Need help planning your stay? Just ask! We are more than happy to help, & provide an in-depth property guide stock full of helpful hints about the neighborhood, with our tips for making the most of your stay in DC!

Guest Access:
The unit is not shared. Guests will have access to the entire home.

The Neighborhood:
The Petworth neighborhood is newly trending and becoming popular with families and the younger DC crowd as it`s residential, but has great access to downtown. There is a true sense of community, and everyone looks out for each-other; porch culture reigns supreme, families pushing prams, and neighbors greeting each-other with smiles are common sightings!

You will find lots of great little eateries and coffee shops nestled among the tree lined streets. Lincoln`s Cottage (off of Rock Creek Church Road), where President Lincoln used to vacation when he wanted to get away from the city is a short stroll from the home. The nearby Rock Creek Cemetery dates back to 1712;  both the Cemetery and the Armed Forces Retirement Home are on the National Register of Historic Places. We have a property guide full of our favorite local recommendations.

Getting Around:
With a walk score of 94%, Buses flank the surrounding areas, and can take you all over the city, but exploring on foot is an easy option as well!
We are within 7 minutes on foot from the Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro Station (which follows the green and yellow lines). 
You can be at the Judiciary Square Metro Station  (under 30 minutes total transit time), which is nestled among the major sights, including the U.S. Capitol Building, the Smithsonian Museums, and the National Mall. 

Uber and Lyft taxi`s are plentiful in the area as well.

Other Things to Note:
We want you to make the most of your stay, so we've partnered with DC’s city tour company See DC Today to help ensure an amazing visit, at the best rate possible! Sit back and relax as the finest, most highly-trained and knowledgeable guides take you through the city, to soak up the surrounding history.
Feel free to give us a call to find out about the discounted rates we have secured for Home Sweet City's guests.

Weekend Getaway

It was a nice holiday weekend away with friends. Location was great - near restaurants and bars, the neighborhood was quiet, the rental was spacious and the kitchen was fully equipped - we were able to cook a dinner one night. Only one issue with the water heater but management was quick to respond and assist.

Great Location, Comfortable, Clean

The neighborhood feels safe, very walk-able, and 0.3 miles from a metro train station (Green line). Beds are comfortable, and the private area in the basement is a nice touch with the extra washer, drier, and range. Neighbors are quiet, and the kitchen is well stocked with plates and cutlery. Good strong internet connection.

Wonderful in Petworth

This is a beautiful property with plenty of room and is exactly as listed. It is clean and nicely stocked with everything we needed to make for a great time in DC. The beds were comfortable. We also liked its location, just three blocks from a Metro stop and three blocks from a Safeway. We did not want to leave and will definitely stay here if we are ever again in DC.

Perfect in Petworth

What a gem of a place to stay during our trip to DC. Cleaner than clean, well stocked, comfy beds, soft sheets and cushy towels, this house exceeded expectations. We didn’t use the downstairs unit but it was nice to know that it was there and unoccupied so we could have used it. We used the kitchen everyday for breakfast and dinner. It had everything we needed for cooking and Safeway was just down the street for food. We even had groceries delivered, wh oh was so convenient! The metro was short walk away and easy to navigate with the app. Parking was a deal breaker for our rental, so we appreciated having parking spaces behind the house. (Just a warning though … looks like many DC driveways are accessed by alley ways. The alley at the house was quite narrow and took us a few attempts to park a large rental SUV.) Overall, fantastic rental. This was heads above any hotels were we could have stayed in. recommended l
