Beautiful property, fantastic location
This is a beautiful VRBO and I can highly recommend it. The location is perfect. We walked to the Mall on two separate mornings and also through Georgetown. Very easy to get Ubers to Adams Morgan, home from dinners, etc. The VRBO is well stocked with coffee and snacks and toiletries and the hosts are very responsive and friendly.

Beautiful property, great hosts
I booked this on behalf of my parents + aunts who travelled in from S Korea. The property was so spacious and they loved the decoration. Anand and Lisa were very communicative throughout and even met my parents out front to walk them through rverything when they first arrived. My family enjoyed the location and ability to walk and get around without a car. They would definitely stay here again if they visited DC in the future.

Terrific Location
This property is in a terrific location near the National Mall and Foggy Bottom Metro Station. Townhome was great for our larger group (4 adults and 4 children) with a mix of sophistication and practicality. We loved it. The hosts were easy to work with and accommodating. We had a problem with Delta and had to arrive late. After the national flight problems they communicated with us directly and made every change possible. Many thanks to Anand.

City living at its finest!
Three generations stayed for a quick trip to the big city and we all loved this VRBO. Not only is it conveniently located to catch the bus and subway, but it’s also impeccably appointed and beautifully decorated. The host was so kind and gave us wonderful recommendations for restaurants. We would all highly recommend this VRBO to our most discerning friends and family.

Perfect location between Georgetown & US Capital area
Our family had a lovely time Fathers Day long weekend. The location was walking distance to the metro and free street parking for those who drove. Plenty of room and privacy for my husband and I, our 3 adult children and their significant others. The hosts even provided snacks, muffins, and gourmet coffee. My son arrived before checkin hours and they personally met him so he could leave his luggage. Had a wheelchair available for visitors if needed. Recommended restaurants and could not have been more helpful or available if we needed anything. We will definitely stay here again if our family comes back to DC.

Wonderful property and hosts
The property was beautiful, comfortable and clean! Location was great, 10 min walk to the White House and so many great restaurants. We were a group of 6….5 adults and one teen, and we fit comfortably in the house. Anand and Lisa are wonderful hosts, so gracious and welcoming, they even changed the sheets for us after a minor medical issue. Highly recommend this property!

This was one of our very best VRBO experiences! Great location for walking, access to public transportation and dining. Friendly, warm hosts who took care of us, anticipated needs and communicated well. The apartment was spotlessly clean and as described. This place is a gem.

Perfect location
This was the perfect location for our family of 6. Within 1-2 blocks from the metro, grocery store, pharmacy, 25 minutes walk to the White House, approx. 1 mile to the National Mall. Owners thought of everything we might need during our stay and we really appreciated not asking for a long list of chores prior to check out. Owners were very responsive. Overall great place to stay and I would definitely recommend it.

The Best VRBO on Earth!
Wow! I cannot convey how wonderful of a find this property is. We've stayed in nice rentals before, but none with as much thoughtfulness nor as many comforts as this one. Anand and Lisa really know how to make a house a home and are responsive, attentive and kind owners. The location is top tier, near shops, restaurants and the sights of DC. I give this property 10 stars and highly recommend it. No complaints and no notes 👌

Great stay in West End!
Our family of 7 had a great time staying at The Frosted Castle. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with, both before our stay as well as during our stay. A minor A/C issue was quickly fixed and the owner assisted us with parking tips for our rental car. We felt comfortable and safe at the property and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Family Get together at DC
This was our first family trip with our granddaughter of 16 months. The property was perfect for 5 adults and one infant. Everyone had their own space even the baby. The weather was rainy so we cooked dinner in the house almost every night. The kitchen was well equipped and the pantry was fully stocked. It is an ideal location and Anand and Lisa couldn’t have been more helpful. We highly recommend this property and hope we will be able to return in the near future.

Unexpected Find and Most Wonderful Stay
I highly recommend this lodging! Was headed on a work trip to DC last minute and had to find lodging for 4 of us. All hotels were booked & decided to look on Vrbo & came across this historic home. The place is beautiful and immaculate. We were all so taken with it. We were comfortable in our own room with a good amount of privacy. The 4 bedrooms are a good size as are the 2 bathrooms. The decor is modern & beautiful. Anand made himself available and couldnt be more accommodating as a host. There is not a negative thing I could say. I highly recommend this beautiful & historic home for a group of friends or a family stay.
