Achtzehnhundertfünfundneunzig @Bloomingdale, NW

Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem authentischen Erlebnis sind, sollten Sie in Betracht ziehen, während Ihres Aufenthalts in DC bei mir zu Hause zu bleiben. Ich befinde mich in einem von Bäumen gesäumten Block im Viertel Bloomingdale in NW. Es ist ein Viertel mit nur 12 Quadratkilometern und vielen verborgenen Schätzen: unscheinbare Kneipen, Überraschungsparks und preisgekrönte Restaurants. Bloomingdale liegt zwischen den Stadtteilen Shaw und Eckington. Es befindet sich an der Grenze des Nordwestquadranten des Distrikts und erstreckt sich von der Second Street NW bis zum North Capitol. Im Süden grenzt es an die Florida Avenue NW und im Norden an die Bryant and Channing Streets.

Eighteen Ninety Five ist ein geräumiges viktorianisches Haus mit 7 Schlafzimmern und 41/2 Bädern. Es kann bequem 19 Gäste halten. Ich biete mein Zuhause als einen sauberen, billigen und sicheren Ort zum Schlafen und Aufladen in der Hauptstadt der Nation an. Es ist bescheiden und machbar für ein paar Nächte. Es gibt eine Küche im Haupthaus sowie in der englischen Kellerwohnung für Ihre Nutzung.

Das Haus im Haupthaus verfügt über ein Esszimmer mit einem sehr großen Holztisch, ein Wohnzimmer zum Entspannen mit den Gästen; ein Bügeleisen mit einem Bügelbrett; Kleiderbügel; und soweiter und sofort. BITTE BEACHTEN SIE: Dies schließt auch den englischen Keller ein. Jede Einheit ist völlig privat und sicher.

We were a group of 9 students doing clinical rotations at the hospital campus nearby. Dr. Koura was very responsive when we had questions or needs. The location was excellent for our needs.

Timothy paid $38 per person (11 persons-group) to stay at my very economical, clean, spacious, and safe home in DC, the Nation’s Capital city. You would think he’d be more appreciative and grateful. Sadly, some people like Timothy come with such high expectations, after paying so little. We have many proper upscale hotels with many amenities in DC, that cost on average $150 a night per person. My home does not compete nor purport with those establishments. Timothy’s rating is not fair. Keep calm and continue to read more credible reviews..

Roomy and plenty of room for 18 people!

The property manager is amazing! Great communication, understanding, and helpful. Location is 10-15 minutes from DC, National Harbor and bars/clubs and restaurants. Beds are all twins/futons, so this is best for individuals who are traveling together but not so much couples who want to sleep in the same bed. No TVs but we weren't in the house much to use them anyway! There is so much to see and do in the area. Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect Girl's Trip

Dr. Gibson was very attentive and answered all our questions quickly. Her place is big and we each had our own sleeping place and like 5 bathrooms - with 7 ladies that is a plus. The place was lovely, clean and the neighborhood seemed nice and safe. With the heat we encountered that weekend it was great to arrive to a cool house with the air conditioning already running. The house worked perfect for us as we came to DC to go explore and experience DC. Thank you Dr. Gibson for a wonderful place to lay our heads each night!

Great D.C. Experience

This property was a great value for our family of 6 and our friends family of 7. You will still need to take public transit to get to all the sites but it’s a reasonable commute and we also believe using a city’s transit system is a necessary experience to get the feel for a city. There are plenty of rooms and beds. We were there to see D.C. not hang out in the home, but when we did play games and relax there was plenty of room to all do our own thing. I read the previous bad reviews and think the criticism was unwarranted based on our experience. There was some issues associated with the home being over a 100 years old and not at the top of the price list, but we didn’t pay for granite countertops and a hot tub. It’s a great value, great location and there’s plenty of room.

