This beautifully renovated in 2025 700 sq ft 1-bedroom in vibrant Columbia Heights offers the real Washington DC experience - not a sanitized tourist bubble, but genuine city living with character and charm.

Your Urban Outdoor Spaces
The magic happens outside: Our extended front porch is your box seat to taking in DC's colorful neighborhood life - watch locals gather, sip wine at sunset, smoke what's legal, and feel the city's pulse.
The private backyard hideaway offers an intimate escape with fire pit, grill, and designer furnishings. Both spaces welcome whatever helps you unwind (what's legal is good with us).
What to Expect:
✓ A genuine DC neighborhood - lively, diverse, real
✓ City sounds (we’re urban, not suburban)
✓ Professional cleaning between every guest
✓ Responsive local team for any needs
✓ Free street parking (first-come basis)

Pets welcome with fee
