Game Room + Gym: Downtown DC Home!

Reviews

• 5/5

  The house was great for a group stay! Very clean and well-furnished. Not too far from a metro station. Very calm and quiet neighborhood. That host was very easy to communicate with; very friendly and helpful when we needed it, and responded very quickly to questions. I would definitely recommend this house and host and would absolutely choose to stay here again given the opportunity.

  5/5

  Stayed here to visit family and show our kids and parents downtown DC. The house is beautiful down to the mirrors in all the rooms. The location is convenient to get downtown if driving or a short drive to the Metro station. The owner showed us to the nearby grocery store and a good take-out spot for seafood and wings. Ephram the owner was quick to bring a replacement coffee maker when we told him a previous guest put coffee grinds in the water side of the coffee maker. Since our vehicle was too tall to park in the DC garages, he also showed us a good spot to park after 6:30 in DC for an afternoon walk. For 4 adults and 6 kids, the house had plenty of room for the family together time and space for the parents away from the kids in the game room. Will stay again if we are in the area again.

• NOT THE BEST CHOICE

  1/5

  First of all, The area is a high crime area. Lots of homeless and low income housing & abandon houses. Furthermore there was a police generator with cameras & lights on the same corner of the house. 2nd, The home owner or property manager never returned any of my emails from the day I booked. Never replied to a text. I tried many times to call, got a voice message but mail box was full and could not even leave a message. This property is managed by "Evolved" They would not relocate me or help me at all. Two woman working at Evolved were nice enough to try to help.At check-in, the security code to get in the house was not working. After 1 hour passed the company Evolved could not get in touch with the owner either and the company canceled the booking and refunded me the money. At this point I need to find a place for 10 people. This was a ridiculous process and I will consider using another property manager next time. My safety and the safety of my family is most important and should be for VRBO.

  Hi Leo, the homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
  - We’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at check-in. The code had been set in advance, and our cleaner, who was still preparing the home, was onsite when you arrived before the designated check-in time. We typically send access details immediately after booking, and we’ll ensure that continues without delay moving forward.
  - We understand the situation was frustrating, though it's worth noting that you called Evolve right away instead of reaching out to our local Guest Contact, who was available to assist.
  - The neighborhood was developed starting in 2015 and completed in 2019. It’s a unique area—close to the DC Mall yet still quiet and suburban—with several police officers living nearby.
  - While we understand your concern about visible security equipment, previous guests haven’t mentioned safety issues, and many have described the area as peaceful and family-friendly.
  Thanks for taking the time to leave your review.
