This is one of the most comfortable places you could hope for. If you are mostly interested in seeing Washington, DC, the public transit access is right outside and off you go. The living space is quite roomy and private. You will find that checking in and out with your host and any other communication you may have is a pleasurable experience.

Nice place and nice people.

Kaye and her husband are wonderful hosts. Their basement apartment is worlds better than any hotel suite I've stayed in outside of Vegas. Very comfortable king bed and an entire living room with a love seat and a couch. Microwave and mini fridge were all I needed. Tall tub with a great shower head. Everything was very clean and exactly as described.

CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! Big and beautiful. Safe area. We loved our 4-day stay. It's very large, private and spacious. We drove from NY and arrived very late and our hosts were very accommodating about that. They were both wonderful and kind. The place is as described. King size bed was comfortable, WiFi was fast, and the bathroom spotless! Easy parking near public transit. We would do it again!

A lot of space, very clean, a very good bed and a warm welcome. No cooking

Very clean and new. Just off the beltway in nice neighborhood. Nice, welcoming hosts. Short drive to grocery store and no more than 10-15 minutes to selection of restaurants, including upscale Blacks Bar and Kitchen. Basics provided.

This was my second time staying at Kaye's place. Great space and lovely hosts.

Spacious, clean, quiet, comfortable. No kitchen, but suite includes a microwave, fridge, & coffee maker. Great entertainment system and gas fireplace.

We felt very welcomed at Jennifer's place. It is cozy and comfy, great bed and linens, well stocked kitchen and easy parking in front of the house. Rock Creek Park is just down the road to bike, hike and walk to your hearts content. Easy access to public transportation. We will be going back! Thanks

Nice quiet apartment, clean, luminous, nice area. Perfect for us, because we were near the NIH, and also near Washington center. I recommand this location !

It is a nice house, very good location. The house is very clean, quite and beautiful. Jennifer is a very nice person, she made us feel very comfortable in her house. You don't need to bring anything with you, because Jennifer has already prepared everything for you. I strongly recommend the house, and if I come back to Washington dc, I will definitely want to live in the same place.

Jennifer had emailed us the instructions for checkin on the day and when we showed up her husband was kind enough to show us around the apartment which made it extra easy. The apartment is very cozy and well kept as described and the neighborhood is great. Considering the traffic to get in and out of the city (Washington DC), we parked the car at Bethesda station and took Redline from there which was convenient enough.

Our stay with Jennifer and Matt was lovely! The apartment had absolutely everything that we needed. The space was clean, warm and welcoming. The neighborhood was amazing. Very nice houses and Christmas lights! We felt very safe. Everything was a close drive away. We would definitely come back to this location. Thanks Jennifer!

Jennifer's place is a great place to stay. Cozy and comfortable. The walking trails nearby are great!

My husband and I loved our stay at Jennifer's! She was very flexible and hospitable, and her place very quickly felt like home away from home. Everything was just as listed and even better than expected (ex. soft, comfortable towels). Jennifer was quick to respond to any questions I had. I enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, which had everything I needed to bake some Thanksgiving pies. The bed was very comfortable, so my husband and I slept well. Both my husband and I were impressed with the shower pressure. The neighborhood was quiet and so convenient to my family, who we were up in Bethesda visiting. We would definitely recommend Jennifer's place to anyone wanting to visit the DC area.

The apartment was super cozy and cute! The bed was comfy and the living room area was beautiful with a great TV. This apartment is good for cozy nights in but is also super close to public transportation to DC if you want to spend a night out on the town. Just be wary, the family does live upstairs so be prepared from some noise there other than that I loved it!

