About this property
Rock Creek Park Residence
Summary: This newly renovated basement in a beautiful Colonial home has 2 bedrooms and is located just one block from Rock Creek Park with access to downtown DC either by bike, car or metro. Parking!
The Space: For those looking for outdoor adventure combined with city living! Come stay in our newly renovated English basement! With two bedrooms, we can comfortably sleep six guests. There is a kitchen, full bath and plenty of parking!
There is a lovely open living area, complete with kitchen for guests to use, and a large SmartTV so guests can rest easy, enjoying each other’s company after a day of sight seeing.
Sleep soundly tucked away from the heavily trafficked streets, and awaken to bird songs and the stunning park just outside of your door.
Enjoy the respite from the hustle and bustle while somehow remaining a stones throw away from the action!
Our Rock Creek Park Residence offers an immaculate refuge for recreation, and a truly grounding and peaceful retreat to escape the action of our Nation’s Capital after soaking it in during the day!
With easy access to metro, nearby farmers market in walking distance as well as TONS of playgrounds and parks, guests can experience the wonderfully unique experience of being immersed in nature while still just a short ways away from the epicenter of the District!
Guest Access: Guests have access to the entire apartment, it is not shared. There is a separate entrance for guests to use.
There is a family living upstairs. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life.
Please note - there is a dog in the main part of the house, it DOES NOT have access to the apartment and you should rarely see him, if at all.
The Neighborhood: Rock Creek Park is a true city escape. While you have great access to the hustle and bustle of DC's expanding history - you are a short stroll from the soothing connection to nature that is so rare to find in a cityscape.
Enjoy hiking trails, horseback riding, tennis, bicycling and the gorgeous, ranger-led Planetarium located in the park!
Getting Around: If looking for access to DC's major sites, you are between to two metro stops (both with parking at the station).
Other Things to Note: We want you to make the most of your stay, so we've partnered with DC’s city tour company See DC Today to help ensure an amazing visit, at the best rate possible! Sit back and relax as the finest, most highly-trained and knowledgeable guides take you through the city, to soak up the surrounding history. Feel free to give us a call to find out about the discounted rates we have secured for Home Sweet City's guests.
Interaction with Guests: Feel free to contact us; we are very hands on in the communication process and will be in touch before, during and after your stay!

Hi Laura, We're glad to hear you had a great stay. We hope to have another opportunity to welcome you back so you can explore more of what the city has to offer!
Was everything we hoped for in D.C. area, easy to get to train stations and everything we needed close by. Communication with owners was great. Will definitely stay again if back in area

Hi Kevin, We are glad you enjoyed your stay and would return. It was a pleasure to host you and we are looking forward to welcome you back!
We spent two nights here and it was just right. There was enough room for the four of us and everything was clean and comfortable. The bathroom, especially the shower, is amazing and the beds are very comfortable. The coffee is a great bonus too! We loved our stay and felt cozy and at home!
Really nice apartment, comfy beds, beautiful shower, on a quiet street near a park with lots of wonderful trails for morning walks! And not too far from a great bookshop cafe. Thank you!!!

Hi Kelly, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, it was lovely to host you and we hope to have a future opportunity to welcome you back!
My spouse and I stayed with our infant son for over a week at this neat, nice, and well-equipt place. The host lives upstairs with their family who were quiet and friendly. The place is spectacular for the price. The only downside is that it's a 10-ish min walk to the nearest public transportation (bus stop). If you have a car this place is ideal. Would happily stay again if ever in the area
We were very impressed with Home Sweet City. It was as advertised. Clean and well stocked. It was easy to find and convenient to the Metro, restaurants and the grocery store. The host was very responsive and reached out to check on us during our stay. We’ll definitely look at this place on our next visit to DC!

Hi Jimmy, We are happy you had a great stay overall and would stay with us again! It was great to host you and we are looking forward to welcoming you back.
This basement apartment is comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. The location in Chevy Chase right by Rock Creek Park is excellent for families with young children. I wasn’t sure about street parking, but the spot in front of the house was always available so we had no issues there. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations!

Hi Vivek, We are happy to hear you enjoyed the space! Thank you for sharing your feedback, it was a pleasure to host you and we would love to welcome you back again, take care.
Lara & Alex’s apartment couldn’t have been more perfect for our family of five (plus 2 dogs!). Plenty of space, and there were even books for our children to enjoy. We loved being so close to Rock Creek Park, but also the proximity to major thoroughfares for the DC/MD/VA area. If we ever need a place to stay on future visits to the area, I hope we are permitted to return to this property.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! For future guests, please be aware we can consider hosting pets on a case by case basis, for a fee.
Please inquire when making your reservation. Thank you!
This was a cute little apartment, well kept, and the owners have made the most of the space. My priority is always a good nights sleep, and the mattresses were comfortable with quality linens. I also appreciated the generous supplies of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, TP, etc. The owners also left us a lovely supply of high end coffee and teas, such nice touches! There was plenty of parking as promised, and the neighborhood was lovely. It’s a short and easy drive to the metro and a city garage next to the metro (you do pay to park there). Great experience!
It was a perfect-sized place for my daughter and me to stay as we toured DC. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and we hardly ever heard the upstairs neighbors. Our only trouble was figuring out how to get the key out of the lock box and open the door as the porch light was out. The owner said he would fix it that weekend so I'm sure it is all taken care of for the next guests.

Hi Tye, We are happy you enjoyed our home and the neighborhood overall. Thank you for sharing your feedback, it was a pleasure hosting you and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
Small and clean property. We missed one night stay due to flight cancel and no refund or offer from the host. that is only concern for me. Everything ok other than that.

Hi Murali, We're glad you enjoyed our home. We're so sorry about your flight cancellation, we hope you understand this was out of our control as well. Since we were not able to rebook that missed night, we were not in a position to refund it, given the timing. We understand these things can happen and did suggest you might be able to use your travel insurance to claim this back, hopefully that was useful. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to host you.

1. Beware of the additional fee that Expedia or Vrbo may charge additionally after you pressed the Confirmation button. I was charged an additional fee after I received You’re all set email. After I made a complaint over the phone, seemed to be removed without any explanation.
2. The place is a BASEMENT, but it was newly renovated and almost everything is perfect. We came across a few issues but we got help right away.
The place and linen and towels were very clean.
3. Parking might be a problem if only the side of the road in front of the house is ok to park.

We rented the property for the use of our adult children and their children while they visited us in
We rented the property for the use of our adult children and their children while they visited us in D.C. They could not have been happier with the choice of a place to stay. They loved the location in a neighborhood setting close to the park and easy access to the rest of the city. They apartment was perfect for them and they were very happy with the accommodations. The Home Sweet City team was great to work with. They responded quickly to all questions and needs from booking the property to keeping the temperature in the unit just right. They are friendly and professional.
