Very good

We just got back from DC, and had a great stay at this house! It was very convenient to everthing DC has to offer. If you are a runner, walker or cyclist, you will love this location. It is two blocks away from a paved path down by the river. You can watch the boats and college rowing teams while you run. Anacostia has changed a lot since I lived in DC many years ago, and it is great to see such a vibrant neighborhood. W
Wonderful home. You won't have any problems with staying here for a few nights. Location is a short drive to DC and to other attractions. The only advice I would suggest to the owners is the TV situation. The main living room TV was working fine, but one room upstairs had no TV, one had no media device at all, and the basement TV had no controller. Electronic fireplace controller batteries were dead and there was a laser pointer on the living room table as well. Also, the pots and pans could use an upgrade. Other than that, 4 out of 5 for me.
The house was fine and had some great upgrades but I have to agree with the previous review about the TV ‘sOnly the living room and one smaller bedroom had working TV’s .One of them in the middle bedroom had nothing but snow. The host advised me that they don’t provide streaming services. However nothing at all was on the screen when powered on ….and the basement had no working remotes. The fireplace still wasn’t working.So these problems have not been corrected since the last reviewer was there.Overall, the house was large enough for our family to enjoy some time together and were comfortable
Pros: - off-street parking for 2 vehicles - 3 1/2 bathrooms - 3 bedrooms upstairs - basement apartment with additional sleeping area - laundry on-site - steps away from bus stop - easy to get to Metro station - Metro system in DC is excellent!Cons: - burnt out lightbulbs - some kitchen pans needed to be replaced - some kitchen pans were not clean - water and dead bugs in tea kettle - no bathroom hand towels or anywhere to hang one - door knob issues with a bedroom and bathroom - some interior spaces were quite tight, i.e. 1/2 bath on main floor and upstairs bedroom with en suite bathroom
We loved our stay at Emerald Escape Hilltop Home! The home has 3 levels and looks just like the pictures. It is adorable! It was only my husband and I who stayed, but it would be perfect for a large family. The common area is on the 2nd floor and includes the living room, full kitchen, dining room, half bath, and laundry. The bedrooms and additional full baths are on the 3rd level. The basement is on level 1 and has a bed, kitchenette, sink, fridge, microwave, and oven. We spent most of our time in the basement because we had our dog with us and it was convenient to go in and out to the back yard from the basement. The yard is fenced in the front and back. We loved that it had a parking space secured in the back yard. You enter from the ally and open the garage door to the back yard. Parking is insane in DC so this was a huge perk for us. We parked our car and didn’t take it out until we left to go home. We called Uber to take us into the city each day. We never paid more than 15-20 each way and the drivers were all quick to arrive and knowledgeable of the area. With traffic, Ubering to Capitol Hill and the major sites took about 15 minutes. We even took an Uber to Mount Vernon which was about a 35 minute drive. The cost for that Uber was 25. The home was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had the pleasure of meeting the next door neighbors and they were very nice. The hosts were top notch and checked on us via text during our stay. I definitely recommend this house.
First of all, the owners/representatives were awesome and quick to answer my numerous questions which made this stay easy and painless!!I want to make sure to say how beautifully decorated, homey and clean this place was from the moment we walked in the door. That being said, my brother & SIL arrived in the evening and were concerned by the neighborhood being "rough". It was a Thursday evening, around 5pm and there was alot of loud, foot traffic in the middle of the road and lights & sirens...all the scary stuff when you are new to a neighborhood. But in the light of the morning, my husband and brother sat on the front porch and chatted with the neighbors. Beautiful, wonderful, friendly people!! The initial concerns were so wrong!! During the time we were there, we enjoyed not just the interior but the neighborhood and neighbors at the property. The rooms were all exactly as shown. The beds were SO COMFORTABLE and the pillows were amazing!! (We all want those mattresses and pillows! Lol) The bathrooms were all well stocked, even with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The kitchen was also well stocked. There are air conditioner units in each room which was wonderful because we slept wonderfully. The air conditioner in the living area worked great and kept us cool. I can't say enough about how wonderful this place was to stay and we'd love to stay again in the future!! If you are interested then make sure to ask all the questions because the owners will respond!

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Disappointing
The photos are lovely, but do not reflect the home. There were many cosmetic and functionality differences that I won't list here in entirety. As a representative example, what was represented as a television was actually a computer monitor, so not usable as represented. Most important feedback were the multiple safety issues: 1 of the dining room table legs was not connected to the tabletop and others were poorly or improperly connected. One bathroom and one bedroom did not have functioning doorknobs (one did not have a handle, the other fell out when touched, including when the door was closed and latched, trapping the user inside). The door to the downstairs living space did not close and the knob/lock was installed wrong so could not be safely fastened. There are other issues but the biggest to my mind was getting a message from the host that a member of her team entered the locked space without notifying us, reaching out only after they had left. It was alarming enough that we chose to leave early. Please note this is not a comprehensive list of issues, just the most concerning. Of note, the host did respond to my messages. I sent messages about all of these issues and described how we temporarily remediated the issues. Before staying here, I'd want to know all the issues were safely addressed.
The house was beautiful very very nicely decorated.The rooms were comfortable. The location was perfect to where we needed to go during our stay. The owners responded immediately to any concerns that we had. It was a pleasurable experience.
