About this property

Modern Two-Bedrooms Flat in Shaw - The Heart of DC

Walk everywhere from this spacious first-floor (English basement) apartment with a separate entrance. It is located in Shaw, historic neighborhood, which is central from the nightlife and restaurants of Shaw, Bloomingdale, 14th Street, and Chinatown and just a few blocks from the Convention Center. Metro is about a 10-minute walk. This 2 bedroom/1 bathroom unit is great for individuals, couples, business travelers, and families. It includes access to a full kitchen as well as a washer and dryer.

This lovely apartment can comfortably sleep six people. There are queen beds in each of the two bedrooms and a pullout couch in the living room for additional sleeping arrangement. All beds have European-style sheets (fitted sheet on the bottom and a duvet cover on the top). The bedrooms are far apart so each set of occupants have plenty of privacy. There is a plethora of street parking around the apartment.

Great Value in Good Location
Strengths:•Easy and free street parking•Convenient to Capital One Arena, Convention Center, and Shaw neighborhood•Nicely equipped apartment with comfortable beds•Lots of seatingWeaknesses:•Basement apartment with low ceilings – not for tall people – cramped bathroom, and poor sound isolation from floor above– difficult locks and doorknobs– entry is from rat-infested alleyOverall, we enjoyed our stay. It was a very good base for traveling to the Mall, Penn Triangle, Columbia Heights, Shaw, etc.

DC Trip
The location is fabulous. It is short walk to a metro station. One block down as you walk, you can see the Capital! We were easily able to have meals and groceries delivered. We walked around to the front and met the delivery drivers. The entrance to the basement apartment is around in the back through an alley. The alley is well lit and it felt secure. There were young children in the home above that you could hear but it was never at a time when we were trying to rest. The apartment was well equipped and clean. My niece might be back in DC over the summer. We would definitely consider staying at this location again. We were 5 adults and there was plenty of space. The ceiling is low. That is what you get with a basement apartment. Everyone in our group was under 6 foot so this was not an issue for us. The apartment was nice to return to after several long days of site seeing. You get a good feel for what it would be like to live in the area. We recommend this location.

The entrance had a few surprise steps but overall a great location. We found close free parking. It’s a basement apartment that had ample paper products and linens. Also we had good water pressure.

Nice apartment
The apartment is nice and clean. You can hear the family living upstairs but that did not bother us. It's easy to catch public transportation from the surrounding area and there are many restaurants nearby. Unfortunately the check-in requires data or cell coverage in the USA, and we were only informed about that on the day we wanted to check in. That is not suitable for anyone who does not have an American cell/data contract such as many internationals.

Just what we needed!
This place had everything we needed for our week long stay in DC! Close to many bus stops to get us to where we needed to be and it felt secure. The only thing that I could nitpick on would be how thin the walls were - we could hear the family upstairs having conversations, the dog running around, and their young child crying. Other then that, everything was great and our host was kind and accommodating!

Bite in the night!
We arrived to the front door of this property and were then directed to a narrow dark entrance at the rear, this included a few downward steps which was a little tricky with our luggage. the apartment is compact and comfortable, well presented and had everything required for a pleasant stay. unfortunately we had some unwanted visitors in our bed, BEDBUGS, confirmed by doctor. Host appeared concerned and "immediately sent an inspector in, no visible evidence was found and a preventative treatment was done" maybe the next guests will be a little more lucky than me who had to endure the nasty reaction taken to the bites and a £285 medical bill!

Family visit to DC
Good location in quiet neighborhood. Very secure alley entry. LOVED the convenience of the washer/dryer as our stay was for several nights. Only complaint was the upstairs child running around in the mornings and evenings which was occasionally quite loud. But aside from that it was an excellent stay!

Great Value
Our stay was nice, the area was walkable for dinners, and a short drive to the national mall area. Plenty of parking. It was fairly clean, and had almost everything you would need. A sponge in the kitchen and a coffee maker would be great adds. Being a basement apartment, there is some noise from upstairs, we had one morning where it started at 3 and was enough to wake me and the kids (husband slept fine 😁).

DC Girls Trip
I went on a girls weekend trip with some friends to explore DC. This place was a perfect spot for us to stay for the price. Not as close as if you stayed at a hotel downtown but it was easy to grab an Uber or walk to the metro. The place was very clean and had everything we needed! The host was lovely and always responsive.

Historical Stay
Great location in an area of beautiful historical brick homes close to Capitol, White house, museums and more. Good restaurants very close to flat. It is a basement apartment so lighting is somewhat limited. Noise from upper flat was an issue at times.

Fairly accurate
The property host was amazing. The property is close to two different metro stations and many restaurants and coffee shops. Check in and out was easy. However, you should note that there is no coffee maker - it’s an espresso machine, no toaster, the carpets in the bedrooms are very dirty, and the rats are huge - especially at night when the walkway to the door is poorly lit. Some of these things the host can control, some not, so not huge issues. But note, if you want to go to bed early or sleep in late, bring earplugs which will dampen the noise from above. The earplugs will help with the noise, but not with the vibrations from the ceiling. Overall good experience.

Amazing location
The place was just as in the photos, but what you can't see in the photos was how clean it was. Mother-In-Law-coming-to-visit level of clean. The beds were soft. The one in the bedroom with dark wood had a solid foam mattress and the other was a regular bed. The location was great. We'd had e-scooters delivered and it was less than a mile to the mall. We were far enough out that parking was easy, but close enough that it was easy to get to the tourist stuff. The entrance is just a little inside an alley. Parking on the street just outside the alley was always available. Since parking was so easy, we used our car more than I'd planned. That the washer/dryer was combined in one unit was an initial shock. We arrived midway through a two-week trip so had a lot of dirty clothes. But after we got used to it, it was nice. Our selections made the load take 3 hours. But, since it also dried the clothes it wasn't a problem for them to sit in there. So, we'd start a load before we left every day. There was everything we needed in the kitchen. I brought own soap, but it was there also.

We enjoyed being fairly close to the capital area and a little over 1/2 mile to hop on a subway. Many food options and a grocery store within walking distance. We really only spent nights in the apartment, but everyone seemed to sleep well! Everything was clean and ready for us.

Just right in DC
This was a super clean place and conveniently located close to all I wanted to see. The alley entrance made it easier to be able to drive right up and drop off luggage and out for a quick exit. It was a bit frustrating at times finding parking but then no one should rent a car in DC.! Kamala was a great host and let us check out a bit later after my father took a spill out by the steps. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location. But.....
The inside of the house was okay but having to walk through rats in a ally with no outside lights was scary. There was no heat in the restroom or main living area.
