was a handwritten note, a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine awaiting us when we arrived. Very personalized. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. There is no stove, but there is a toaster oven and a small hot plate if needed. It had laundry facilities, towels, and extra pillows and blankets. The neighborhood was quiet, and we were 500 ft. from a commonly used bus stop, which is what we used to get around town. On a typical day, it took about 15-25 minutes to get to downtown Washington, D.C. There is a family that lives upstairs, but for the most part, we were able to tune out the sounds of their daily living. They have a child (perhaps around age 4-5) that we could hear laughing or playing at times. On Friday and Saturday evening, they enjoyed their deck in the back of the house, which is right above the bedroom. It wasn't obnoxious, and they retired inside around 10:00 pm
