Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Howard County

This is our second time staying with Wanda and it was even better than the first time. The kitchen is well stocked with whatever you need if you like to cook your own food. But if that’s not your thing there are a bunch of fantastic restaurants to choose from within walking distance (the hosts have fantastic recommendations!) The bathroom had more than enough towels and toiletries for the three of us and was well stocked with everything you could need. It’s within walking distance of the university as well as the metro if you want to do some touristy stuff as well (which we did on our last day). The hosts are super responsive and kind and quick to update if anything is wrong. If you’re super comfy girlies like we are, there are plenty of blankets to go around while enjoying the super quaint living room. It’s one of the best airbnbs we have stayed at and has set the bar for every subsequent Airbnb we have stayed in. we will definitely stay here again the next time we’re in DC!

The place is nice in a great neighborhood right next to the park, and is really worth it when it’s less than all the hotels in the area. My only note is that you go down the stairs and enter the basement apartment directly- there is no separate door or key separating this space from the rest of the building and other tenants could come down if they were inclined. The bedroom door locks when you’re in it for your safety, but there is no key or code to safely lock your possessions in when you leave for the day. This was the only, but significant drawback of an otherwise great place. Although the place felt safe, we didn’t know the people there and therefore did not feel comfortable leaving our valuables in the apartment, so we had to carry our laptops, tablets, jewelry and passports for the day.

Absolutely loved this space. The location is great and allows for exploration of the city. The space itself was clean and spacious. My favorite piece was having access to the gym within the Fairmount hotel (if im not mistaken). Lastly, host(s) are extremely responsiveness. I had questions about the property prior to booking as i was booking extremely last minute and I received a quick response.

Ulrich and Gisele were excellent hosts. Their space provided the perfect balance of a great place to work during the day (with much better views than the office) and an excellent location to venture off and explore in the evening. Ulrich provided a list of dining options that did not disappoint. Their apartment provided a very comfortable and quiet rest as well. All in all, the stay was as advertised and much appreciated - I’d book again in a heartbeat.

This was the perfect place for a quick weekend trip! Charles’ home was beautiful, clean, and we felt right at home. He was extremely responsive and flexible. My friend and I were impressed with how nice the basement apartment was; it is even better than the pictures! It was such a comfortable stay that was 100% worth the price. I would definitely book with Charles again in the future!

lovely place in a great location and a friendly and responsive host, enjoyed our stay greatly.

Very nice Airbnb! Everything was spotless, the host was wonderful and communicative. Only thing I would say is the place very small.

Great place with good amenities, really enjoy our stay here!

good place and walk to metro ten mins. Suitable for the traveling living.

Amazing rental, exactly as advertised in the heart of Washington D.C.

Judy was an excellent host and the place was great ! Walking distance to everything .No matter what time you need to speak Judy she was available .This is a great condo with a spectacular view .10/10

Love this clean calm space-the balcony was wonderful. Mark was super responsive, checked in on us and we had everything we needed-especially in the kitchen. Great location for walking to restaurants and stores. Will definitely stay again!

This condo is highly recommended. The host is very easy to work with and provides beautiful and comfortable accommodations. The condo is incredibly close to the Friendship Heights Metro stop along with a list of other shops, restaurants, and grocers. The building is easy to navigate and quiet. Everyone really keeps to themselves. I truly enjoyed my stay, felt safe, and would absolutely stay here again.

This was an awesome stay! If you have infants their place is a must as it is easily baby proofed and has so many accessible items!

Trip went very well worth every penny. Owner was very helpful answered whenever we called to help with check in gave us no problems about playing music on their Alexa or living room tv. Would get again for another trip.

Rosalyn's House was laid out perfectly, with lots of natural light and beautiful views of the gardens outside. The two-tone paint on the walls in the living area and nicely selected art was definitely a step above the average rental house. The Kitchen was one of the best equipped we have seen, and we loved the coffee options. The appliances were top notch. Rosalyn was always available to help us with questions and respond with help. The home was clean and well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great host! Responded to any questions I had about anything. Place was so clean and well maintained. We truly enjoyed our visit!

My friends and I had a lovely stay at Michelle’s place. The accommodations were top notch and we felt right at home. Michelle is an incredible host, responsive, proactive, and flexible and pleasant. We will definitely try to stay here again!

Cory's home was perfect for our Thanksgiving. We look forward to future family gatherings and making Cory's home ours again.

we have stayed here a few times and its a great stay each time. we love the ease of the neighborhood and the house. thank you again!

This home was the perfect place to celebrate my daughter’s graduation! We had family travel in from several states, and everyone felt comfortable and truly enjoyed the spacious layout. It was a bit too chilly to use the pool, but I’m already looking forward to booking this home again. I’ll definitely be a repeat renter!

We had a comfortable stay at Joseph’s house, which is located in a nice neighborhood with stores and markets nearby. He was responsive to all communications. The beds were comfortable. It was nice to have a variety of coffees, sodas and snacks provided. I would consider staying at his house again if the need arises.

Our stay at Justin’s Hot Tub Haven in Annapolis, was exactly that…a haven with a much enjoyed hot tub! Justin was exceedingly responsive, proactive, and flexible. The home is very well appointed with all the necessities, plus all the thoughtful touches like umbrellas, a doggie waste station, and bath robes to name a few. Our children loved the downstairs space (and secretly the adults were thrilled they had it too), and it felt to them like they had their own little apartment. The backyard felt like a small resort. We loved the quick walk to shops and the our boys loved the nearby basketball courts and baseball fields. We highly recommend this home and will stay here again!

Eric’s place is wonderful in a very quaint neighborhood! Communication with Eric was excellent. The home is very comfortable and accommodating for families and large groups visiting. We were in town checking out the DC sites and the proximity from the home to the Glenmont Metro was close and easy. The kitchen is well equipped with just about every appliance or cooking utensil you could need to whip up a meal. There’s two washer and dryers and plenty of towels which is really convenient for large groups. The backyard hot tub was nice for relaxing especially after a 20,000 step day exploring DC (phew!) I would most definitely recommend this home and host!
