The location is the epicenter of DC’s music and dining scene, always the place to be seen in DC!
Walk around the corner and catch a wide range of music shows at the historic Howard Theater, or a few more blocks to the famous “9:30 Club”.

Location! Location! Temperature-ation!
Absolutely beautiful neighborhood and perfect location - Capital Bike & scooter rentals, metro, walkable groceries, restaurants! Family above so expect to hear footsteps/kiddos early (we have kids too so are used to it but good to know!). Office open 9-5p w/emergency-only # after 5p. We arrived late & needed a massive temperature adjustment. Host family above must change it as there is no thermostat in unit. Due to the after-5p arrival, it made for a rough night. Easy check in process. Safe area for families and anyone!

Perfect location
We really enjoyed the stay at this location. It was about two blocks or less from the metro station. 1-2 stops from the arena, 2-4 from the Capitol, White House and museums. About 7-8 stops from the Pentagon. The neighborhood constantly had people walking by and felt safe. Close to many restaurants and several grocery stores within walking distance. We were unable to adjust the temp in the house and the property management was very responsive and the owner lives upstairs and he was also. The owners do have a young child as the description states and you can hear the walking/running during the day on the weekends or evenings but we just ignored it. It was nice to have a washer and dryer if needed. I was able to make breakfast several days and all the cookware necessary was available. The pots are nonstick and not the greatest but we made do with what was available. Overall very convenient, cozy and highly recommended!
