About this property
Welcoming and light ground floor studio short walk to dwnt Silver Spring & metro
Separate and private spacious walkout basement studio unit with separated sleeping area, kitchenette, inviting hangout/tv viewing area, natural light, and ventilation. The separate entrance has a coded entry. Off-street parking is available in the driveway. I live upstairs; there is a locked door between the units. I am available for neighborhood information or any challenges. Easy walk to public trans (0.7 mile to metro) and a robust array of markets, dining & shopping options. Two sump pumps run when raining - the upside is it can sound like sleeping near a brook. The ceiling is a reasonable height but be mindful if over 6'. Note: It's not great if one has mobility issues. There is a great feel to the place—exposed brick and joists with modern amenities. There is Wi-Fi, a smart TV, a kitchennette with an induction cook top, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, fridge, and dishes.
Unit DOES NOT include a washer/dryer. There is a clean and efficient laundromat and block away.
Great walking neighborhood and downtown Silver Spring begins around the corner. Off-street parking is available.

This was a terrific place to stay! The booking and check-in/out processes were very easy. It is located in a very convenient area, close to lots of restaurants, and around a 15 minute walk to the metro. We felt very safe the entire stay and would stay here again!

I’m glad you had a great time and enjoyed the space. Come back anytime!
Very cosy and well appointed basement apartment, very close (5m walk) to downtown silver spring coffee shops and restaurants. Ruti was a very thoughtful and accommodating host.
This was a well organized and very clean yet cozy space. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the heated towel rack! The street is absolutely beautiful and we walked to brunch. We really enjoyed our stay:)
Cozy apartment centrally located to restaurants, shopping and transportation. A short walk from the train station. All the amenities were included including multiple coffee brewing options!
Great and convenient place to stay. We came to visit old high school friends from our days living in Fredericksburg. Easy to get around (despite the timing of an event in dc) and great accommodations.
Ruti's place is a perfect little hideaway for a DC visit! Very clean, comfortable, and homey, and she was really pleasant and responsive. I hope to get a chance to stay there again!
We had an amazing experience, the host was nice and informative and responsive. They home was lovely and the location and commuter were perfect. Great stay!
It was a great stay. The place was just as listed and I felt comfortable getting to red line and bus route. Bed was cozy. And kitchen worked well for my needs. Good access to Safeway and Whole Foods. I would stay again

Adrienne, I’m so glad to hear the space worked so well for you. Hope to see you again. All best.
I've stayed here several times now and would like to do so again in the future. The host is very thoughtful and responsive and the property is nice and in a good location.
Highly recommend this gem in Silver Spring. Ruti was communicative before and during our stay. Well-appointed and stocked with everything you'll need...another big thumbs up for the heated towel rack!
We loved staying at this place. It was an easy and safe walk to Silver Springs. We were able
To get on the metro there, about a 20 minute ride to DC and everything was walkable. About 10 minutes from the house has a strip with restaurants and grocery stores and a CVS. The house is perfect for the 3 of us, plenty of room and comfy beds. We would stay here again.

Tonya, thanks for the wonderful review; I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay.
Wonderful basement apartment that met our needs. On site parking, quiet neighborhood, wonderful host, easy and safe walk to the Metro. For an inexpensive, clean, out of the big city rat race style apartment, go here.
Everything went well. The host was very good about communicating information. The room was nice. The location was good as well: it's rare to find much in Silver Spring/Takoma.