This was my first time using airbnb and im so glad it was with Zach and Maurin. Although we did not get to really see/meet Maurin, Zach was very friendly and attentive. One of the nights the shower head had a bit if a leak and Zach was able to get it done by that night before we got back. On another night out in DC, i got a major headache and couldn't stop, just needed to go straight to bed and Zach was kind enough to provide some advil at my request. That was above and beyond. The place itself was very neat and clean and fairly big. There are two bedrooms although the first bedroom is hard to tell is the bedroom because it doubles as the living space as well. We loved having a private entrance as well, gave us freedom and flexibility to come and go as we pleased. The check in and check out process was also very easy and it was great that the hosts would respond to our texts and messages right away. The hosts also were kind enough to suggest surrounding restaurants. The location of the house was in a great neighborhood. This was such a great experience for my first airbnb. The only con is that it is a basement apartment, therefore you can hear most things upstairs, like a running child or dog, people walking, or bouncing of a ball. Most mornings it was very quiet though, so not much of a bother. There were also a few spiders that we had encountered but were able to get rid of them. I would definitely stay here again

Maurin was a great host! She was super friendly and accommodating. The apartment was nicely done and very spacious. A coffee pot and coffee was provided, along with dishes. Highly recommend!

My family's stay at Maurin and Zach's apartment was our first Airbnb experience, and it was wonderful! I was attracted to their listing because the location in Kensington was convenient to our family in Rockville and my daughter's competition at the University of Maryland, and yes, that location turned out to be great because of the proximity to the Beltway. But the actual property (a walk-out basement apartment below an adorable Cape Cod cottage) and the neighborhood (beautiful, quiet and safe) were perfect for a mother traveling solo with children. It fit our needs and exceeded my expectations! The apartment is very spacious (basically three sleeping/living rooms plus a kitchen/laundry area). The futon bed in the main room was very comfortable, but I also slept on the air mattress in the back room, and it was good. The small middle bedroom got a little warm at night for my son, so I think that it is better to sleep with that door open. Everything was very clean and neat as a pin! The hosts take great care of this space and their gorgeous yard. Communication with Maurin was great. We mostly texted but also caught up in person as we came and went. When we had a problem with the wifi, she and Zach were right on it and got it rebooted quickly. It felt very secure to know that they were nearby if needed, but also they were not intrusive at all. If my travels take me back to the DC area, I would definitely stay here again! So much better than a hotel!

Maurin's house was awesome. We were welcomed by her two very friendly pet dogs. The place was very clean and spacious. Maurin was very attentive in answering any doubts I had. All the instructions were clearly specified. And flexible check in-check out time is a big plus. Would definitely recommend.

Very friendly hosts. They had cute dogs in their garden and we couldd use the garden for sunbathing.

Maurin met us as soon as we pulled in and showed us around the unit. She asked if we needed anything and directed us to the nearest store.

We enjoyed our stay. Maurin was responsive to our questions and welcoming when we arrived. She made sure we had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and we had a good rest during our stay. We didn't do much more than sleep and have a little breakfast, but it was perfect. The neighborhood was quiet and well kept. The coffee was excellent and I really appreciated real cream for the coffee. The water was really appreciated as we spent a lot of time walking around DC. They have a young child, so there was a little pitter patter of little feet running around in the morning up above, but not bad and my daughters couldn't hear it in the front sleeping area. Check in and check out were really easy. Really nice stay.

Maurin was very flexible and accommodating for a late check in and early check out. Great communication throughout. The space was perfect and roomy for three people and very clean and organized. Would definitely book again.

Very cozy spot in the greater DC area. Perfect for couples!

Very nice and well furnished apartment in quiet neighborhood. Kind host attentive to guests. Thank you very much.

Trish' s place is in a beautiful, quiet residential neighborhood. The accomadations are wonderful and we particularly loved the gas fireplace due to the cold weather. The apartment has everything you need to enjoy a comfortable stay. Trish was very welcoming and thoughtful, leaving us juice, coffee and tea.

Trish's place was everything it looked like it the pictures! Cute, cozy and clean! She was extremely accommodating and easy to get in touch with! We will definitely be back!

Lovely clean, cozy apartment with everything you need. Trish is great to communicate with and our whole stay was smooth and very comfortable.

