About this property

Lovely Shaw Apartment - Sleeps 4, WALK to White House

OUR CALENDAR IS ACCURATE, IF THE SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO BOOK, THOSE DATES ARE AVAILABLE.

This QUIET gorgeous, newly renovated find with designer touches is perfect for your D.C. stay. With an unbeatable “walkscore” of 99, the apartment is super close to the Monuments, Museums, Mall, and White House (approx. 10 minutes by car). For those who prefer the metro, the nearest station (U Street) is very close — less than a 5-minute walk! If you're here for business or vacation, there's no better spot if you want a cozy and quite space.

Located in the trendy Shaw neighborhood, the apartment occupies the entire lower level of one of D.C.'s fabulous historic row homes on a tree-lined street. Our beautiful one-bedroom, air-conditioned apartment is ideal for single travelers, couples, or small families on vacation hoping to check D.C. off their bucket list!

For those visiting D.C. for work, the apartment is a short distance from major business attractions — with the Convention Center easily accessible by car (approx. 5 minutes), metro (approx. 10 minutes), and foot (approx. 20 minutes).

Amenities include:

Comfortably sleeps 4 guests in the queen-sized bed in the main bedroom (with its own en-suite bathroom), and the super comfy sofa bed in the living space.

Large kitchen with huge island, full-size refrigerator, and dishwasher, perfect for folks who love to cook up a storm! Trader Joe's is only an 8-minute walk on foot, so a quick pop-out for supplies is convenient.

Spacious living area for relaxing, and large, beautiful bay windows to enjoy a glass of wine and people watch to your heart’s content.

Large 43" SmartTV that lets you stream your favorite content from your Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney, HULU, and other accounts.

Peloton bike is in the apartment so you can stay up with your fitness routine. (No kids on the bike please!)

For those traveling with little ones, the apartment has a Pack ‘n Play with linens.

Some of the District’s best restaurants (Maydan, Le Diplomate, Dabney, and more!) are a short stroll away, so if you’re looking for a night off from cooking — this is THE place for you!

Great stay at good price!

Stayed for a week to see the sights around DC. The apartment was clean, quiet, and close to Trader Joe's, restaurants, and the best coffee we've had on a trip (the Coffee Bar is just a short walk away). Was a very pleasant stay!

Great location

The location was great, we used the metro and bus the whole trip with ease. Both were very close by. Self check in is fast and easy. Bed was comfortable. Head to the whole foods to get your basics; there was only instant coffee, not for me! Would recommend.

Wonderful property within walking distance to Capitol Hill. Communication with property owners was outstanding. They reserved the parking spot for us right in front of the building. Place was super nice and clean. Would definitely recommend anyone staying there.

Nice place neighborhood was Iffy

The place was well-cleaned and usable. We paid for a late hour until noon, but the cleaner knocked on the door at 10:00 and did not understand a word of English when I tried to explain that we had paid for the extra hours. My wife and I exited withing 20 minutes.

Wonderful location and stay

We enjoyed the lower level apartment immensely … five minute walk (if that) to the metro station … both bed and sofa bed were comfortable and the kitchen was very nice … close walk to Trader Joe’s for fridge stocking … bathroom and shower both clean and nice … We did have a slight issue with millipedes (slow crawling insects about an inch or so long) … we would see four to five a day making their slow trek across the floors but we left them alone and they left us alone :) … we just had to be mindful of where we were stepping at times … We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend the place to anyone needing a spot to stay in Washing DC :)

Great spot from which to explore DC!

The apartment was perfect for our needs. It was clean, spacious and in a great part of the city. We were able to walk or take public transportation to monuments, museums and the zoo. Charlotte gave us great advise on making those necessary reservations. Communication about the reservation were timely and professional. Stay here!

Great spot close to the metro

We enjoyed our DC trip immensely. This apartment is only a three minute walk to the U Street Metro stop on the green line, making it very convenient for getting around the city. The apartment was exactly as advertised and had everything we needed. We had some trouble with adjusting the heat, but received a prompt response and assistance from the host.

Great getaway

We had great interaction with the host before ever getting to the property. It was perfect size for the 2 of us. Nice kitchen so we were able to DoorDash groceries and cook most meals at home. Nice little place. Alarm system added peace of mind since unfamiliar with the area.
