Welcome to Washington DC

Live like a local in the heart of DC's vibrant Shaw neighborhood!

This completely renovated turn of the century rowhome offers high speed WiFi, a workspace, private deck, fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, and full-size washer and dryer.

There are three bedrooms: one has a king bed and two have queen beds. Two bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, with a third full bathroom in the hall directly across from the other bedroom.

This gorgeous rowhome was built in 1900 and has been completely renovated to include all the comforts of modern living.

The main level boasts a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, a private deck, a large, open living and dining area, a light and bright workspace, full-size washer and dryer, and a half bathroom.

Upstairs you'll find three spacious bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms, and a third full bathroom.

I live in the lower level unit (completely separate, with its own entrance), should you need anything at all during your stay. You might see me walking in, but will give you your space with a nice hello!

Stroll down tree-lined streets to one of the many nearby coffee shops, eateries, or watering holes.

There are two nearby Metro stops: Shaw-Howard U (Green and Yellow Lines) is two blocks away and NoMa-Galludet U (Red Line) is four blocks away.

There is also a bus stop in the same block and a Capital Bikeshare station in the next block.

Fireplaces are decorative only.

James was very responsive and a great host. We had a huge car and lot of parking options available which was great. The house is located within 15 min of everything you need to see in Washington. It was perfect for our needs dir the weekend.

Great location and walkable to food and beverages.   House is comfortable and well decorated.  We especially enjoyed the back porch area as a great gathering spot.  James responded quickly to our requests.   Biggest complaint is the noise level at night.   Seemed like a lot of sirens, but we are from quiet neighborhoods.  Was a great stay there and we recommend it to others.

James was a great, responsive and thoughtful host!

Great location! . Easy walk to the metro and surrounding areas. Traveled with three kids and felt safe both in the house and walking around. Host was really responsive and helpful! House was very clean  and beds were comfortable. Would stay again!
