Perfect family vacation stay

The house was perfectly located a short walk from the metro. We easily got to all the monuments and our tours. There were plenty of seats for our group of ten to relax at night. Beds were comfortable. Extra of everything like blankets, towels and toilet paper. Would have liked the extra touch of a water jug for the kerig machine. Other than that it was perfect!

Centrally located wonderful vacation home!

We were a group of 4 families with a mix of kids ranging from 5-12yrs and adults. The Home was very clean upon arrival and well stocked with everything needed for our stay. Communicating with Trina through the App was very easy and she also provided her cellphone to contact her with any issues. The location was perfect for visiting the national mall and museums. We couldn't be happier. Would certainly recommend for a large group to family and friends.

Long Weekend Family Meetup

Good property for a long weekend meetup with family. Location was good; about a 10-15 minute walk from the Metro, grocery stores, and restaurants. Kitchen was simplistic and functional and we made do with what was available. Bedrooms were good and included necessary items. Bathrooms were also functional but only included the bare minimum such as 1 bottle of shampoo and very few towels. Laundry was available, but was communicated at check-in that it was pay-per-load which was a bit disappointing.Overall a decent VRBO that with a bit of TLC could be outstanding.

Family Visit

This is a well maintained property that is in a central location for navigating DC. The host is phenomenal and provided detailed instructions.

Memorial Day weekend

We had a great stay, it was myself and my husband plus our 3 kids (12,12,14) and it was a perfect place to stay. Everyone had their own beds and rooms, the neighborhood was quiet, we made friends with the awesome employees at the Union Market and it was a simple 10 minute walk to the metro. Highly recommend if your staying in DC with your family and you plan on exploring.

First time VRBO renter, did not disappoint.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The host was responsive and very helpful. The location is within 10-15 minutes of the Red line metro stop. There are buses that will take you to the metro if needed, but since we were going to be walking many miles each day visiting the Mall and monuments, etc. it was not a bother. The house was clean and well furnished with plenty of room for everyone to relax after a long day of walking and seeing the sights. Two of the bedrooms have bathrooms in them and there is another full bath for the other two rooms to share and a half bath. We would definitely rate this high on our list of places to stay again if it’s available the next time we visit D.C.

Great stay in Eckington

We had a wonderful visit at the large house in Eckington with our large family who gathered to greet our new family member. Trina met us there soon after our start, and was very responsive during our stay. Location was perfect for us as it was only a few short blocks to our son's house, walking distance to metro (about 10 min walk). Parking was great in the back of the house, and we used it and could fit 2 cars when needed. The house is large unique and had ample room for 10 of us. Great common areas, and bedrooms were large. It was a very hot week and the window air conditioners all worked and were adequate, but some had direct cold air onto the beds, which made for either very cold or quite warm sleeping. The only problem we had was some leaking from the plumbing. The bathroom in the upstairs hall had the faucet in the tub/shower coming out of the wall, and when using the shower it leaked into the dining area below. Trina was very responsive, but couldn't get a plumber to look at it while we were there, and so we had to be without one of the showers for half of the stay. There was also a huge storm one night with some leaking from the roof, but it was managed with a bowl, and did not leak any other time. Kitchen very well stocked for our large family, all appliances worked well. House was very clean and ready for us on arrival, and Trina was so nice to accommodate and early arrival and late departure for us. Would definitely highly recommend this house for future visits.

Do Not stay here

The pictures of the updates are old !!! The outside of the house is raggedy. Steps are old and rugged. House smells like mold and mildew upon entry. It’s a/c units in a few windows. No central system. Upstairs master room was so hot. The ac made the breaker turn off. She didn’t turn it on til the next morning after she told me she was otw ( I have the text messages and pictures ) so we were hot all afternoon and the night in the room unless we went outside. Upstairs stays hot period. Bad walls covered up with taped dry wall !!! Ac in master room has mold in it. ( pictures as well ) TVs are so small it’s ridiculous. Master shower had hair and soap scum in it. The jet tub had dead skin in the kegs and edges also ( have pictures of this too ) omg, the vanity chair had so much hair it looked as if someone just combed out their hair ) I sent her pictures of all these things and she did nothing about it. The extra long table in the kitchen ( had a runner on it ) had hair on that as well. Hair was around the toilets and tubs in the other bathroom. And in the master drain also. Stains on the towels so bad I had to order from Walmart. It was washed but didn’t come out …..So heat and hair is what we paid for this trip coming all the way from NC. Be careful on the porch. It’s the oldest wood you’ll ever see on the left edge smh. Ants stayed in a line behind the kitchen sink also. Location is ok. Decent area but it’s a reason she doesn’t post the outside pictures smh. I wish I could

Great house for family

Working with Trina was great - she was responsive and receptive to our needs. There is a bedroom on the main floor with an attached full bath that was perfect for the grandfather in our group. The upstairs had 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms to share. One of those bedrooms had enough beds for the 5 kids. There are some quirks with the older house, but it was safe and practical for our family gathering. If you have a car, be mindful of the street signs designating parking - sometimes the car needs to be moved every 2 hours - or just put it a block away and it is ok for longer stay.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Trina,
Welcome to the Heart of Eckington in DC!

I am a very easy-going person, who loves meeting new people, and would pleased to be your host.
Some of my favorite interests include traveling, dancing, and doing new home improvement projects, but most of all spending quality time with my family and friends.
I have seen my fair share of hotels and Airbnb homes throughout my travels.
As a host, I can’t wait to show you the same great hospitality that I’ve experienced across the globe.

Why they chose this property

This home is incredibly special to me. It’s my first home in DC! for over 2 decades.

Now that my children are grown and on their own, we like to share the Joy of our home with you and others that want that homey feeling, while away exploring new states and cities or even a new Country.

This home is a place for you to retreat, relax, reset and rejuvenate, to explore some more.

Thank you,
For taking the time to consider
The Heart of Eckington.
Enjoy your stay.

What makes this property unique

I love the neighborhood:
Being a resident of Eckington for over 2 decades, I have seen this neighborhood evolve from mediocre to exceptional. 
Scenically, demographically, culturally, and recreationally for the good of all.
This is a very friendly and safe neighborhood with a strong sense of community.
Within the community is the scenic Metropolitan Branch Trail, with stimulating murals to capture one’s imagination, while walking or biking, bicycle rentals are nearby.

Alethia Tanner Park, with children in mind a playground, picnic tables and green grass for movie nights on the lawn, nearby restaurants, sports facility, recreation center, swimming pool, grocery stores, strip mall, bus stops, metro stations, and more, all within walking distance. 

Eckington is central to many of downtown DC’s famous attractions, The United States Capital, The White House, to name a few, and just minutes away from Maryland and Virginia.
