About this property

Charming & Lovely Remolded 4 Bedroom Home

The best choice for traveling families, students, interns, and business professionals coming to DC!

The location is very convenient to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center which is located above the Mount Vernon Metro station. The Convention Center is about a 15 minute walk to/from the house!

The Shaw Metro station is 3 blocks to the apartment. The largest grocery store in DC (Giant Foods) is about a 10-15 minutes walk on P and 8th street.

This is a large house with four bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms have king beds and the smaller bedroom has a trundle bed with two twin beds. There are 3 full bathrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and the second full bath serves for the other bedrooms upstairs. There is a full bath on the first floor as well. This house has a modern kitchen with high end stainless steel appliances, and a large dining room. This house is newly renovated with an open floor plan. The living room has pocket doors allowing you to close off the room, converting it to a private bedroom with a convertible sofa bed. The full bathroom is just a few steps away from the living room and has doors opening, to both, the dining room and the hallway.There is a LED TV plus a 3D BluRay DVD player with smart apps in the living room. There is a separate two bedroom ground level apartment (no stairs) with its own kitchen and a full bath. The ground level apartment sleeps at maximum 6 people, which is rented separately, but could be rented together with the upstairs unit adding to the capacity of the house.

Lovely big house
Alan and Juliet were very good at communicating each time we needed something. They really wanted us to have a great time. The property is nicely maintained. The rooms are spacious. The kitchen has everything you need for a long stay. Overall, it was the perfect place for our group of visiting scholars. We will come back.

Great location, nice property
The location was great, a short uber to the National Mall and area sights. The bones, decor, and layout of the house were great for our group of 7, two of which were children. Any more than that would be too crowded. We all enjoyed the property very much, with one exception. The furniture could stand some improvements. Three of the four platform beds had the platform slats fall, therefore the mattresses fell and had to be fixed as best we could do. The property owners were responsive and did offer to come in to check on it, but I could tell it would not be a simple fix, so we made due the duration of our stay and were super careful getting into bed. Mattresses were comfortable. The living room sofa and furniture were really very uncomfortable, and the room did not seat more than 5. I think with a little creativity and new furniture, that could be improved upon. Overall though, we enjoyed the property and would stay again.

Wonderful location and very clean apartment
The checking process was very easy. Great communication with the host. Everything the host mention concerning the unit is completely accurate concerning the unit and location. The host check in on us durning our our stay to ensure everything is going smoothly. Kitchen fully equipped with appliances, we cooked breakfast every morning. Parking I thought was going to be a huge problem since we had a disable child, but it ended up working out for each day. The stairs are definitely steep so be careful. Wonderful home and wonderful host.

Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful property on a gorgeous tree lined block. Perfect location, quiet, family - friendly neighborhood with lots of amenities. Short walk to cute bistros and restaurants. Quick ride to Capitol, and downtown area. It was a nice day so we walked! Communication was seemless, and Juliet was a delight. She answered any questions I had immediately. Would definitely stay here on my next trip to the area!

Great place for a big group
We had three generations stay here for a Thanksgiving trip to DC: four grandparents, two parents, and two teenagers. There are very few rentals that can comfortably accommodate 8 people, but this place fit the bill. General Info: The house is very cool- it was built in the 1880s but majorly renovated in the relatively recent past. The kitchen appliances are high end (it has a large Viking oven/range, a full sized refrigerator, and an under counter microwave with a motorized drawer). There's also a large dining room table. These features were key because we had Thanksgiving dinner at the house. I couldn't find any other rentals where we could have pulled this off. Comfort: The beds were all comfortable. The bed in the back bedroom is fairly close to the wall, so it's a little difficult to get in and out of bed. However, that's a small price to pay to have a king bed. The room with the trundle beds has two doors: one "regular" door that leads to the upstairs hallway, and a "pocket" door that connects to the master bedroom. Maybe it used to be a closet for the master bedroom? Regardless, it's a slightly awkward setup. Not a big deal, just a little weird. The bathrooms have been updated and were fine. The stairs are fairly steep, but we took it slow and didn't have any trouble. The wood floors creak, and there are windows above some bedroom doors, allowing light to enter. Having a washer and dryer was a great plus. There is a fire station a block or two away, so we did hear an occasional siren. The house is on a pretty quiet residential street, but it is near an intersection with a larger street so there is some car noise at times. Safety: The neighborhood was in line with what I expected. There was a new Porsche SUV parked in front virtually the whole time we were there, and the grocery store down the street had some shady characters hanging out in front. That kind of contrast seems to be typical in DC. There isn't much separation between the "good" areas and the "other" areas. I walked to the supermarket both during the day and at night with no issues, but it is a big city and you should stay aware of your surroundings. Getting Around: A couple of the grandparents in our group have some difficulty walking, so we Ubered just about everywhere. Uber rides to places like the Capitol and the Mall were usually under $10 and we could get to the major sites within 15 minutes. Overall, we would not hesitate to come back.

