I am here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is up to you. I'm only a phone call/message away. You will be able to check yourselves in upon arrival with your own key code which works on both the front and rear door lock.

Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, this condo is a short walk from some of the capital's most iconic nightlife, outdoor patios, and top-notch brunch spots. The nearby Shaw metro makes going to the National Mall, monuments, and museums very easy.

The Shaw metro station is a 10 minute walk away. In general, the neighborhood is very walkable and Uber’s and Lyft’s are also plentiful and a great travel option. 

Parking: There is free 2 hour parking in front of the home during the daytime, and at night parking is free from 6:30PM until 9AM the next morning.  Weekend guests can park for free on the street from 6:30PM on Friday until 9AM on Monday.  For dedicated parking spots with guaranteed availability, we recommend a parking app like SpotHero (also available on the web).  It helps you find close parking spaces at discounted prices in garages or surface lots.

We want to inform you that Washington, DC, like many urban areas, experiences occasional rodent activity. While we are taking proactive measures, such as setting traps and using safe poisons, you might still encounter them during your stay.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that we are doing our utmost to manage the situation. This is a city-wide issue, and we appreciate your understanding and patience as we continue to address it.

Please keep in mind that this home is located on the first floor of a two stories home.  The floor upstairs is original and has the potential to be squeaky.

DO NOT STAY HERE, PLACE AND NEIGHBORHOOD UNDER RAT INFESTATION. This place unfortunately does not offer the 5-star experience they advertise. The first night we arrived we found a dead mouse under the sofa bed where 2 of our children were sleeping (we have a picture to prove it). Neither the property manager nor the host offered any help to us remove the dead mouse. Their responses were slow and not empathetic. Our children had a lot of trouble going to sleep the first night due to what we experienced, which made for an overall terrible stay. We stayed for 2 nights and asked for a refund for the first night and they refused our request. One of the toilets does not work properly, some of the sheets had stains and the house just doesn’t feel spot cleaned. The floors creak a lot at night and that was nowhere on the description. Also it took us a long time to get answers to simple questions when we arrived, such as where can we find extra sheets for the sofa bed and towels. Never again!

Fantastic stay! Area was local enough to make it to any of the major attractions within 10 minutes. Home was clean and owners were well responsive. Would recommended to anyone.

Great place just a short drive to the city center. The host was extremely quick to respond to any queries and made sure to check in to see our stay was comfortable.

Had a great stay here and the beds were super comfortable. Host was responsive and fixed an issue immediately. Would stay here again.

The hosts had great communication, easy check in, decent location that felt safe, it was walkable to the subway, and felt very clean.