Thanksgiving Stay

This home is lovely with exquisite art work. Unlike some homes that fit large groups through the use of air mattresses and sofas, this home really can sleep 19 comfortably. Most of the beds are doubles and almost every room has a futon so it was great for children to have their own beds. I think it would also be great for groups of individuals traveling together but might be less so for couples wishing to sleep in the same bed. The home is in a very quiet neighborhood so it provides a nice respite from the rest of the city. There is also a playground/park a few blocks away (which is great for letting kids work out some energy). One note - there are no TVs. Not such a big deal with phones, tablets, etc. (and wifi is included!) but something to keep in mind if TV is important. Overall, it was a great stay and a very nice home for my (rather large) family to gather in for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Beware

It really pays to read the reviews. We had a group of woman and while meeting in the common area of the home, some had to stand or sit on the floor. When I booked, it was not clear that you needed to enter the exact number of people staying. If the home is advertised as sleeping 19 then the cost should be based on that and not the total number of guests as long as it does not exceed capacity. When we first arrived, we were looking for linens/ towels and there were not enough for all of us. So, while looking for more towels we opened one of the drawers and it completely feel to the floor. Our mistake was not taking a picture and reporting it immediately. We felt that the owner was aware that it was non functioning and used for staging like the rest of the furniture. But of course, she is saying that we damaged it and charged for repair but I am sure the entire thing was not worth the amount. There is nothing special about any piece of furniture in the home. I've rented many properties for multiple occasions and I must say this was the worst ever! The air conditioning is inadequate for the size home and there is no central air. The main floor was freezing, while the other floors were hot and the window units did not help. Also, just note that there are no tvs and mirrors are limited, so not ideal for 12 women. Beyond that, the glasses appeared to be clean but had to be rewashed because of soap residue. One good thing to note: the neighborhood was very nice and conveniently located.
Antwort von VrboOwner am 31. Juli 2021
Tara and group were not ideal for a budget experience in the District of Columbia. She’s in her feelings because she was charged for damages that she made at the property.. Thus, she rated the property negatively. Tara checked out and left every AC unit on in the home. I found this very strange and irresponsible. Tara believed she could find luxury accommodation at my home for the cheap price her group paid. Reading is fundamental and Tara failed to read not just the reviews to my home but the listing also. The listing and photos featured are actual and factual. Rest assured that I guarantee a very clean, safe, and cheap sleep. The home is not a set-up to come hang out and watch TV nor lounge around. Please do not pay Tara’s coded review much mind. It’s twisted and spiteful. Continue to read more credible ones before and after hers.

Responsive owner, but not what we expected

We used this home as a space to enjoy our first time to Washington D.C. with our extended family - a total of 14 people. We have stayed in numerous vacation rentals and have never had an experience quite like this before. I want to preface this with saying owner was very responsive any time we had a question. Upon arrival, we were overwhelmed with our large party to experience street parking. If you do not arrive before 5pm, it is very difficult to find parking. As long as we returned around 5, each of our families were able to find parking nearby, but do expect a short walk to the house. The neighborhood overall is not the place I'd want to walk at night anyway. When we arrived in the home, we were shocked to find out there are no actual queen size beds. Be aware that it is not going to be possible to sleep more than 1 person in any bed comfortably. The listing says it is river/ water front, but it is definitely not. It is however close to the National Mall. While the home SLEEPS lots of people, it most definitely does not accommodate lots of people in the living space. The couch can only seat 3-4 people and the dining table only seats 4. So be prepared to eat some meals on the floor. There are plenty of showers and bathrooms though. The listing also states that there are dishes/ utensils for kids but we did not find that to be true. We found a small handful of plastic dishes, but thankfully we brought paper plates as these were not sufficient for our crew. When we arrived we were given very clear instructions on expectations for using this space. We were shocked to find that if you moved furniture there were fees if cleaning crew had to move them back and also fees if any dirty dishes were left in the sink. My recommendation is take lots of pictures when you arrive, and when you leave. Were were accused of breaking a decoration that is out of reach without a ladder and this ended up costing us some of our deposit even though we spent HOURS cleaning this home before checking out. When we explained that we did not break this, the owner did offer to refund us, but that is hardly the point. We left the home spotless and have pictures to prove it. We had a wonderful time seeing our nation's capitol, but we wish we had just stayed in a hotel.

