Here for DC's famed monuments, memorials, and museums? Not a problem - you'll have the fastest access to them all from the Columbia Heights Metro Station. We can't wait to show you why we call DC home!

One of the greatest luxuries of DC: GREAT public transportation! The Columbia Heights Metro stop is a short 5 minute walk. There are also plenty scooters, bikes, and Uber/Lyft (they are FAST so make sure to be ready when you order it).

Great location, great stay

We were very pleased with our stay here. The owners provided a lot of info on the area and recommendations for places to eat. Close to public transportation. I do believe, however, that photos of the property, don’t do it justice. It was roomier than I anticipated, which was much appreciated as we were home-bound a little more than we expected it to be. I’d rent this place again in a heartbeat

The property was very clean and exactly as described. There was a lingering cleaner scent when we first checked in, but it aired out quickly once we opened doors and windows. Austin was great at communicating with me, and very quick to answer questions and provide information on street parking. The location of the apartment was great—lots of activities around Columbia Heights, and close to the metro station.

The Stellar Cellar was clean, spacious, comfortable and conveniently located. The shower is excellent! And it was very convenient to be able to wash and dry our clothes before returning home. The owners were super responsive. I would definitely recommend and would come back again next time!

The apartment experience was as presented in the pictures. While being in a basement, it did not lack for light.The only fault in the rear bedroom was the lack of an ability to soften the lighting. An option from the in celling lights would have been appreciated. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood and parking our car was as easy as stated.

2 lovely days in CH

We popped up to DC for a heartbreakingly short stay but we absolutely loved it! The kitchen is well stocked with equipment for home meals, and the location is close to the metro station, restaurants and grocery stores! We had no problem navigating to the Smithsonian! Next time I plan a visit to DC I’m definitely going to be checking this VRBO availability first!

Great for family stay in DC

We loved our stay at this property!! We arrived late at night, but check-in was very easy and we had no problems at all. We loved the location of the apartment - easy walk to the metro, which we used all week to get to the monuments, Nationals Park, and all around town. We didn't spend much time in the apartment during the day, but it was cozy to come home to at night. We even tried a couple of neighborhood restaurants which we loved (recommend Red Rocks Pizza!). We were very comfortable with 2 adults & 2 teenage boys.
