About this property

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.

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
