About this property

Bright Charming Guesthouse Close to Downtown DC

Our brand new sunny guesthouse brings vibrant colors and textures to the walls and creates a fun and inviting space. The decor features cultural references from Spain, Andalucian stairs, a touch of green tropicalia, and Art Deco styles for a fun villa feel. Nearby are the Lily Ponds Aquatic Park, the Metro, and quick access to downtown DC and its iconic landmarks.

Our guesthouse is well-equipped with a full-sized fridge, washer-dryer in unit, electric cooktop, and a full shower bathroom. Bottom floor has integrated kitchen/living room with dining table and a comfortable sofa bed. There is also patio furniture available if you want to chill out on the shared deck. The home has very high ceilings and is two floors. Iron and ironing board available, as is a pack-n-play for those traveling with small kids.

Free street parking is always available in front of the home, so that is never a concern -- something rare for DC!

Please note the main home on the property may be rented out as well, but both homes are independent and have their own separate entrances.

As many other areas in DC, it is an up and coming neighborhood with many young families moving in to enjoy both nature and its convenient location steps from the city center.

Not for elderly nor people with knee/mobility problems.
Definitely had great communication with the host. He sent someone over with clean sheets and more towels. The sheets were stained and looked as they had not been washed. The steps to the bedroom are extremely steep and the beautiful decor on the steps that attracted me to the place were no longer part of the home. Also the bars to hold on to climb stairs were loose and seemed scary to climb up down to bedroom. I limited my trips upstairs to sleeping and showering as did the other guests. Even my children found it hard to climb up and down. Also just simple lack of attention to detail. There was 4 guests and only one and half rolls of toilet paper. Also there was only like 4 large towels and we were staying for 3 nights. The neighborhood as well is definitely not a place to walk around. The transportation system to where all the monuments and such are was better with Uber especially if you have children and definitely would not travel at night without Uber. Also the guests or renters were in home and they were partying and very loud and it was on a Thursday night. The owner apologized and spoke to them but this was odd to have to share a space which included the backyard. In fact there was a sign that stated something about he chairs that should not be used. This made me feel uncomfortable and so I never even used the backyard because there were times someone was out there. Overall it would be a good place for adult couple but not really for families with small children.

convenient and comfortable to DC
The space was perfect for my weeklong work trip in DC. I had a car which was useful - though there is a metro stop about a 10 minute walk away. Communication with the host was stellar -- I (very stupidly!) locked myself out one night and the host was very prompt to reply.

Impromptu mini vacation
Decided on friday to spend a couple days in DC with family. The house is super cute, very clean and the beds were comfy. Everything we needed was there for a nice stay. The host got back to me with any questions within minutes and they are very nice. I loved my stay here. I have never been to DC so I know nothing about neighborhoods and this one can be a little scary. When I went to Safeway to pick up some breakfast the windows on the cvs right next door to Safeway were boarded up. It actually reminded me a few places in NYC. The neighborhood I stay in doesn't matter to me as much how the host interacts with with me. I would definitely stay with them again. The host made the experience very nice.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello! Nhu is from California, and Rafael is from Spain. We are a family of four, and have moved a ton for work and fun, so understand what it is like to be in new spaces. We love exploring new places, eating, and good music. Let us know if you need anything for your stay!

Why they chose this property

This property is truly one of a kind in DC. We love sports, and the ability to feel like you have quiet and peace, and space in a megaurban area like DC is exceptionally unique. Being closeby to the Aquatic Gardens is amazing too, because you're completely immersed in wildlife there. And yet, you're in DC!
