  It was perfect. The only problem that we had was operating the TV.

  Hi James! I’m so sorry you didn’t figure out the TV! I will try to write down some sort of guidelines because we do have Fios with cable channels plus access to all the streaming channels! I find when I’m there I just keep pressing buttons till I find what I want, but I will try and make it clearer for your next stay! Thank you for your feedback, Miranda

• Lovely Stay in Forest Glen

  5/5

  We had a great week in Forest Glen visiting family and exploring DC. The house was a perfect size for our family.

  The massage chair in the family room is a great addition, and was welcoming after long days of walking.

  The proximity to the metro was nice. We drove our car to the park in ride almost every day and only drove into the city once.

  We were able to host my husband’s parents twice for nice family dinners and the kitchen is well stocked.

  Overall we had a wonderful experience. Miranda was an attentive and gracious host, every time I had a question.

• Forest Glen

  4/5

  We really enjoyed learning about the area of Forest Glen. The house itself was nice. The kitchen had everything we needed. We really appreciated the Starbucks coffee! The water was nice and hot and the water pressure was amazing. We enjoyed looking through the booksThe check in/out process was seamless. One strong recommendation I have is the mattresses and pillows in all three bedrooms need to be replaced. They were not comfortable for any of us Thank you :-)

  From the owner:
  "Hi Pattie, we're so happy you enjoyed the history of the neighborhood during your stay. However, we’re sorry to hear the mattresses and pillows didn’t meet your expectations. We understand that sleep comfort is highly personal, and we personally prefer firmer mattresses. We truly want every guest to be comfortable, so if you choose to stay with us again, we’d be more than happy to provide mattress toppers upon request to help improve your experience. 
  Thank you again for your helpful feedback; it’s always appreciated."

• Super dusty

  2/5

  There's some false advertising - the futon is unusable, disgustingly dusty. Otherwise: The kitchen and three bathrooms are pristine and nicely redone, the a/c works. Sheets and towels are clean and beds comfortable. The rest of the house has old furniture hidden by slipcovers, dusty and rugs that are dirty. The house is close to the highway and you can smell and hear it loudly outside and patio furniture is not appealing. Yuck I was glad to leave.Longer story: The property is advertised as having a useable futon, so I messaged the manager as soon as I booked the property asking for it to be made up. When we arrived it was not made up, and when unfolded the futon, a cloud of dust rose up from it. I gave it a pat and wow, dust. The floor behind the futon dusty with chips of paint from the baseboard. It had original baseboards so I wondered about lead paint chips and dust. The rug under the futon was yuck. There was a beat up dirty vacuum in the kitchen closet that I took upstairs to vacuum the futon and the area around it. When I was done my clothes, hands and hair were covered in dirt. The vacuum had no carpet or floor attachment, only the small attachment for furniture, so I don't know how they're cleaning the rugs. There were no pillows, blankets or sheets for the futon so I messaged the manager, and two maids came and made up the futon. We were only there only two nights so I let my teen sleep there but yuck, all our clothes went straight into the washing machine. Gross.

  Hi Jill, thank you for your feedback. The room in question is not advertised as a bedroom, and we're sorry to hear that you were disappointed and felt the home did not meet your expectations. In an effort to address your concerns, we provided new pillows for that space—even though it is not designated as a bedroom—in hopes of enhancing your experience. We strive to maintain transparency in our listing details and will be removing the futon from the listing to avoid any future misunderstandings. We’re committed to excellent guest experiences, as reflected in the consistent positive feedback we receive.
