This was a fantastic Washington DC experience, a luxe property at an unbelievable price that really can't be beat - beautiful home, lots of natural light, wonderful and huge rear yard with lots of sunny patio seating in a very ritzy area. Archie is a consummate host, made me feel incredibly welcome and took great care to create a five-star experience. It's apparently her own art covering all the walls of the house, she maintains a very comforting atmosphere and it's evident she really cares a lot about her guests. The neighborhood is top-notch, right by the Potomac River, with hiking, dining, and basic necessities just down the block. Very quick ride into the middle of downtown DC without any of the noise or bustle day-to-day. A beautiful property and a great host. Can't recommend it enough for anyone who wants to check out DC and experience everything about the area while enjoying the luxurious comforts of a beautiful, warm, welcoming home. I loved it!

A very nice woman with a lovely home. She was flexible with check in and out time. The room was exactly like the description. Very nice that you get a private bathroom with towels provided. Plenty to order from around the area for a relaxing night in.

It was great to stay at her house. She was an excellent host. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good location and quiet place.

Very pleasant! Archie and her husband were very warm and kind, I enjoyed staying in their lovely home! Esther

Archie was delightful. The home is lovely, in a quiet neighborhood...I felt welcome and comfortable. Perhaps there are two things to be aware of: there might be a road-traffic bottleneck getting into the city during rush hour... and there is a house rule about keeping the bedroom door always open when no one is there, and the room must be neat. Neither aspect was a problem for me, however.

It's off the beaten path but I had no trouble getting there with Uber. Archie's a wonderful, seasoned host and is very helpful. The room is in a large house and is private with its own bathroom and a very comfortable futon bed (best for people under 74" tall). The room has huge windows that look out on a private backyard.

Archie is the perfect Host! Her home is very warm and Archie is considerite and kind.

Comfortable home with beautiful decor. Archie was friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to others.

This was undoubtedly the best mini-vacation I have ever experienced! Ron ad Carole are the most gracious hosts who have mastered the art of providing their guests with not only extremely exquisite lodging accommodations but also valued privacy. Although the photos are exceptionally gorgeous, they actually fail to fully capture the beauty of their home. It is readily apparent from the moment you enter that this is a HOME and not merely a house. Time, dedication, and love has been allocated to decoration and lighting which gives the entire home an ambience of absolute tranquility and comfort. Ron and Carole provided myself and my friend with privacy when needed (without having to ask) and engaging conversations. We were both immensely impressed with Carole's knowledge of and passion for the D.C. area. I wholeheartedly encourage guests to embark on the D.C. night tour. It is truly worth more than the mere $20 cost. Ron has such a charming personality. Within five minutes of meeting him, I told him far more information than I typically do when I initially meet someone. Their patio is the ideal location for a semi-private retreat to enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine while relaxing from a day of touring and shopping. Additionally, it is also perfect for a romantic dinner date - Carole allows guests to use her many electronic candles & it definitely assists in creating a romantic aura! The many amenities, spaciousness, graciousness of the hosts, as well as the pricing make this location a true gem. Whenever I visit Maryland or the surrounding area again, I will definitely book with Ron and Carole again.

Pretty much the best place to stay for under $100 near the Washington, D.C. area. I felt like I was staying at a hotel! The room looks exactly as pictured. Ron and Carol were the most gracious hosts and gave us a tour of the house, made sure we knew how to get around the area, and that we were supplied with more than enough hangers and towels. The Whelan's place were impeccably clean, their shower had multiple shower heads that varied in pressure and temperature, and they have a TOWEL WARMER (most hotels don’t even have that luxury!). The neighbourhood was private, quiet, and easy to access by car and metro. Ron made sure there was always coffee available – if you had time like I wish I did, you should enjoy the coffee in their great outdoor space more!

Very nice hosts. Perfect room and bathroom in top condition. I can recommand it to any Washington Visitor.