Trish is warm, friendly and well organized. No surprises! The location was perfect for us, as we visited family in Kensington. We love to walk in lovely weather, and enjoyed the 1.4 miles to the Grovesnor Metro when we wanted to get into the city. The space is very attractive, and the street is pretty, quiet and safe. We'll be back!

Very comfortable place. Nice host. Quiet neighborhood

I had a wonderful stay at Silver spring . The host is very warm and helpful. The place is really clean n artistic. Wonderful host n wonderful service.

Very friendly, quiet neighborhood.

We had a great time with my wife at Mireille's house. The house is very pretty and walking in that green neibourghood is a pleasure, with squirrels, birds and rabbits in the gardens. Mireille is a perfect host and went beyond duty, driving us to the mall and even sharing with us a beautiful day in Annapolis and making us feel at home. If you don't have a car, the metro is at 20 minutes walking and then 35 minutes from Downtown. We will come back if we go back to Washington.

Great stay!

I really enjoyed the conversation and atmosphere of the home. Mireille is such a fascinating person with great prospective. I really enjoyed my short visit at her home and would highly recommend a stay!

Mireille is a wonderful host, always there to make you feel welcome, and to talk about everything! She really loves interacting with her guests. I spent a great week in DC staying in her home. She even cooked a wonderful breakfast on the weekend. I would definitely recommend her place. The only thing you'll need is good walking shoes and directions to the bus/metro, and you're set.

Earlier in my visit to the D.C. area, I stayed with Mireille in another of the rooms in the houses. Since I needed a new place after visiting some friends and I already knew her, I went back to her place, and I couldn't be happier of my choice. She was always asking about my day and we talked about various topics.

It was such a delightful experience staying with Mireille's. The bed was comfortable, clean and the room was well lighted, and the breakfast was just perfect!! My husband and I had some lovely conversation with the host. In fact, I enjoyed every single minute of my time chatting with Mireille about life lessons. She is such a warm, wise, fun, and classy lady to be with! We will definitely come back to visit her and highly recommend her house to anyone coming to the DC area!

This place was so wonderful!! Laura was incredibly welcoming, yet professional, and you can tell she took the time to think through all of the different steps of your stay-- everything from how to use the washer/ dryer if you so choose, to how much coffee to put into the machine. I really appreciated how clean it was, and the amenities were wonderful.

The apartment was very nice and private. Laura provided us with all essentials and was very accommodating.

Very nice room close to bus stop and accommodating hosts.

A quiet neighborhood. Neighbors were helpful with directions.

Laura and her family are incredibly helpful and nice. As my luggage didn't show up - stranding me without toiletries and suit when heading to a conference - they stepped right up and helped me with the basics. The basement apartment has all you need, even good coffee and a fridge with what you need for breakfasting there before heading off for a long day of work.

Laura's place was quiet and comfortable, she went out of her way to make sure we had Netflix for our grandson to watch. She had fresh fruit and stuff to make breakfast, we didn't pack enough warm clothes to fit the weather and it was great that we were able to wash our laundry midway in our trip!

Our hostess met us at her front door with the key and then volunteered to help us get our bags up the stairs to her house and down again to the basement. We were very pleased with the accommodations. She left us a large amount of coffee and filters cheerios and in the refrigerator eggs and half and half and milk and orange juice. (Everything necessary for fixing our own breakfast). There were also crackers and chips and fresh spinach, onions and broccoli. We made a spinach omelet the first morning we were there using the electric nonstick griddle that was supplied. She also provided a full sized refrigerator and microwave. Everything was spotlessly clean. There was plenty of hot water. We also took a long walk on paths in the Rock Creek park which is just a couple of blocks away. At night it was very quiet even though the family lives upstairs. On the whole we had a very pleasant stay.

