About this property

Cozy English Basement Guesthouse

My guesthouse is close to Fort Totten Metro Station, dining & shopping on Upshur Avenue in Petworth, and a 10 minute cab drive to the popular U Street Corridor. You’ll love my place because of easy it's access to buses and the subway. Great for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. It sleeps two comfortably with a queen size bed and twin futon sofa bed. The tree lined neighborhood is quiet. There is ample parking if you are driving a car on your trip.

This was the second time staying, and it was still an amazing experience. One thing was that the big standing fan we used last time for air circulation was broken, but the little one worked well enough to make us comfortable. There was also hair clogging the shower before we arrived, which had to be cleared for the shower to drain. Overall experience was still good apart from these two things.

Washington DC base for exploring

We used the guesthouse as our base to explore DC. We walked to Fort Totten metro train station, about a 15 minute walk, and it was ideal. We used the stove to cook at night and big fridge was great.

Great base for exploring DC

I enjoyed staying here. It was the right size and convenient to both the bus and Metro for going downtown to see the sights. The kitchen had tea and snacks, which were a godsend until I could get to a store. The unit was a bit warm at times

Perfect getaway

Perfect place for a quick getaway to enjoy all that DC has to offer. Directions were clear and place fit the 2 of us. We were so exhausted from our adventures the noise from above did not bother us - similar to living in an apartment and hearing footsteps and chairs

Although a good experience. The host was a bit strict on wanting the window AC being turned off when not at the VRBO. Which was fine, but took a while to cool down when got back to the place.

Very nice vacation spot

About a 15 minute walk to metro which is convenient for going downtown. Small enough for 2 people to stay. I wish the kitchen had a bigger pot and a cookie sheet to use.