My boyfriend and I stayed with Ron and Carole for a weekend and they were amazing! Despite that we hit some bad traffic on the way there they were extremely accommodating and welcoming. The room was as described; clean, tidy, and just the right size. If I were to visit dc again I would absolutely stay with Ron and Carole again!

Ron and Carole were exceptionally pleasant, accommodating and went out of their way to help out wherever possible. Their knowledge of the area, history, what to see and how to get around (the metro etc) was invaluable and greatly appreciated. The room was beautifully presented, the bathroom was exquisite and their whole home was clean and a pleasure to be in.

We have tremendously enjoyed our stay and couldn't stop admiring the beautiful house, which is conveniently located nearby the beltway, surrounded by nature, and tastefully decorated by Carol and Ron!

Hello everybody! Before I'm going to start to make my evaluation I want to tell you that this was our best stay during a RBNB trip ever!!! Of course, if you want to spend classical holidays by the sea or on the beach, you have to keep in mind that Washington is rather a city of museums, cultural events and historical buildings. But after all, there was (and also today is) no other place where the american mentality has enough oportunity to grow and show its presence anywhere. In combination with the incridible nice and helpful hosts, our 10 day trip was a wonderful variety between efficient sightseeing and relaxing activities (including spending much time at Starbucks..) So, after this little introduction, I'm going to start with the house and the accomondation. Ron and Carl live in a typical american house near Washington. We were absolutely suprised that both had nothing in mind against any usage of their rooms (think about your experience with RBNB hosts at all..) , especially their excellent equiped kitchen (with their incridible refrigerator: double doored, water dispenser, crushed and cubed ice..). The living room was so nicely furnished and comfortable and we were also allowed to use the TV in there. Our rooms were realy clean (two maids came there every other week and cleaned the rooms and the bath) and also well furnished. Generelly, the rooms showed off a warm atmosphere and a feeling for beeing welcome which accompanied us and all conversations with Ron and Carol the whole time. But back to the rooms: There were no suprises; we can tell you that the pictures on RBNB all almost very authentic. Concerning the surounding, Ron and Carol live in an area, which is 15 mins away from the next Metro station, which was no problem at all because they always agreed to bring us there and they also picked us up after our stay in the city (there is always free WIFI in all museums, etc. so you are able to arrange a meeting time) ; and in most cases, they even joint us. Also shopping was not a big deal: the next supermarket was 5 mins by car. And last but not least we want to again thank Ron and Carol for their accomodating and incompliant nature and help! Wer wouldn't able to make the most of our activities without your information, for example, to avoid the high prices for the Metro tickets or your willigness to make reservations for the museums or the guides in Mount Vernon. When you are willing to visit Washington D.C., you have to stay with the Whelans! Benedict and Nora

Unfortunately, I became ill and was not able to stay at Ron's lovely home. However, my travel companion did and raved about the comfort of the room and he loved the shower! As a matter of fact, he extended his stay! He said it was all that it is described and more. They were fabulous hosts and and my friend was thrilled I had chosen so well! We will be returning to the area next year and are hoping to stay there again, Ron was available and easy to contact when my plans had changed so quickly and it was so kind of him to express his concern for me. Again, many thanks!!

Henry was a great host very caring and accommodating, he offered blankets and gave a good overview of the house. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others. The bus takes you into town, or you can catch a bus to Bethesda station which takes about 20 minutes from the house, from there you can catch a train into dc and explore. I came from London and after about 8 days I felt comfortable to walk and manoeuvre my way around the county and parts of the city. The house is very clean, the shared living area is very spacious. Even the room is large to an extent, it has a decent sized closet and the bed could contain my 6'3 legs so no complaints from me. Had a great experience!

Very good host.

Great and affordable stay.

Great location, convenient to nearby highways and strip malls. Inessa & Alex are great hosts and very flexible. Highly recommend.

