Exclusive Apt in Shaw-“2 BR” Slps 4/6

Summary:
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: The apartment can be configured as a comfortable, airy 2BR (there is a curtain one can close to separate the pull-out in the living room from the rest of the living room, creating a private second bedroom), or a very spacious one bedroom with a large living area and dining table.

COVID 19: For your complete peace of mind, the home is professionally cleaned and disinfected in between stays using CDC recommended products and safety equipment.

The Space:
Beautifully furnished, newly renovated apt with meticulous attention to detail; guests need only bring their person!

Nestled on a quiet tree-lined street, while remaining in the heart of D.C. - close to the museums, monuments, restaurants, & more!

Our quiet, comfortable, and bright apartment is a perfect home base for families, friends, sightseeing couples, small families, business travelers, professors, and your everyday traveler.

We can accommodate up to 4 adults plus two children (6 guests total) by use of (1) the king- sized bed in the bedroom; (2) a full- sized sofa bed in a private area of the living space; and (3) a CordaRoy’s Convertible Bean Bag that folds out into another full-sized bed (featured on shark tank and perfect for kids!)

The apartment can be configured as a comfortable, airy 2BR (there is a curtain one can close to separate the pull-out in the living room from the rest of the living room, creating a private second bedroom), or a very spacious one bedroom with a large living area and dining table.

Calming hues & warm tones welcome guests into the serene escape from the city outside, and pops of color provide a funky juxtaposition to the mid century furnishings. Comfortable new couches provide a great place to work, or rest from a day out and about in DC.

The comfortable, open floor plan living area offers plenty of space to spread out, and boasts all amenities at the ready. When it’s time for sleep or privacy, a curtain separates the sofa bed from the rest of the living room.

The apartment also includes:
~ Use of an outdoor sitting area and table on the front patio

~ TV (Smart streaming & local channels)

~ Laptop friendly workspace for business travelers, students, and professionals.

~ Fully renovated kitchen with plenty of counter space, a four- burner range and oven, microwave oven, toaster, coffee maker, and dishwasher.

~ Dining table that can be extended to seat up to 6 people comfortably.

Our stylish, mid century modern clean and comfortable apartment is the ideal home base for your trip to the District!

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire lower level unit. It 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:
The home rests on a lovely tree lined street, a short walk (just over 10 minutes) from the Shaw-Howard University Station (where you have access to the yellow and green lines), and just over 15 minutes from the NoMa-Gallaudet U New York Ave Station (where you have access to the red line metro).  There is also a convenient bus (70/79) that can take you directly to the MALL. 

The location is the epicenter of DC’s music and dining scene, always the place to be seen in D.C! Walk up Florida Avenue and catch a wide range of music shows at the historic Howard Theater, or a few more blocks to the famous “9:30 Club”. 
A short distance in either direction takes you to the Right Proper Brew Pub, the Shaw Tavern, Bistro Boehm, Shaw Library and a bucketful of coffee houses, fitness centers and “pop-up” eating and entertainment venues. 

Guests will be a stone`s throw from the U Street Corridor and 14th St, just minutes away on foot from all the fabulous restaurants bars and shopping that this hip neighborhood has to offer. Grocery stores, pharmacy and every other essential are just a few minutes’ walk from the home.

Getting Around:
No need for a car at this location! 
With the Shaw-Howard Metro (Green and Yellow lines) just a few blocks away, you can be at the National Mall, White House, the Capitol, Monuments and Museums, The Wharf or practically any place else in the city in 20/25 minutes or less.  

Prefer something more active? Most central Washington DC features are all within walking. Several Capital Bikesharesare located short strolls away; they offer bike rentals by the hour at excellent rates - a truly awesome way to explore the city, the Potomac Tow Path, the Anacostia Waterfront, and nearby Virginia and Maryland!  .

Buses also run up and down nearby Rhode Island Ave, 7th Street, U Street and Florida Avenue, just a short walk away.

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.

Nice stay.
Overall a nice stay. Description of the property was accurate. It Had everything we needed and was close to all the historic sites. On the downside, WiFi service was poor. Had to use cellular network for our devices while in the apartment. Also not sure why there's no TV in the master bedroom

Great DC home!
This is a lovely home, exactly where we needed to be! The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet with plenty of available parking. The host/ management team was on top of every question I had. The home itself is exactly as described. The bed was very comfortable and the optional second bedroom was a game changer! Clean, well maintained- you won’t go wrong renting this home!

Great stay with our family
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was the perfect place to rest and recover from our days of sightseeing. We had a car so we drive to the mall each day and it was only about 15 minutes. Parking was very convenient at the apartment. We never had an issue finding a nearby spot. Master bed was very comfy and the rest of the sleep arrangements worked for our kids. Kitchen was stocked with supplies which was helpful. Lara was very helpful and communicative from booking to check-out. We would stay here again and will recommend to friends as well.

