Great value and location
Great value for such an expensive city. Comfy bed, good water pressure and heat. Location is excellent. Entry through alleyway is a little sketchy if you enter from the opposite end (the one furthest from the street) but if you enter from the closer side you're fine. DC can be sketchy like that, but we didn't experience anything dangerous when approaching from the shorter side. I would stay here again.

Great, Clean VRBO
The Stay was wonderful, as stated by others, the ally and some of the walk if you get off on the wrong side of the metro station can be a bit sketchy at night (get off towards the elevator, not towards the monument then you are basically right there), but once we entered in the back yard, the space was beautiful and clean! Would stay again.

Rats, addicts, crime and more…
If you enjoy rats, rat droppings, dark alleys with addicts in need of emergency services, and an area with crime so out of control that police have instituted a mandatory curfew – then this property is right for you. The entrance to the property is literally in a dangerous alley with all of the aforementioned issues visible on any given day at any time of the day. I have never stayed somewhere so dangerous and sketchy – and I genuinely believe that this property should not be allowed to host guests. The alley entrance and the situation in that alley (rats, rat feces, literal crackheads, emergency responders dealing with addicts, etc) are what makes this property particularly problematic.
The front of the property doesn’t allow for guests to enter, and the main street is not much better. There were at least five vehicle break-ins outside the house while I stayed at this property. The area in general has so much crime that it is, at the time of this writing, under mandatory police curfew -- just search for "DC U Street curfew".
My stay was for seven nights, and I would never advise anyone at all -- much less solo travellers (particularly women) to stay at this property. On the plus side, the host is very responsive and the modest studio was fine on the inside. But, the surroundings are so troubling that I cannot in good conscience fail to share these important details with other potential guests.

Clean, cozy, and convenient.
This small space lives big. A very workable kitchen has been cleverly tucked into a studio apartment. Close to a Metro stop it’s walkable to many good restaurants and Trader Joe’s. The owner’s printed sign in the bathroom prohibiting the flushing of toilet paper is our only hesitation to giving this a 5 star review. A small wastebasket was provided. Hopefully this plumbing situation is only temporary. We asked for clarification with the owner and she said indeed no toilet paper could be flushed. This should be spelled out on the listing.

Great stay
Excellent stay in this basement studio. We were able to get street parking, and the host put a temporary permit on the dashboard of our car (with our permission of course) which made things a lot easier for us. Bed was comfy and we had everything we needed for our stay in DC. Wish we could have met her, next time…

Great space in a great neighborhood
This was a perfect space for a long weekend in DC. You can’t beat the location for the shopping, restaurants and ambiance. This is a very walkable neighborhood and the metro is close by to get anywhere you like.
I found this space to be quiet, safe, clean and full of amenities. The owner was quick to respond to messages and offered a perfect stay. I most definitely would stay here again.

Amazing location, comfy stay
Couldn’t ask for more with the location. We came for a concert that got canceled. As such, we ended up staying in and ordering a lot of door dash! My main complain was having to walk to the front of the house (around the block) to pick up my door dash orders. Obviously no fault of the owners of the house 😺Bed was comfy, towels were clean and thick, everything was very nice.

Great location
The one-room apartment is big and in the basement (this is why I only gave three stars), so nice and cool especially in the summer. Windows are small, but everything tidy, clean and new. The location is really good, in a quiet street but right in the middle of the U-Street area with good restaurants, trendy bars, and a Jazz Bar. Also, the subway is literally at the corner. The owner is super-friendly and very reactive and flexible, if you have any needs.

Great location and great hostess
Tricia was a great hostess. We were close to a metro station and in a nice neighborhood with little street noise. The king size bed was very comfortable. Everything was clean. My son said "this is the best couch I've ever slept on." Tricia had a bottle of wine waiting for us and was able to accommodate our need for an earlier check in. Her restaurant suggestions were terrific. We loved Matchbox so much, we ate there twice. If we are back in DC, we would stay here again.
We stayed in early April.
If there are more than 2 people (and a child), it would be cramped, but for the 3 of us, it was perfect.

Basement apartment with light from window and door - cool in the hot days of DC. All amenities. table to sit and work - no desk - lighting good, refrigerator works, great shower. Quiet neighborhood. Nice bars and eating establishments around the corner. Access to metro a bit difficult this summer, but par for the rest of DC. Never needed to contact owner - nice bottle of wine provided.

Very nice and helpful owner. Good, safe location with many restaurant options.
This Cardoza/Shaw neighborhood property is not large but was perfectly comfortable for me , my wife and my daughter. This neighborhood is a little over a mile north of the White House so walkable if you chose. Or an inexpensive Uber ride to about any site of interest you might want to venture to while in D.C. Having a Trader Joe's, Starbucks (as well as Dunkin Donuts) in close proximity were added bonuses.
Enjoyed meeting and talking with the owner who was very accommodating and responsive when looking for suggestions for dining, etc.
