AGAIN - PLEASE DO NOT USE INSTANT BOOKING!
We have to enable "instant booking" or our listing is hidden, but this apt. is listed on several other sites and I might be in discussion with others.
PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST. - Click on "Contact Owner" Tab just beneath "Check Availability."
You will save time and trouble if we email first to be sure my apt. is available and perfect for you!
Minimum stay is 30 days (unless there is a natural "gap" between reservations.)
This charming apartment is the entire 3rd floor of an historic row house in the dynamic neighborhood of Columbia Heights.
The apartment is separate and private with a door at the bottom of the stairs, but the entry is through the main house where I live. You may come and go as you please. I'm a writer & work at home.
I have two cats (and often foster kittens or dogs) in the main house. The animals never go into the apartment. Your well-trained dog or cat is welcome with a pet-cleaning fee of $50.00 per stay.
You must be fully vaccinated against Covid 19.

About the host
Hosted by Victoria
I'm a novelist, writing mystery/thrillers for adults and historical adventures for YA. ("Shackleton's Stowaway," published by Knopf is my best known.) I was born in Washington DC and have lived here most of my life. I've traveled and worked all over the world and enjoy sharing my city with visitors.
Why they chose this property
Columbia Heights is an historic and diverse neighborhood right in the middle of the city, close to everything. Being 1/2 block to a Metro station makes everything easier!