The place was extremely clean and Laura was more than generous with amenities such as coffee and orange juice and snacks to heat up in the microwave. There was also a washer / dryer and the shower was wonderful after long runs in Rock Creek. The drawback is lack of cooking options other than an electric pancake griddle and a microwave. I had assumed an oven and a stove because of the kitchen icon on the profile and wound up spending more on eating out than I had intended. On the whole, however, a positive experience and I would recommend the apartment, especially for those who do not care about cooking their own meals.

Great host and great place for a great value! I recommend it

Great host!

Lacys hone is perfect for an airbnb. We had a short stay but enjoyed the quiet and convenience of the bedroom and bath. Plenty of street parking also. Definitely recommend.

This place is really nice, clean and quite. Also, the hosts are very nice and friendly and are ready to answer any question that a guest might have. I did really enjoy staying there and will definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks guys

Lacy and Greg's place is nice and they were happy to accommodate my check in time. There are buses nearby to take you to the metro, or you can use Uber.

Exactly as advertised, two thumbs up!

Lacy's place was a great and comfortable space! Lacy was super flexible and kind concerning check in and questions, and was very communicative with me throughout my stay.

Lacy was a great communicator, he always responded fast and with accuracy to any of my questions. We arrived late and the room was all ready and lit so we wouldn't get lost in the dark. The room was clean with all necessities and we even had a loving cat to sleep with us. Thanks Lacy.

Al was a great host and very attentive to the needs of the guests. The room itself is in a house that has a total of 6 rooms (5 were rented out during our stay- the sixth is a basement 'living room' where Al installed cable TV), so tenants come and go very often. As a result, the house is generally dirty and crowded, however Al does a great job of picking tenants- for the two and a half months my boyfriend and I stayed in this room no guests were rowdy or loud and everyone was very nice and accommodating. The room is the same room in the picture, however does not look exactly the same (the bed is a queen-sized mattress on a bed spring without the black wooden frame or the comforter in the picture, as well the middle mirror door to the closet is missing). There was a mini fridge in the room which was wonderful, as well as a desk, chair, dresser, and large open closet. All in all, while the house was usually unkempt, Al would go out of his way to make the guests feel comfortable and welcome. If there was ever a complaint about the amenities or cleanliness, Al would fix the problem. He always answers his phone and was at the house within an hour when I once locked myself out. This is the only room in the house with a private bathroom- hot water and water pressure were fine.

These guys were great!

Al was very nice and helpful. The room is nice and quiet. the location was nice, close to metro (15 min walking) and close to a mall (10 min) that you can find almost everything

Nice, cozy house, could use maintenance, a bit rundown. Host is attentive and responsive.

College View was a well organized instant book property where the atmosphere was very communal. The house had great security and privacy measures. It was easy to retrieve the keys, enter the house and the room was as described. Would definitely stay here again.

I had stayed at Al's place for a week when I had visited DC for a conference. He was very prompt in responding and was a great host. Though they were some issues with the bathroom, he was prompt it getting it fixed and ensuring that we had a comfortable stay .

My stay was terrific, I would recommend this host to my friends and family. Thanks AL for being such a great host.

Very comfy, cozy and quiet

Great cozy place to retreat after a long day.

This little apartment was just what we needed for the weekend. Adorable to say the least. Everything was impeccably clean and Stacy and John were extremely accommodating, always checking in via message to make sure we didn't need anything else. They provided towels, refreshments, and toiletries too! It wasn't the quietest place (a fast train in the backyard and footsteps upstairs) but we still enjoyed our stay. If you need a place to stay in the area it's perfect for the couple on the go! Thanks again!

Stacy's place was great - clean, spacious, and quiet. She constantly made sure everything was good and comfortable.

Awesome place to stay! About 45 min from DC depending on traffic. Bed was comfortable for the two of us. Clean. Well stocked kitchen and enjoyed the coffee. Host were super friendly and easy to communicate with. Always available and checking to make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back and stay again.