It worked well for us!
My teenage sons had room to relax and chill - and I did as well. The (manageable) cons are that the water pressure is low and it was too far (IMO) for us to walk to the Metro (Uber). Pros include good local food, a relatively quiet neighborhood, and a home-like atmosphere to return to after a long day of sightseeing. This was the best vacation we've had and I'm so grateful to have had a VRBO that helped us make these great memories of our stay in Washington DC.

Very happy with our stay!
When we arrived, the apartment was extremely clean and had everything that we needed. We were 4 adults and the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable, and the kitchen was great! Overall, we had a fantastic experience! The only very minor comment we have is that when we arrived, it was dark outside and it was extremely hard to find the apartment number. (It was above the entrance). If there's any way to illuminate the number, that would make it much easier to find. The entrance is small, so it wasn't obvious from the street. Other than that, we were extremely happy with our stay!

Lovely versatile space
This property is a real gem located in a convenient and lively neighborhood in DC. Clean, beautifully appointed and quite spacious, this basement apartment had everything our family of 4 adults could want. The pull out sofa and convertible beanbag bed offer versatile sleeping arrangements which are hard to find in many properties. The hosts were extremely responsive and great to work with. Overall an excellent choice for a visit to Washington.

Museum trip with kids
It was a great space to stay in for a trip to the museums. The neighborhood felt safe and had lots of walking food options that are celiacs friendly. Unfortunately it rained the entire time we were there and I and my daughter ended up getting the flu bad and we saw next to nothing! I will say, after being sick as a dog in a space that is not mine, it could have been waaaay worse. The king bed is so very comfortable! I was very grateful for the laundry as it helped our situation a lot. Will definitely look to stay again when we give this trip a redo. I hope I checked out ok. I and my daughter were very sick and feverish when we left , it was unusually overwhelming. Not the fault of the owners at all. They have a great spot.

Short trip for work
I needed a place to stay for work for 2 nights, hotels in the area are so $$$$ and the parking cost s fortune! This space was perfect. Nice neighborhood with people walking dogs, parking (with a temporary pass) was not a problem at all. My ONLY thought about this property is the front door- it’s transparent and when you sit on the couch you feel like you can be seen which felt weird for me (yes you are below ground but that was uncomfortable for me being alone in an unknown city). Yes there are little footsteps upstairs but it is VERY limited and honestly I found it comforting. One last thing……. The bed and pillows were so so so awesome I want to sleep there again! Thanks

Lovely family trip
We enjoyed a lovely trip, the property was a great home-base as we explored the sites of DC and had meetings with our legislators. Lovely location, easy to walk to restaurants and access transportation. The pull-out couch with curtain provided privacy for our adult son as we would wake up earlier than him. The kitchen was well equipped, we made breakfast every morning and did some light cooking one evening. Our host was quick to respond to questions as well as provide recommendations which were helpful in planning our stay. If we have the opportunity for another visit, we would stay here again. Thank you!

Awesome place !
This is a great little place in a cool part of DC! We stayed for 3 nights with three teens, and we felt it was perfect ! Clean, really really comfortable, and the neighborhood was nice with a fantastic pizza place within walking distance. Parking was hit or miss, but overall not terrible. Subway could have been a little closer , but not terrible. We mostly ubered to the museums , which was around 18-$22. Not bad. I would def come back and would definitely recommend

Hideaway in the city
There is a lot to like about this getaway in the heart of Washington D.C. First, it's important to note that the property is just as described and the pictures represent the space well. We started the visit with 4 adults, before our daughter returned to college after the first weekend. I think the space was a little cramped for 4, but was perfect for the three of us. We generally made breakfast in the house, and there was a good set of provisions for cooking. That is you would definitely be able to make complete meals. The neighborhood is great. We stopped and talked to a few people walking dogs or kids. It was very nice, and had really great restaurants right around the corner. Make sure to get reservations for the Red Hen and check out Etabli for wine and light tapas-style small plates. We also did a lot of walking, including down to the Smithsonian museums. It was a bit of a walk, but easy to find our way. Overall, we really loved our week spent at this property, and would definitely return if we were back in the DC area.

Sehr schönes Appartment in zauberhafter Lage
Pro: Mega Lage in zauberhafter Umgebung, wir haben jeden Morgen auf der kleinen Terrasse vor dem Haus gefrühstückt und die tolle Atmosphäre Bloomingdales genossen. Das Appartment ist blitzsauber, sehr schön eingerichtet mit allem was man braucht und einem sehr bequemen Bett im Schlafzimmer. Es ist sehr ruhig und trotzdem zentral. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen. Contra: wir waren etwas überrascht, dass die Wohnung um Souterrain liegt. Das ist okay, aber wir hätten es gerne vorher gewusst. Die W-LAN Verbindung war nicht besonders stabil. Tipp: den Anwohnerparkausweis rechtzeitig beantragen, da dieser für den jeweiligen Tag ausgedruckt im Auto liegen muss.