Kowsar and Fuad are fantastic hosts, easy to communicate and super supportive. Thanks again for that amazing evening with all the stories you had to tell. The apartment is simply amazing. Large, very clean, with nice furniture and a brand new kitchen including nice island. The bedroom with queen is super comfortable and it has attached walk-in closet and ensuite batch. It has a private entry and the neighborhood is friendl, quiet and embedded into lots of greens and trees. I-270 and malls are within 7min reach by car (car is highly recommended). If I come back to DC, I will stay here again. Kowar, Fuad - you are the best!

Large space, easy for five adults to share.

Kowsar and Fuad were very accommodating and welcoming. Their place is beautiful and in a great location with access to all the things we wanted to do in the DC area.

Great place to stay. Just 5min to I270 and shopping areas. Kowsar us a fantastic host and takes care of everything.

Very positive experience. Kowsar and her husband were warm and gracious hosts inviting us to share cocktails, coffee, and meals. Their international careers provided the background for interesting conversation. The ground floor apartment is airy and spacious in an upscale established neighborhood. We particularly liked their evolving landscape, with woods and creek behind.

Great place Highly recommend it

Nice quiet place, safe neighborhood and worked well for our family for an overnight.

Kowsar made us feel very comfortable...she even greeted us with delicious drinks! Her home was immaculate and well appointed.

Alex is a gracious + accommodating host. The space was very clean and bright with private access to outdoor space. Would recommend to friends and stay here again.

Alex is a very generous and attentive host. I really enjoyed my stay at his place. He and his wife offered me a ride to the metro station every morning. I highly recommend booking their place.

Alex is a wonderful host. He is very thoughtful and considerate. I felt right at home.

Alex's house is beautiful, big room, private bathroom, in a quiet and green neighborhood. Alex and his wife were very warm and welcoming, and were very helpful in explaining how to go to D.C., where the supermarket was, what things we could do etcetera. They even provided some breakfast and an umbrella since we had bad weather while staying there. The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood, however this also means that it takes a while to get into the city. We took an Uber to the nearest metro station (about 10mins by car) and from there it was about 25 mins into the city. It was perfectly doable though and we didn't mind that much. Conclusion: great place to stay in DC!

Great place. Quite and comfortable. Close to bus that will take you to metro and nearby plaza.

Perfect stay if you have a car and want to be close to the city for work or travel! Alex is very accommodating.

Alex is an attentive and caring host

El alojamiento de Alex está muy bien ubicado, es comfortable y funcional. Alex es muy hospitalario y amable.

Stayed for the weekend, only a 10 min drive to the metro. The rooms were very clean and the host was easy to get ahold of.

Very welcoming host and comfortable accomodations, highly recommend!

Fang is incredibly responsive to messages, very prompt and informative. Fang was not at the house as she was in NYC at school. I was unable to meet her however Fang's parents were there to greet me. Unfortunately during my stay I was very unwell, of which Fang's mother showed great concern and was very comforting - offered to make me dinner and provide me with water. The house is very clean and within a beautiful neighbourhood. It was a short Uber ride to a local mall which had a cinema and restaurants. I had to shorten my stay as a friend of mine is in hospital, so I have had to relocate to a place which is closer which will enable me to help. Fang was very accomodating and understanding. There were fresh towels, toiletries and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. The laundry facilities were perfect and easy to use. The internet connection was amazing and I did not have any problems, it was very fast! Happy travels and happy hosting!

Everything about this stay was perfect. A beautiful house, very clean, warm and spacious. The room is huge and cozy. The bathroom is just across the room and we were provided with everything one could think of, from shampoo, towels to hairdryer. Fang was very responsive and helpful, however she was away in NY. We only met with her mom and dad, who are also super nice. They made it felt like a home away from home. So far, this is my best Airbnb experience. Highly recommend!

This room is in a lovely house located in North Potomac, one of the best neighbour in this area. The house is surrounded by well decorated green fields. Fang's mother is very kind and helpful. She even provide us with an extra room. Would definitely consider again.

The host was very flexible even with a very late check-in. They are very friendly.

I stayed over the weekend and the place was great. Fang and her family was very accommodating. I had the living room to myself. Will definitely consider again.