Thank you! Very convenient and safe! Everything was clean and accessible and Jeff was accomdating when I had a favor! Would highly recommend!

It was a great place. Very comfortable.

After a long day of traveling, Stacy's was just what we needed. Warm, cozy bed, spotless kitchen and bathroom areas, and a very homey feel. We spent most of our weekend in DC, but the drive to and from was by no means inconvenient. Never any trouble getting in and out of the neighborhood. If you're looking for a nice and cozy place to hang your hat while in the DC Metro area, I highly recommend this! It was perfect for our stay.

Stacy and Jeff were wonderful hosts - they provided everything we needed from towels and soap, to ground coffee and filters for the coffee maker. The kitchen was equipped with all the essentials. The location worked well for us - central and near restaurants and stores, yet quiet and tucked away from traffic and noise. Our hosts provided all the information we needed and made it easy to schedule arrival and departure. I plan to recommend this bnb to my friends who visit the area.

First of all, excelent!!! The host Randa was a lovely host, very regardful, pleasant, nice and not invasive. Bahia and Kinz, the big dogs, were lovely too! They don't have access to the basement, but we saw each other sometimes (: The place It's exactly as shown in pix. Spacious, private, good bathroom, big and superconfortable bed, plenty of space to hang coats and keep clothes/shoes. There are courtains for the small windows eventhough there's not a bunch of light coming in. The TV works but I didn't use it often. There's coffee and tea for your arrival!! Location/transport It is easy to park on the street in front of the house if you are driving. An Uber to the metro station (medical center) costs around U$5. You can take the RideOn bus route 34 that passes in cedar lane, (3 min walk from the house) every 15 to 30 mins (you can check the route on (URL HIDDEN) It goes to Wheaton station, medical center, Bethesda station and friendship heights and it's very useful). You can walk to medical center (45 min) or to grossvenor station (35 min) - Red Line. Randa also lended me her bike so I could go ciclying (: In that case, it's important that you have your own locker! If you're going to the NIH, this basement is perfect! There is a big park close to the house! Cooking She provided me some pans and other kitchen materials apart from what is announced so I could cook. There is no real kitchen in the basement, but there is a hot plate on a table in the laundry. I washed the dishes in the tank. Cleaning The housekeeper came one day before I arrived, but the basement was not superclean, with dust and dog hair (the sheets and towels were good and clean, though)... I had the option to pay 50 bucks for her service again, but I preferred to do it myself and make it cleaner. Randa provides a vacuum cleaner, broom and other equipments for the cleaning duty that were good enough. I had access to the washing and drying machines whenever I wanted and she always let me know when she was going to do her laundry, as it is located in the basement. Getting connected The wifi connection is good! Not every phone company has signal in the area, specially inside the basement. Verizon is the best option according to Randa. Overall I had a great time staying in her basement for 3 months during winter/early spring and I had everything I needed, but the best of it was meeting Randa. I'd love to host her in my country and I'd love to come back. I definitely recomend her place! (: It was both mine and Randa's first experience with airbnb and I hope she loved it as much as I did! Hope my review helps the next guests ;)

Randa is fantastic!

Ksenia is a great host who was always looking for ways to make my stay better. The house has a beautiful backyard, and my room was very clean and comfortable. The location is near Walter Reed and the NIH, as well as near a grocery store and a great walking trail.

The house has a good atmosphere and there are two friendly dogs and a sleepy cat.

I had such a great time staying at Ksenia's place, she is wonderful! The house is adorable and super clean & cozy, and the pups are the sweetest. Ksenia is friendly and so sweet, and was always checking in to see if she could help in any way to make my stay there more comfortable. She even took me on a bike ride to check out the nearby trail, which is exactly what I needed after a long bus ride. I'll definitely be back :)

Thanks for the hospitality

Great host!

Bernice's place is the perfect spot for the longterm or business traveler. It was very convenient to the bus stop. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. I had no problems walking when it was dark. Bernice gave me my space yet she was attentive. Can't wait to return.

