  • Staying at Heather's was very good! I appreciate good quality of the room, bed (really big and comfortable), towels and all small details - it feels like a very good hotel room. Room has lot's of light and air. Apartment itself is in very green area, close to metro station and just 2 stations far from busy city centre. I recommend this apartment for all types of travellers and will gladly stay there when I am in Washington again!

  • Heather and Vasa were terrific hosts! They were friendly and warm and helpful without being "too helpful" (we had that experience once at a different BnB). Bottom line, the experience of staying with them was everything we hoped and more. The room was nice and clean. Everything was just as they said. They stayed in touch via email and text before, during, and after the visit when communication was needed. We also appreciated the use of the kitchen and common spaces, and they had everything we needed. We even met a few other visitors and they were great people. It was great to get to know Vasa and Heather a little on our first day, and they were happy to help with anything we had questions about, but we were free to come and go as we needed. That meant a lot to us. They even gave us a place to store our bicycles overnight, provided the parking pass we needed for our car, and made good suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. The only downside of the visit, which we knew going in, was that the bathroom was shared with other guests. But even that wasn't a problem. DC is a great city, easy to get around and with lots of sites to enjoy, and we heartily recommend Heather and Vasa's place to any other travelers our there hope to see our Capital city.

  • Heather and Vasa are wonderful hosts with a great home. They provided a map of the city with a suggested walking route as well as guidebooks. The room we stayed in was sunny, spotless, and most importantly quiet. Also, the plants in the room are a great touch. I highly recommend this house to anyone traveling in the DC area.

  • Nice nice room, in a beautiful house, the owners, a young couple, very friendly and peaceful.Everything was perfect, hospitality, cleanliness, location. From Union Station take a subway just 1 stop the ticket cost 2,20$ but if use the metro for all day take a ticket for 9$ afther 9:30 am you can go in every place throughout the day.I recommend this accommodation. 10+ Washington is a beautiful city for lovers of art and the story, impossible get bored. In a single day I shot 3 Museum, National Air and Space Museum, the Museum of American History and the Museum of Natural History. In one evening adive, a walk along The Mall, visiting the Lincoln Memorial and a view of White House.

  • Vasa is so great as well as the house, we had fun chatting and got useful information from him. We walked from the house to the Capital Hill in 20 min. We will definitely stay with him next time when we visit DC. The only bad thing is we did not meet Heather.

  • Heather and Vasa are amazing hosts. I had a wonderful stay in their well appointed, immaculately clean home. When I arrived, Heather welcomed me with clear instructions about the home, how to use/ access the amenities, useful guides about the neighborhood and sights around DC. She made herself available for any questions I had and was very fast at responding to all my emails. They were also extremely considerate of their guests, giving us free reign of their home. I was there on a research trip and I found the place extremely convenient for doing research at the National Archives. I highly recommend their place and will stay there again next time I'm in DC.

  • Heather and Vasa were wonderful hosts. The room was quiet and really comfortable, as was the bath. The WiFi worked like a charm. The New York Ave Metro was in walking distance and a short metro ride into the National Mall.

  • This was my first Air B&B experience, in a very cool 100-year-old row house that's been renovated, and it was fantastic. Heather and Vasa were gracious hosts. The room was comfortable and spotless. There's an electronic code lock so I could come and go as I pleased. There's a BikeShare rack about a block and a half away, but I brought my bike and locked it right out front. They house is a leisurely 10-15-minute ride to the W. Washington Conference center; another five minutes farther and you're at the White House. It was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

  • Heather and Vasa' s home was great. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Vasa was home when I got there at noon and I was just going to leave my luggage but he went up and got the room ready and before I was ready to go back out, I was moved in. I highly recommend using the bike share which is right up the street from the house. I rode everywhere and it was a lot more fun than the Metro. Vasa also offered me the use of his computer when I needed to get a document emailed right away. All in all, a good experience and a good DC value.
