About this property

Modern English basement close to Capitol bldg with free street parking

My renovated one-bedroom English basement apartment is located 2 blocks from H St NE. H Street is a vibrant area with plenty of restaurants, bars, and the free streetcar line to Union Station. Popular Union Market and La Cosecha are a short walk away and has great outdoor space with additional restaurants, bars, and shops in the area. There are also 7! grocery stores with 1 mile of my apartment if you decide to stay in and cook or just need to grab a few items.

My apartment has completely separate front and rear entrances from the upstairs so you won’t be sharing any spaces.

The other great thing about my apartment is that it is truly a full basement with nearly 8 foot high ceilings and FULL windows/doors so you won’t feel like you’re in a basement like with many other basement apartments.

I have no-contact keyless entry and this also allows you to not have to worry about losing any keys during your stay.

My apartment is equipped with standard kitchen and bathroom amenities and linens (towels, wash clothes, sheets, blankets, etc.).

Getting around DC is also really easy from my apartment and there are many forms of transportation available close by. Walking to the Capitol building is about 1 mile if you’re up for a nice stroll down Maryland Ave. There is a free streetcar on H St that will take you to the backside of Union Station. There is a city bus stop on the corner of my street. You could also venture around town on electric scooters or electric or manual pedal bikes that you can get in the neighborhood or rent from Capital bike-share 1 block away. Lyft, Uber, or taxi is also easily available via downloaded apps. My apartment is located within an easy 10-12 minute walk to the red line NoMa metro station. Finally, if you will have a car, there is free, easy to come by street parking right out front. Note: my apartment is in vibrant DC. You will see people from all walks of life, all nationalities, all ethnicities. I have lived in my neighborhood for over 10 years and I love the diversity. If diversity scares or bothers you in any way, then my apartment is not the place for your stay.

Family trip to D.C.

Cozy, charming place with easy access to city (only 3 blocks from streetcar) and shopping & restaurants nearby on H Street. Much more comfortable than hotel, with full kitchen and separate bedroom. (We brought twin air mattress so all could sleep in bedroom, with kiddo on an earlier bedtime, and not convert couch.) Would stay again!

Fantastic 1br apt with pull-out sofa for extra sleeping. Area was quiet. I would highly recommend this place. The only downside would be the stores and restaurants are a moderate walk. They are very nice however.

A fine garden-level apartment. As with nearly all apartment units/properties that exist for the express purpose of vacation rental, there are little things that a permanent resident would add or upgrade, but for a few nights visiting DC, this place was great.

Wonderful stay!

Everything was clean and all of the essentials were there. Other folks have mentioned the neighborhood not being the greatest, which I agree with, but we chose to just not walk after dark. The bus stop is on the same block which made it super easy to get around. Owner was responsive and pleasant. Highly recommend :)

Awesome Place to Crash

Friends and I were in DC for a music festival and this was the perfect place to crash after a full day and night of dancing. Super easy to get rideshares to and from the event from here. Felt safe for it being in DC and we were out both nights until the early AM hours. The house was super clean and modern and perfect for our needs. We will 100% stay here again if we come down for the festival next year!

short DC getaway

The property was as listed. Everything was new/modern. Shower was heaven. Parking was very easy around the block. Getting to the capital district was easy and I was surprised how cheap garage parking was downtown. We saw so many sights. Wholefoods was our go to for food.

Perfect for our daughter's graduation weekend in DC

We were in town for our daughter's graduation from GW so we weren't in the apartment that much. It had everything we needed and was very clean. We would have liked it the outdoor light to the apartment was on when we checked in because it is a basement apartment and we arrived after dark but other than that, we were happy with it.

Clean and quiet

The apartment was clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive when I had a question. Parking outside was plentiful. Bonus: there’s a park just around the block, which my kids loved. Brand new washer and dryer. Pull out sofa is just a fold down futon. Not terribly uncomfortable, but not a sofa bed. Overall, a great place to stay.

Close to city center

The basement apartment is super cute, clean, and welcoming. The kitchen is small but functional- a baking sheet that fits in the oven would be helpful, appreciated the microwave and toaster oven! We usually took an Uber into the city but the Metro was helpful too. We were able to walk to Whole Foods and Union District- the neighborhood could make some nervous but we felt fine. Overall we were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay in DC! Thank you :)

Perfect dwelling

Well-appointed, clean, roomy apartment for the three of us. Literally, a few steps from a metro bus stop and a bodega. The free trolley that takes you all along H St to Union Station is a quick, easy, flat, 3 block walk away. You can access Giant grocery store, chain restaurants, local eateries, CVS, Dollar Tree and many other businesses with streetcar stops in front of them. At Union Station you can take the DC circulator for a dollar to many different locations or get on the metro. The apartment is in a great, quiet neighborhood next to a school and the owner is amazingly helpful and accessible if you have questions. Wonderful stay with my 10 and 15 year old grandnieces.

Great apartment - everything you need!

My husband and I just wanted to get out of the house for a weekend, and this was a fun little trip for us! The keyless entry is really a brilliant idea! The apartment is just as described in the ad. We are walkers and had no trouble walking to H Street where we found restaurants, Whole Foods Market, plus free transport to Union Station. We did use Uber for the first time and loved it - DC is super-tricky to drive around (for us), so it was a great choice. The bed was a semi-firm memory foam mattress, very comfortable and the shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water. The shower floor was a little slippery so I put down a kitchen towel for safety - it was great, otherwise! There was plenty of streaming channels on tv, and we had no trouble with the WIFI. We highly recommend this apartment and would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Montello Manor

Host profile image
Hi! I love to travel and build stuff, and I want to teach myself how to play the guitar. I love opening my home to others who are interested in exploring a city beyond the main attractions. You know, those who want to feel what it is like to actually live in a city they are visiting and experience a different culture than their own.

Why they chose this property

Staying at my place is great because you will be able to get a feeling of what living in DC is really like beyond the monuments and museums. My neighborhood is a vibrant, diverse enclave in the northeast quadrant of DC. Neighbors still say hello when walking down the street and I know everyone living on my block - we're our own little family.

What makes this property unique

My home is situated 2 blocks to the H Street corridor, which means you will have easy access to food, grocery stores (5 within 1 mile), and entertainment. If you will have a car, please let me know to access free street parking so you can park and leave your car while exploring the city during your visit.