Enjoyable stay at Shaw home
Our family of 8 enjoyed staying in the Shaw property. We had every amenity necessary to sleep, shower, cook and relax when we weren’t seeing the sights of Washington. Location near the metro and a Giant grocery made staying there efficient. Good communication with host. It is a lovely home away from home!

Exciting trip to DC
We had a great time in DC. This house is very nice and spacious. We enjoyed ourselves very much. The owners are attentive and extra courteous. They make you feel very welcomed to their property. Everything is well stocked and most everything is in great order and condition. I would have given this property 5 stars but even though the owner came in to try to fix the downstairs sofa bed, it was still unusable. My brother (70 yrs old) had to sleep on the floor with the extra mattress from the upstairs trundle. The pocket door in the living room did not close like advertised so we were unable to create the "bedroom" downstairs as well. Other than that, the parking is extremely difficult around the property as well if you rent a car. I would say that was the biggest headache on a daily basis. This is the perfect property for a group of 7.

Lovely home; 3 bathrooms a plus!
Responsive owner, nice bathrooms, workable kitchen, 3 kIng bedrooms were comfy, as was the twin (but the twin trundle is really awkward). Only downside is living room seats 5 comfortably - others will be on floor or hard chairs. Easy walk to grocery store (Giant), coffee shop (Compass) and gelato (near Giant.) Saw a few homeless people on the streets, nice neighbors; never felt unsafe. DC is an amazing city!

Beautiful home...not an ideal location
The home is lovely, it’s appointed for a rental so you will feel like you are in a rental property. The configuration is 3 large bedrooms and one small room with a twin and trundle. It doesn’t sleep ten (not that we had ten) it sleeps 8 at most. Two bathrooms upstairs and a full downstairs. We used this home for a corporate retreat and found the location in DC a little less desirable than our other choices, beside a school and it was fairly loud on the front part of the house. The house was just as it appears in photos. I’m not sure if this is a VRBO requirement or an owner choice but I didn’t like that we had to pay in full a month before arrival. We would choose a more luxurious spot for our next retreat. Owner was responsive and nice prior, we didn’t need anything while we were on site.

Great family gathering place
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The townhouse was perfect for our family Thanksgiving gathering. There were six of us - 5 adults and 1 child. The space was perfect for us-lots of room, comfortable furnishings, well equipped kitchen, convenient to stores and restaurants and transportation. We will consider the space again the next time we come to D.C.

Nice Home
The house suited our family of 6 adults who were arriving from different parts of the world. The house is easy to find and close to public transport which we used for our week in DC. The house was clean and the kitchen was a great space, with plenty of room and a variety of cooking utensils & cookware to provide meals for the family. We enjoyed our time in the house, it could be a little noisy because of sirens but that is part of being in the middle of a city and this didn't cause a problem with sleeping as the beds are comfortable and the curtains were very good at blocking out the light.

Worked great for our family event
We were joined by four of our adult kids for a family event in DC. This rental worked out great for us. Allen, the owner, was there when we arrived and gave us the tour. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped, plenty of room for six adults. The neighborhood is transitional but definitely on the way up. We had zero problems. Shaw, the neighborhood it's in is home to some of the best new dining in DC and a short drive to the big DC attractions. Giant grocery store is a few blocks walk away.

We are RITZY RENTALS (feel free to look us up!) My name is Allen and my daughter Juliet helps me manage our properties! The red head in the photo is my wife, Ana, who also helps us :)

Our family has been living in the DC metro area for over 36 years and we absolutely love it. Washington DC is a great city for people coming here to learn, study, or grow themselves and their career! We have been hosting tourists, interns, students, medical professionals, and business folks for over 10 years. We have a lot of experience hosting and we are looking forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

This is a unique apartment. We gutted out the old house and redid the entire house including the lower floor. Everything you see here is less than a year old and it is designed with great care, taste and quality. We are extremely proud of the work we did on making this home :)!

What makes this property unique

There are tons of shops, restaurants, and bars to go to that are in walking distance to the unit. There is also a grocery store (Giant Foods) down the street from the unit (7 minute walk).