Peter booked a non-refundable booking last year and requested to change the dates due to the Covid pandemic. As a courtesy I changed the dates, reserving my home for an entire year to receive his family. In fact, after several months passed, Peter requested a second time to change the dates of his stay which could not be honored. He booked the home for 17 guests (7 adults and 10 children) at a rate of $32 per person in DC. This discounted price is really an incredible bargain and almost unheard of for accommodating a group that size anywhere in DC. I am sorry Peter’s expectations of my home and neighborhood did not please him as a commercial hotel space would have. Bloomingdale NW DC is one of DC’s most sought-after neighborhoods with beautiful Victorian homes as mine and lovely tree-lined blocks. In fact, it is one of the fastest gentrified neighborhoods in America for its overall beauty and value. It is urban and diverse. Most people love the neighborhood! My listing of my home is very accurate. Every picture is detailed to show and describe the expectations of the home. Nothing is fudged about the listing. There are no pomp and circumstances to coo anyone to stay and the home is priced accordingly. As listed, all beds are twin sizes in the main home and only one queen size bed is available in the English basement apartment. I am sorry that Peter did not take the time to properly read the listing before booking. The home is listed to “sleep” and not to entertain. The photo of the living room shows the couch. Seventeen people cannot sit on it at one time. The dining room shows 4 chairs to the dining room’s table. My listing does not state that there are “dishes/utensils for kids,” nor are there plastic dishes as the review claims. It does states that there are basic utensils available. It is expected that responsible guests will return the home as founded. However, some guests do not respectfully care for the property as others. From experience, informing guests that there is a charge for dirty dishes and to re-arrange moved furniture, guests do comply. It is not necessary to take lots of pictures when you arrive my home. An item was broken, and Peter’s damage deposit was charged $20 to replace it. He protested and I simply agreed to return the $20. Just as I had agreed to Peter’s aggressive requests to refund and to change his dates “due to Covid,” I simply wanted to please my guests. I too wish that Peter and his family had stayed in a hotel.

Description misleading

The house claims to have seven bedrooms. More accurately: You are given access to seven sleeping areas, but two are in a condominium on a lower level with no entrance from the main house. One area is more like a back porch that is closed in, with a twin bed in it. For beds, the option says futon/sleeping couch. Just know every one of those is a small futon, except one, which is a long futon. So if you need anyone to double up, they will not have much room. If i remember right, you can sleep 15 without anyone doubling up. I need to doublecheck this, but i believe the property claimed to have parking. There is no specific parking for this home, the only available is street parking, first come first serve. Beware the book on the coffee table in the main room. It has very mature content that should not have been left out for children to see. The house was clean and the host was easy to be in contact with. The instructions for entry were clear, once you understand that there are two entrances to separate parts of the home. Be very careful with the upstairs shower; the door is tricky, and If it leaks with normal use you will lose some of your security deposit for repairs.

The description of my property does not purports to coo guests to book. In fact, my attempt is to be very clear with details and instructions to avoid guests like Jaime that do not take the time to properly read. The home’s description is very accurate. It is a two unit 5-bedroom home that includes a 2-bedroom English Basement apartment. All beds are twin size for the exception of one queen. All sofa beds are twins. Thus, no disclaimer is given for individuals that may need to sleep in commercial sized beds at a proper hotel. The coffee table book on African art is appropriate. No warning is attached to it for children. The property states city street parking. My home is offered as an economical, clean, and safe space to crash for a night or two. Priced at an unbelievable affordable group rate for a DC experience.

Lovely property, reasonable price in the city

This Bloomingdale property is really lovely with African art and high ceilings. Decorations and accommodations throughout are basic but comfy. House is clean; some things are a bit dated but the property owner was responsive if a bit prickly when asked. We had a great time during our girls weekend and location was central to many city destinations. Neighborhood is quite but dense, urban. Parking was a challenge but we used Uber/Lyft with ease.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

This is my second home. I lived in it for 4 years. It is located in Bloomingdale, NW, DC, in one of the most sought after communities in the area. The homes in this neighborhood are gorgeous and stately Victorians. I no longer live here and offer it to budget travelers visiting our Nation's Capital.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

The grandeur of the Victorian age is personified in the Victorian homes of Bloomingdale. The wood floors, high ceilings, and the openness reception of the first level are stunning.
