About this property
Large studio close to metro in Eckington/Shaw
This private Studio apt is located in the heart of DC, close to everything DC has to offer, we are short 7-10min walk to the metro station and a 5min walk to over 10 restaurants within the area. It's a great spot for someone who just wants to enjoy the city for a few days. The unit is very warm and cozy and has a great gem of an outdoor space for enjoying the sites and sounds of the city. There is only street parking, however, you can park on either side of the street without restriction. The unit has a half kitchen, no stove but has a microwave and toaster oven for use. It has one full bath with a shower. Just 4 blocks from the Shaw/Howard U. Metro, this modern English basement apt., with high ceilings is a walkable spot to a gourmet grocery store, bars, restaurants, the Convention Center, and Chinatown. The home has exposed brick, just 5 metro stops to the White House, the Mall, and museums. The Shaw neighborhood is vibrant, constantly changing, and full of diversity and young people. 15 mins to Washington Hospital Center, Howard University Hospital, Children's Hospital, and VA Hospital Center. A great value with an experienced & DC-licensed host! I try to say hello at least once during the visit. In general, I give guests privacy unless there is a question. SLEEPS A MAXIMUM OF 2 ADULTS. Please feel free to ask questions.

The property was clean and comfortable. We felt very safe in the area. Check in and check out were extremely easy.
The host was always available if we needed him but luckily we had no issues. Would definitely stay again.
The studio was very clean and quiet. Just the right size for our short trip to DC.

The room is cold. When it’s 30 degree outside, the host asked me to rely on the space heater, instead of turning on the heat. He did turn on the heat after I reminded him of his legal obligation to do so. Please do not try those snacks, all of which expired.

Hi Lena: You arrived at my unit on March 11th when the local temperature was 84 degrees. Your second day the temperature was 85 degrees. Both days set a record for the DC, Maryland and Virginia area. However, as you requested I gave you an extra blanket in addition to the Down comforter that was on the bed. Granted, the following day there was a huge temperature shift to 36 degrees, and we had a dusting of snow. During your stay, when the temps fell, and as you communicated in our exchanges, the house heating had kicked on. Additionally, I provided a space heater, and you did use it because you said it got too hot. If you weren't familiar with how to operate a Space Heater, you should have asked, just the way you asked me: "How to turn on the Iron to press your clothing." Pardon me for assuming that my guest would know how to turn on an iron and how to adjust the temperature on a heater. You stated that after you turned off the heater because it was too hot, it got so cold that you were freezing, which is ridiculous! How could it have been 30 inside the house when it wasn't even as cold outside? I wish you had accurately described your stay in my unit and not falsified the conditions. OH, and I went through all the snacks, and YES 2 packages of the Goldfish had expired, which I tossed. If there was truly something that you didn't like about your stay, you could have told me. We also shared many text messages so you had ample opportunity to say something. Your false comments can be harmful and in the future I hope you will assess your language before posting a review. Bad reviews can be the detriment of a small business. You be well and Happy Traveling !!!
Great location, close to everything. There's a lovely farmers market down the street on Sundays. The unit is well maintained and well stocked. The owner, Roydell is awesome and very helpful. I would definitely stay there again and recommend to my friends traveling in the area. Thank you Roydell!!
For never had been to DC before, I have to say we hit the jackpot with this VRBO. Located perfectly out of the way of the hustle of the city but close enough to Uber or rent a car to enjoy what the city has to offer.
Clean, spacious apartment within walking distance to restaurants and 20 minutes to all the sites. Owner was fantastic host! Would definitely recommend!
Great place to stay. Extremely clean, the host was friendly and accommodating , we were allowed to drop our luggage off early which was a plus. It was a little distance to the National Mall and museums but the metro busses were within a short walking distance. We would stay here again.
This property is perfect. This place is in a nice quiet area and is pretty close to anything you’d want/need. Roydell is awesome and I would absolutely book this place again!!
The place was as advertised, and it wasn’t hard to find. Roydell greeted me on my first day and made sure I was settling in nicely. Would definitely stay again!