The rooms were nice and spacious Unfortunately direct personal communication with the moher of the host, who was not available, was almost imposdible. No TV in any of the accessible rooms was negativ WiFi was not reliable Location was nice

This is a spectacular cabin over looking a small stream. We saw deer, an owl and plenty of birds. It was such a peaceful, beautiful respite in the middle of the city. Who knew!? The cabin is well-appointed and very well done. Judy was a pleasure to work with.

Great place for two or more in family for weekend near D.C. And all its amenities. Strongly recommend

Our stay was great! Lydia was a warm and gracious host, she was easy to communicate with and the apartment was clean and lovely. We would be happy to stay with Lydia again. Thanks for hosting us!

Our stay at Lydia's place was fantastic! It is a welcoming and spacious place to stay. She and her husband Edwin welcomed us upon arrival, and showed us the space. She made sure we had everything we needed and was available if needed by text. Other than that, we only bumped into them twice during our 5 night stay. Everything in the description is accurate. The neighborhood is very quiet & safe and there was always plenty of street parking in a lovely suburban area with a small town feel. Coming from a big city we found it refreshing and lovely. It is about 25 min. outside DC, but close enough to be convenient and a quick trip into the city or a jaunt over to Baltimore in about an hour with a car. The walk from the driveway to the backyard is a bit steep on a bricked path, which may be an issue for some with physical issues, or in icy weather, but we had a mix of sun and rain and were fine. The apt is a finished basement in their home so you will hear footsteps above, and we only heard their dog bark twice and not for long. It was not a problem for us at all. They have a no-shoe policy in the apt. to help keep things clean, which really helps. Everything was clean, and comfortable. There is a shopping center nearby with a grocery store and a larger shopping center with large chain stores and restaurants just a bit farther- all very close. We enjoyed the convenience of having the mini fridge and mini freezer to keep food and frozen water bottles for our day-time excursions, as well as the microwave and toaster oven to heat food up. It was a perfect place for us and I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Lydia and Edwin!

Todo estuvo perfecto. Lydia y su marido muy amables y simpaticos. Estuvieron presentes todos los detalles.Realmente nos resulto muy comodo. El barrio muy lindo. Es totalmente para recomendar.Muchisimas gracias

George was very accommodating as he allowed us to check in late last minute. The space was very large and comfortable! Perfect for our quick stay. The house is located in a lovely and safe neighborhood. Highly recommend!

We spent three weeks here with two children. We all really loved having so much space. There were 4 of us, and the apartment is laid out in such a way that each of us could find a private section to read or work in. We also really enjoyed the large deck that faces trees. We saw deer, rabbits and other wildlife traipsing through the woodsy backyard day and night. George and Julie were very available when we needed to communicate but otherwise we had a great sense of peace and privacy while staying at this lovely Potomac house. While not near downtown, the large house is easily accessible by car. It is located in the nicest and most beautiful of DC's suburbs, Potomac, Maryland. a very safe and quiet area. Great for families or business trips. A great place to get work done in a beautiful and peaceful setting, but with plenty of space and a kitchenette for families. highly recommended.

Three members of our company stayed at George's home while visiting Potomac for a conference. We loved the relaxing stream and seating area in the backyard. Would recommend to anyone visiting!

This was a great Airbnb for our needs - near to our daughter's house and very spacious, quiet, and comfortable. The basement apartment was conducive to our early morning departures and late evening arrivals (to sleep). Thank you.

Our stay at George and his mothers apartment was a great experience. The apartment was clean and spacious, a perfect fit for our family of five. It is situated in a beautiful and safe area and is perfect travel distance from a subway station as well as DC. Peter

George, his mom, and family were phenomenal. The master bedroom has two beds that can be combined into one super bed. Plus the home is right nearby the most AMAZING woods. Definitely recommend this place.

