A Rental For Those With Little Money & Good Taste (#42030)

Washington, District of Columbia
 

Description of the Washington vacation condo rental

OWNER URGES ALL POTENTIAL RENTERS TO BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH THE RENTAL BY READING ALL INFORMATION POSTED BELOW PRIOR TO MAKING AN INQUIRY. THANK YOU.

This beautiful and unique city condo is a less expensive and well-equipped option for many families and business people who are looking for the best value for their dollars while visiting Washington, DC. Yet, this is NOT the equivalent of a budget hotel or motel. People who like the idea of cheaper hotel alternatives and excellent customer service have been flocking to this unit for nearly 4 years. This unit is really clean and does have better amenities than the average more expensive city rental or any hotel that might be closer to major attractions in DC.

One key point about this rental that keeps it being a trusted favored housing solution for people all over the world is that it's prices are the best in the business, it's perks are very unique, and the owner's service to the public is beyond perfection and she can easily relate to the vast majority of customers who are looking for an awesome DC experience that will leave them with money to spare.

Located in a secluded part of a multicultural residential area in Washington, DC right up the street from the Capitol Hill offices, Downtown DC, and a 5 minute drive to RFK Stadium and the historic Langston Golf Course, this DC condo is also close enough to major tourist attractions, with downtown and major tourism being 10 easy minutes away.

The owner is a real feeling person who realizes that many people in this economy are suffering financially and does not believe that families and people needing to visit DC need to spend lots of money to get away. Commercialism is not the running theme here--VALUE/QUALITY for your dollar is.

Because this property does not have easy access to the metro, all guests for this DC condo must drive to the property or take cabs. If you absolutely must need to be close to metro and/or in quick walking distance of tourism, the owner is not expecting to hear from you and encourages you to spend a little more to be happier at a place where you can quickly walk to tourism. Otherwise, everyone who needs easy and quick parking without wanting to pay for it and would like to make the most of their DC experience should be the only people inquiring about the availability of this well-maintained and affordable unit.

This 800 sq. ft. 2 bedroom unit sleeps up to 8 people and has one master and one smaller, one full bath, one queen bed in the master bedroom, one large sectional with queen sofa bed in the living room, and one full sofa bed in the second bedroom, which has a desk. The sleeping quarters are unconventional, but ideal for families (the main customers), business people, or anyone requiring a fully functional living arrangement. All of the furniture is CLEAN and good quality and every appliance and electronic on the premises is of the best quality. There is even a washer and dryer in the unit for all guests, including detergent. This unit is not a hotel, so you will not get daily intrusion from housekeeping or crazy drunk strangers knocking on your door at 3am. This place is the truth and has been going strong as a quality top rental in the city for nearly 4 years.

To rent this unit, you must be open-minded, intelligent about how short term rentals work, drama-free, and professional. The owner strictly follows the Fair Housing principles to a tee. There is never discrimination based on gender, religion, sexual orientation, familial status, race, background, color, creed, or national origin here. You just have to be a decent adult person who believes in everything mentioned above and who can be professional in all transactions with the owner. That's it.

Owner Supplied Testimonials
We were here a few weeks ago and the owner is FABULOUS. Everything was of top quality, exceeded our expectations and just as described in her ad. We loved the Metro Center parking and the little added perks we got for free. If we had stayed at a hotel I know we would have been charged for every little thing, but this owner made life so easy for us for no charge, she's a rare gem. We have stayed at other vacation rentals around the country and NEVER have we had such a pleasant and warm experience. We are from a small town in Michigan and had no trouble with this cute little urban condo. Everything was really top-notch. It was exactly what we needed, so convenient to everything, and I HIGHLY recommend it to others and will stay again any other time I am in the DC area. It's really worth it.
--Dana M.

Weather was nice and in the 50s and 60s. Found the unit through a Go**gle search for "Furnished Condos in Washington, DC." We visited all the basic sights. Bought weekly metro bus passes and weekly metro rail pases. Never had a problem geting to where we wanted, using these two transportation means.

The Safeway store has complimentary shuttles that will take you and your groceries home. The apartment was great. It worked perfect for us. Having the pop, water, candy, etc. in the fridge for our arrival was awesome!

Dear Ms. Banks,
First we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for the accommodation you have given us. The vacation far exceeds our expectations. The place was great! The experience was beautiful. We had a little apprehension initially about the neighborhood, but people were friendly and courteous. The bus rides were probably the most exciting of all! We Californans are not used to bus rides!

Dear Susan,
The place is great. I have never stayed at such a well stocked vacation rental. The place can double as a fallout shelter, lol. Thanks for everything, enjoyed the stay.

Susan,
Nice place! Been to D.C. plenty of times and this visit was for business at Walter Reed. Loved the location! Extras in the fridge and the other items were definitely a plus. Thanks for everything!

Dear Susan,
Thank you for providing a home away from home while our home was being renovated.

Our first day we took the metro to the mall to see the pre-inaugural celebrations. It was sooo crowded but later heard there were over three hundred thousand people. This is really different for us because we live in the middle of 10 acres of 150 foot trees in a very small area of southern Oregon (Merlin). The condo was wonderful. Also, thank you so much for the parking pass!

We had a great, very busy time here in DC. The condo was just right for our family of 6. We really appreciated having the parking pass for Union Station! Thanks for the drinks & snacks! The Safeway was very nice. Thank you for the "frequent buyer" cards to use. Your instructions were very thorough and helpful for getting to Union Station, the parking restrictions, etc. A couple of times we ran out of hot water in the morning, but other than that, our stay was fine!
Noah loved it!

The weather here for us at first was cold then the weather became perfect except for a couple of rainy days. Our stay here was great...The cherry blossoms were really nice to see, enjoyed the Capitol tour, and all other events that we went to. Thanks Susan for a great place to stay.
