About this property

Lowest Rate Guaranteed – Private [Room + Bathroom + Entrance] - DC Free Parking

Welcome to your Self‑Clean Discount Stay in Washington, D.C.! This private en‑suite bedroom offers comfort, convenience, and unbeatable value. Guests enjoy the lowest rate by leaving the room spotless and move‑in ready at checkout, ensuring a fresh space for every visitor. The home is quiet, well‑kept, and shared with respectful female residents, making it an ideal retreat for travelers seeking both privacy and community.

Located in the vibrant Brookland area, the property provides easy access to Catholic University, the Basilica of the National Shrine, and local shops, breweries, and restaurants. Fully furnished living areas, a stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, and outdoor spaces are available, with all utilities included. Whether you’re here for work, study, or leisure, this home offers a safe, welcoming environment and a prime location to explore Washington, D.C.

Owner‑occupied home shared with respectful female residents.

This is a Self-Clean Discount Stay! This means you are guaranteed the lowest rate, minus cleaning fees if the room is left spotless at checkout and ready for the next guest; otherwise, a $195 additional fee will apply to your stay. Furthermore, since your room will be delivered supposedly ready to move in by the guest before you (guest-to-guest), my daughter and I won't take any actions related to "cleaning."!

This is not a business, nor a replacement for employment. As the homeowner, I leverage my basic living to assist me in covering some of my personal basic living expenses. In exchange for your spending, you receive a private and conveniently located place to host you during your stay in Washington D.C.

Good place to stay for DC sight seeing.

It was only about 25 minutes away from all the things you want to see around the White House in DC. There are three bedrooms upstairs with one bathroom, and there is another bathroom on the first floor.

Cozy, comfortable, and convenient!

Lara's place was a great home away from home while I hosted friends from out of town. The house had everything we needed, awesome outdoor space, and easy check-in/out process. Lara was super helpful and responsive the one time I needed to get in touch with her.

Great week in DC!

We wanted a place in DC where our family of six could stay for a week of college visits and sightseeing. With two full bathrooms, enough beds/couches for everyone to have their own space without sharing a room, and a washer/dryer to make sure we had clean clothes for the week, Lara’s home was the perfect fit! Highly recommend!

Good value for a family looking to spend time in DC

We were very happy with our stay as we were looking to stay somewhere close to DC that was less expensive than the crazy prices in the heart of DC. It was a perfect place for us as we would head out in the morning and not be back until night after spending a full day touring the City. As a family, we appreciated separate bedrooms, W/D, great internet, and multiple bathrooms. Thanks Lara.

Wonderful weekend in DC

We had 3 generations spending a weekend together in DC. We loved the location of the house and all of it's amenities. There was a good amount of street noise, but it didn't bother us too much. The off street parking was convenient, the neighborhood was pleasant to walk around, and the ease of getting to the touristy sites was great. Thank you to Lara for sharing your home!

Charming home within traveling distance to DC.

This home was a good size for our family. It wasn’t far from area attractions. The house was very clean and the host was very polite and communicated well, answering all messages very quickly. We highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Lara Alramahi

Host profile image
Great to meet you and Welcome to Washington DC. My name is Lara and my daughter's name is Talia.

The house is occupied by Talia and myself (homeowners, and I am your host). We both moved from NYC to Washington DC in 2010 to make a living. A side from hustling, we both like to travel and learn about different cultures. United States Map hanging on kitchen wall shows some of the places we have visited so far.

Our heritage ties to Middle Eastern culture. Our Parents/Grandparents grew up in Jordan, Jerusalem, and other cities of the Holy Lands.

This is a Self-Clean Discount Stay! 💯 Lowest rate, minus cleaning fees guaranteed if the room is left spotless at checkout and ready for the next guest; otherwise, a $195 cleaning fee applies. Also, since previous guest will enaure the readiness of your room, we are not responsible, neither willing to take action on "cleaning" complaints.

This is not a business, nor a replacement for employment. In exchange for your spending, you receive a reasonably priced place to host you during your stay in Washington D.C.