George and Julia are great hosts. This is a very comfortable, large and secluded apartment which is well equipped by everything for a short or long stay. This unit has a lot of light, including an open terrace. The house is surrounded by many trees, so you will feel yourself living in a forest full of birds, chipmunks and squirrels. The neighborhood is friendly, quiet and beautiful. Potomac is probably is probably on of the best suburbs in US. So I would recommend this place to anyone coming to the area for work or vacation.

Very lovely accommodations in a nice home set back in a wooded lot in an upscale safe neighborhood. Didnt meet the son George but met his lovely mom Julie. Comfy beds. Clean everything. Everything as pictured on Air BnB site. Julie even went out of her way to provide coffee and cream for our morning coffee. There are games there and after attending a family funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, playing Scrabble w/ my kids was a great way to relax. The accommodations were just perfect for us. Thank you Julie for sharing your lovely downstairs apt with us.

listing is pretty accurate. the house is located in quiet Potomac township in Maryland. exactly what I'm looking for when I stay in Maryland for vacation or business.

This was an overall great experience! We were looking for an airbnb that was close to Billy Goat Trail and the house was about 5 minutes from the toepath! The host greated us with warmth and hospitality! Would totally stay here again when visiting the DC area!

The house is in a beautiful setting with an outside deck perfect for a morning cup of coffee. An inside fireplace offers a nice way to end the day. Brad was friendly and welcoming.

Great place. Great Host. We had a great time and hope to come back soon!

Stephen and Laura's place was fabulous. A very comfortable house with a beautiful yard and patio in the back. The kitchen was spacious and made it easy to prepare meals. The bedrooms are beautiful and the beds very comfortable! I highly recommend the house...perfect for a family get together or a small group.

We had 8 members of our family staying with us and some of them were doing AirBnB for the first time and hence were skeptical. But each one of them absolutely fell in love with the house and all the arrangements that were made by our hosts to make sure we had everything we needed. We could not have asked for anything else, all the way from check-in to check-out.

Stephen was very accommodating. This place was perfect for us and he was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. This is their personal home which did not leave a ton of room for our groceries or clothes but that did not bother us. Great location too!

A large, clean, updated home. Very spacious but cozy and inviting at the same time (loved that the hosts left easy logs for us to burn in the fire place!). Very thoughtful and responsive hosts--left us food in the fridge and good directions for the house and surrounding area. The beds were very comfortable. A wonderful place for a large family or group of friends to stay!

The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Hosts left extremely clear instructions and the whole experience was a pleasure. We highly recommend staying here.

We had a great stay at Dmitry's home! The house was easy to find, and we had a smooth arrival. Dmitry was super nice and accommodating, and the room was clean and exactly as described. It was a great stay, and ideal for people looking for an alternative to staying in downtown DC. We'd definitely stay there again, if we find ourselves back in Potomac.

The host canceled this reservation 66 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Mr. Victor and his wife were very hospitable people. They made me and my friends feel at home in a foreign city. The house was very nice and spacious. It accommodated our large group so well! Mr. Victor's hospitality is much appreciated!

Very nice couple. We absolutely love them and would definitely come back.

The awesome space allowed us to include a large group of women in order to gather and prepare for the Women March on DC. Mr. Victor supplied our group with 4 very comfortable rollout beds and also allowed some of our group to use our own blow up air mattress This home is very close to the Shady Grove metro stop which was perfect for us. Mr. Victor and his Wife were very kind, accommodating and gracious. Additionally, it was nice to have full access to the kitchen and dining room for group meal preparation and dining.

Amazing house!! Perfect for our group of 6 people, it fitted everyone and the house was perfect!The house was totally gorgeous, Clean and beautiful ! The host was a gracious hostess and very responsive. , Thank you for the great time, Mr and Mrs Xie !

Home was perfect to accommodate multiple family members. Mr. Xie was easy to work with. I was allowed to arrive early to prepare the home to host Thanksgiving. Kitchen and dining area was exactly what was needed to entertain.

Victor was a great host with a beautiful home that accommodated our large party very well. He took time to show everyone the grounds and offered a fun night (complete with Karaoke!!) we'd definitely stay again and recommend this home to any large party traveling through DC.
