Unique DC Row House Near Historic H Street!

• Quaint Location

  5/5

  Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this property, and I highly recommend it to others. The location was as described and very convenient, close to grocery stores, restaurants, and more.

  I have a couple of suggestions for enhancing the experience for future guests. While the property accommodates five people, we noticed there were only a few towels and just two mugs. Having enough essentials for the total number of guests would be great. Additionally, a hair dryer and a washer and dryer would be helpful amenities to include.

  As the house is older, the stairs are pretty steep, which made carrying luggage upstairs a bit challenging. However, the railing was very helpful.

  Overall, these are minor suggestions that did not detract from our enjoyable stay. Thank you for providing such a lovely place!

• Inviting and delightful accommodation

  5/5

  I stayed at this apartment for five days, and the accommodation itself was delightful. It had an inviting decor and an extremely comfortable bed. The residential neighbourhood provided a serene environment, perfect for morning jogs or walks.

  Yet, the check-in process could be improved. I did not receive the check-in information when I landed in DC around 4 pm, although check-in was at 3 pm. I had to call customer service on the day of arrival to receive this information. The information provided only covered access to the back door, and I had to email the host to request the code for the front door. This could be improved by providing comprehensive check-in details in a single email, preferably a day before arrival or a few hours prior to check-in. I had to use my Skype credit (my line was off) to call customer service and get the info and this is not convenient for international guests without local phone numbers.

  Another issue is the lack of iron. I was attending conferences and needed to iron my shirts. Ultimately, I had to go to the hotel where my colleague was staying to borrow their iron. I shared my feedback with the host, and it was well received.

  A last negative point was that I emailed the host a day before my departure to request a late check-out (12 p.m. instead of 11 a.m.) but did not get a response. I would have appreciated an acknowledgement of the request and a refusal if this was not possible instead of a non-response. However, this does not change the fa

• Very Disappointed

  1/5

  Sadly this sweet little house gets a one star. After staying in many many VRBOs this is my first negative experience. Here are a few details. Starting with check in... instructions were simply inaccurate. The Evolve team did resolve this in about 30 minutes and were very nice and helpful. Once inside, the house matched the photos for the most part and was clean. Upon entering the kitchen we found there to be not one hand towel in kitchen or restroom, one tiny dull paring knife, a semi broken kitchen stool, and a sad coffee situation. Upstairs, we found 5 old, smelly, bath towels with holes for our party of five. Not one hand towel or wash cloth. Mattresses were horrible to the point that not one person got a good nights sleep and the twin bed headboard isnt attached to anything. It rests against the wall and wobbles around making my 80 year old mother very nervous. I immediately reached out to the owner via email with no response. Followed up with two more.... crickets. It seemed a rather odd situation. The house is in a great location, its just simply not loved or maintained. I would avoid this property all together.
