We had an absolutely amazing stay! The condo was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, comfortable, modern, and had everything our family needed. The location couldn’t have been better. We attended two Nationals baseball games, and it was only a 3–5 minute walk to Nationals Park, which made game days incredibly convenient. We were also lucky enough to find parking directly in front of the building every time we returned, which made coming and going very easy. We visited most of the monuments and several great restaurants during our trip, and Uber rides were typically only $12–$18, making it both affordable and convenient to explore Washington, D.C. The pool was another highlight of our trip. Our kids loved it so much that they swam three different days! The building was well maintained, and all of the amenities were excellent. We also rented a car for one day to attend a concert at Northwest Stadium, and the drive was only about 30 minutes. Earlier in our trip, we drove to New York
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your place! We had the best time ever! Our host was outstanding, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed! The apartment was spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable. A true home away from home experience! Fantastic location too! In addition to being located in the heart of Navy Yard, the apartment is less than a mile from historic Washington DC, making it so convenient for you to explore the many Smithsonian attractions as well as many other areas of the city. As for the nearby coffee shops and dining areas, they are all within walking distance of one another. Lastly, I'd like to give a shout out to the professional baseball team, the Washington Nationals! They were so much fun to watch! We'd gladly return for another stay and would highly recommend it to friends planning a DC visit. Thanks again for sharing such a wonderful, convenient base for exploring the nation’s capitol!
We stayed at this Airbnb in McLean, right next to Tyson's Corner, for 5 days. We really enjoyed the place. Once we settled in, we had a car and had no trouble parking the car in the parking garage. We were there to visit friends and also do some shopping at Tyson's Corner, so the location made it really, really convenient because we beat the DC traffic. The rooms are comfortable, and the place is spacious for 4 people. There are 2 rooms: one has a large king bed, and the other seemed like a queen bed, so up to 4 adults can easily sleep. If there are more than 4 adults, I'm not quite sure how that will work out. It has a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. We used all the facilities, and they worked extremely smoothly. The internet connection is good, so that is obviously a big plus. It's a nice building, and overall, I have no reason to complain. We really enjoyed our stay, and we would be more than happy to stay in the same place once again.
We had a wonderful stay here. It was our first visit to DC, and the hosts made our stay go smoothly and enjoyable. It did rain off and on, so we didn’t get to enjoy the rooftop pool as much as we would’ve like. We did get to see DC United play Montreal from the rooftop right across the street which was pretty cool. The top floor amenities were nice to have if needed- big gym, rooftop pool, football, tv, grand living room type lounge areas with board games, pool table, and grill. This is definitely a great place to stay if you’re there for sports games: Washington Nationals and DC United. Be aware, It’s not as close to the metro (subway) as we thought, but It’s not bad- a 10-14 min walk. There are capital bikes stationed within a block which adds other options to get around. Restaurants are nearby, but also a 10-15min walk. The rain compounded that “hassle”, otherwise it wouldn’t be a big deal.
We really liked the apartment. It was very cozy and fully equipped for a short stay. It could probably be improved by changing the blankets—they were quite hot, but when the air conditioner was on, we still needed something to cover up. Everything else was perfect: a fully equipped kitchen, a good washer and dryer, and a convenient location. If you don’t want to use a car, the metro is within walking distance. It’s also very convenient to have a Harris Teeter nearby. We also highly recommend JINYA Ramen Bar—they have a great kids’ menu, which was very helpful for us. We tried Carbonara (which is highly rated), but it was a bit of a disappointment for the price—not the best option if you really enjoy Italian pasta. I would say it was average. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.
This was easily one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable, also very clean. I loved the possibility of using a washer and drier. The bathtub was huge and the bed very comfortable. The host was nice and gave me very precise instructions, so that I was very smooth to get in with the self check in. I liked the area a lot and the proximity to the river, as well as the very convenient access to the metro, the Whole Foods just around the corner, and areas with bars and restaurants. I booked this apartment also for the access to a swimming pool and gym, which I didn’t end up using because I was very busy. I wish this was my apartment! I would recommend going there and I would definitely go again if I had the chance!
Thank you, Talya, Rayn, and Dee, for letting us enjoy your beautiful home. We had such a relaxing and wonderful stay. The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable throughout our visit. We especially want to thank you for being such thoughtful and accommodating hosts. When we needed a late checkout, you were incredibly kind and flexible in extending it, which made our departure so much less stressful. Your prompt communication and hospitality truly made us feel welcome. We would absolutely recommend your place to anyone looking for a comfortable, peaceful, and well-equipped stay, and we would love to come back again in the future. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!
The location was great and it was great to be able to walk to a Whole Foods (2 blocks away) and a great coffee shop down the street. Loved having this as a base during our family vacation where we went and did the touristy spots (national mall/capital building) but also the Yards Park area and the Wharf. The unit was spacious and it was great to have the two bedrooms. One of the bedrooms (without the windows) has the larger bed but is also closer to the trash chute and the elevators. If you bring a sound machine (or use a phone app) it masks the noise but just an FYI as you plan your trip. I couldn't find the pack n play in the unit and Talya was super responsive and even dropped off a new one for us to use for our toddler.
My daughter and I stayed here for a week while visiting Washington, DC, and we had a great experience. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed after full days of walking, sightseeing, and exploring the city. We especially appreciated the location. Getting around was easy, whether we were walking or using the Metro, and there were plenty of nearby places to grab a meal or pick up anything we needed. The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming throughout our stay. The host was friendly, responsive, and provided clear instructions, which made everything very easy. We would absolutely stay here again and are grateful for the part this Airbnb played in making our trip such a special memory.
My husband, pet dog, and I had a very comfortable stay here in the heart of Tysons. The host made sure their friendly property manager met us for our pre-planned early check in with all the necessary fobs, parking pass, and information. The apartment is spacious and the HVAC system is quiet yet powerful. The pool was a highlight and the neighborhood is very dog-friendly and walkable. You can walk to Tysons II Galleria. The in-unit washer and dryer were convenient and worked well. Good communication from the host but they can take several hours to reply so plan ahead. Also, the garage is busy and tight so pay attention when driving through. Overall a good deal for a great stay.