Bernice has great communication skills. Nice neighborhood. Very close to downtown silver spring.

Great place. Highly recommended

Friendly Host,It was a very comfortable stay. Neat and clean.

Bernice was a nice host. The place is quiet although transportation can be tricky if you don't have a car.

Berrnice was a gracious host. Her home was very clean and she made you feel welcomed.

A very nice cozy and comfy room. Bathroom was very clean, with a towel provided. Appreciated the use of the kitchen. Very close to downtown Silver Spring. Bernice is a friendly and responsive host!

The place was in a lovely little neighborhood convenient to Rockville Pke. Liliana met me when I arrived in the evening, showed me around, and made sure I had her number if anything came up. Nothing did, I didn't see her very much, but she was so friendly, I certainly felt like could contact her with any needs or questions. The place had every appliance I could ask for and more (I've never seen such a tiny dishwasher!) - small kitchen and bathroom, roomy bedroom, comfortable den area - perfect for me. I would happily stay there again!

A beautiful apartment clean and well located, just minutes from the metro station of the red line. The apartment is in a wooded area. Liliana provides lots of extras in the kitchen (coffee, jam, etc ...) and in the bathroom. I will definitely return.

Amazing, patient and understanding hosts. Had no issues and would love to stay here again. Highly recommended! Thank you!

Liliana and Miguel were very welcoming and helpful. We drove down and Liliana provided us with very easy instructions so we could arrive at any time. There was plenty of street parking right next to the house throughout the duration of our stay. The apartment was the perfect size for two people and had anything that we needed (basic kitchen supplies, towels, etc). The kitchen contained a two burner stove top, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and electric kettle. Liliana was good about checking in to see how we were doing and always took care of issues right away. For example, when we realized that the can opener that they had supplied was not working, she let us borrow theirs and replaced the broken one in no time. The house is located in a very pretty, quiet and safe neighborhood. There are plenty of stores and restaurants within a very close drive (and one restaurant just around the corner within walking distance!). The nearest metro stop (Grosvenor-Strathmore) is also a very short drive and about a 20-25 minute walk away. There is a parking garage right at the station that charges $5.10 a day. I was working at the NIH, which is only one stop away on the metro, so the commute in was very easy. Overall our stay was very pleasant and enjoyable and was perfect for a two week stay. Liliana and Miguel were so nice and friendly and we only wish that we had not been so busy with work that we could have chatted with them more. Thanks so much for providing us with a great place to stay!

Clean and comfy. The host made me feel right at home. I love the neighborhood. Very charming with lots of huge trees. Everything went perfectly. I would definitely stay here again.

This apartment is all above ground with its own entrance at the back of the home. Liliana is a thoughtful hostess. The space is comfy and was nice and warm even in February! We stayed for four weeks and even were able to extend our stay another week. This apartment is within a short walking distance to a MARC train stop and also a great little restaurant located in an older house above the town's post office. Very charming neighborhood!

This place was great. It is in a very nice, residential, tree-lined, and easily accessible area of Bethesda. Rock Creek park trail is a 5min walk away, as is a really nice neighborhood restaurant (Blacks Market). Plenty of parking on quiet residential street. The place is cozy, clean, and well stocked. Has everything you would need including washer/dryer, towels, linens, etc. Own private entrance. Liliana was very nice. Easy to communicate with. We were able to check in/out after hours no problem. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Liliana and Miguel were very sweet and wanted to be sure that I had a pleasant stay at their apartment. It was nice to have my own space. The apartment is the perfect size for one or two people. The bedroom is a nice size with a large closet and the living room kitchen combo is set up very efficiently. They were even kind enough to leave me a little snack in the refrigerator. The neighborhood is quiet and cute. There is plenty of parking or you're steps away from the MARC train. The Metro station is walkable or there is also a bus to the Metro if you'd rather not walk. Overall, very nice place, I'd definitely stay here again.
