Colorful DC w/ Free St. Parking - Great Location / Spacious / English Basement

Located in the heart of the lively Atlas District, this colorful, one-bedroom BASEMENT apartment boasts walking distant to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, coffee shops, farmers market, and parks of the revitalized H Street corridor and Union Market. You'll be a 30 second walk to buses, which go directly to Chinatown/White House/Smithsonians and the free DC Streetcar, which will take you down H St or up to Union Station; a great home base to explore DC!

WE ARE BACK! After a long hiatus and renovation during the pandemic, the Colorful DC Hideaway is freshly painted, newly floored, and happy to be hosting again.

Free street parking visitor pass available by request. Street parking is first come, first served but the visitor pass enables it's barer to park in any unmetered parking space in the vicinity of the Airbnb.

Enjoy this fun and stylishly furnished 845 sq/ft (79 sq/m) apartment. The vibrant space has a DC theme and a cozy atmosphere. Wash off the city after a long day of sightseeing by enjoying the relaxing massage of body jets and a rain shower. Or take it easy and watch TV in bed while the kids watch their shows in the living room.

If you have little ones, no need to bring extra gear. We have a pack-n-play for them to sleep in (or to contain them), some toys for them to play with, DVD/Blu-ray player and assorted videos, kid’s plates/cups/cutlery, a changing mat, a washer and dryer to clean off the "fun" they had in DC, and several other items available by request (folding canvas hi-chair, inflatable infant bath, portable infant bassinet, and folding toddler stroller - these items are shared between multiple properties and available on a first come-first served basis).

Make breakfast in the kitchen with the fresh ingredients you bring back from Whole Foods (only 2 blocks west) or Saturday's farmer's market (5 blocks east) before touring our pedestrian-friendly city. Enjoy complimentary coffee or tea before facing the day

We provide a guest welcome book with information on nearby places to eat and drink, how to operate the different features of your rental, and loaner SmarTrip cards to use on the metro or bus during your stay (which may even have some money left over from a previous guest).

The owners wanted to make this space something they would be happy and comfortable living in themselves and hope you will feel the same!
