Lovely English Basement Apartment in Washington DC
Summary:
A stylish experience in the heart of DC's Union Market District!
Welcome to this amazing brand new basement apt in a DC residential area. Ideal for couples, travelers & adventurers. Two private entrances, 1 queen Bed, 1 full bath, kitchenette, WiFi, washer/dryer, Smart TV. Nestled in the convenient Union Market District. Steps from fantastic restaurants, shopping, entertainment. Minutes to Capitol Hill, The White House, the Mall, NOMA Station, Union Station, Whole Foods, Trader Joes & H Street.
The Space:
Guests have the run of the apartment. It is fit for two people with a comfy thick queen sized bed. It offers a full bathroom and a kitchenette with a sink, garbage disposal, mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave, electric kettle, water filter pitcher, convection microwave, induction cooktop. NO full sized oven/stove. You can request a Visitor’s Parking Permit (which allows unrestricted on-street parking).
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire basement unit with 24/7 access by use of an electronic keypad door. The apartment is not shared.
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.
The Neighborhood:
You can't choose a better location - the quiet street is easy walking distance to the bustling H St Corridor and NoMa and boasts a 95% "Walk Score" which deems us a "walkers paradise" from a reputable source! Guests can stroll to the United States Capitol Building in over 30 minutes, and stroll to the hub of the major sights - Union Station - in 20.
The food mecca that is Union Market is also within walking distance, not to be missed! Also there's some great shopping opportunities with lots of new pop-up stores around the entrepreneurial Union Market scene, REI's flagship store and all the shopping inside Union Station. You are also just a short stroll from the most popular bars and restaurants in the city. From live music, comedy, improv, and stage plays, those interested in the arts or just looking to see something new will not be disappointed!
Getting Around:
No need for a car, you can walk or metro to everything. Nearby Uber and Lyft rides are plentiful (and we provide coupon codes for both services) as well as Capital Bikeshares / Jump (Uber`s scooter and bike service) surrounding the neighborhood - bike the monuments for a cinematic experience unlike any other!
NoMa-Gallaudet U New York Ave Station is a 7 minute stroll from the apartment, where you can hop on the red line metro, that can whisk you all over the city!
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.
