About this property

This is a massive, bright Victorian row house with high ceilings in the most vibrant part of DC. A block from U St, 1.5 blocks from Shaw Metro (green/yellow lines).

You will have exclusive use of the entire main house. The first level includes a large living room with soaring ceilings, an office space with desk and neighborhood views, portable Bluetooth Bose speaker, a half bath, and eat-in kitchen with tons of counter space and everything you need to prepare and enjoy a wonderful meal at home. The table in the kitchen opens up to seat four guests (there are two additional chairs in the home to complete the seating).

The second level contains two bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms, high ceilings, ceiling fans, and plenty of natural light. The master bedrooms has a smart tv. There is a private courtyard in the back with two Adirondack rockers and wrought iron dining set for four. There are oversized washer and dryer in the basement as well as an iron and ironing board.

Although there is no TV in the living room, if guests prefer to have the TV in the living room instead of the bedroom, that can usually be arranged. Feel free to ask!

Gigabit fiber internet- ideally set up for remote work, play, sightseeing when in DC.

The kitchen has an abundance of spices, utensils, dishes, and pots and pans. We also have a coffee maker, microwave, hot water heater, and instant pot. If you have any questions about anything we have on hand, please let us know.

Need additional space? Ask about renting the converted carriage house behind the main house. It sleeps two additional people and has its own living area with tv, a kitchen, dining table, and full bathroom (with shower).

The home is in a very diverse, historic and bustling part of DC. Close to hip bars and some of the best restaurants in the city. You are really in the heart of the most exciting part of DC right now and steps from the Metro. For light sleepers and those sensitive to city noises, we offer ear plugs and noise dampening fans in each bedroom.

Great family stay

This property was ideal for our family of four on a week long DC trip. Close to the metro, had everything we needed, there was plenty of extra toiletries, lots of space and it was clean. It’s in the city and there’s noise at night but nothing that some earplugs can’t fix.

Our new go-to place to stay when visiting our adult kids who live in the area.

Flawless experience with this VRBO. It is even better than the pictures. Little conveniences in the kitchen such as filtered water in the fridge and necessary condiments was very welcome. Host was fantastic to work with. We will most definitely be back.

Wonderful Place and Metro Accessible

My sister and I enjoyed our stay here. The place offers alot of amenities for cooking and relaxing after a long day of touring. A short walk to the Metro. One caveat for light sleepers...there is a bar on the corner with outdoor seating which could be noisy for the front bedroom sleeper. Otherwise, the place is perfect and we would definitely stay here again.

Washington DC property

Great property in NW DC area, 2 blocks from Metro stop. Small grocery, CVS, several food places within a block of the location. Property description on-line is absolutely accurate; have everything in the house needed for a short stay. Host responded to several questions before and after check-in very quickly which was appreciated. It's an active neighborhood so some level of street noise, but they have a white noise air purifier in front room that knocks that down for good sleeping. Parking in the neighborhood is very challenging, which wasn't an issue for us because we came in by train & air. Recommend the property without reservation.

Staying in the Shaw District of DC

This house was exactly what we wanted for our stay in DC. Plenty of room and the little patio area at the back was perfect for breakfast and evening drinks. The area itself is bustling. Lots of great street art and we were spoilt for choice for restaurants. A grocery and liquor store both within 5 minutes walk. Chris responded to any questions promptly and provided us with a parking pass for the week we were there. I would highly recommend this property as a base for exploring DC.
