About this property

Contemporary Home in Shaw/ U Street

Summary:
This Modern home has 5 bedrooms, 2 upstairs and 3 in the lower level. A newly renovated walk-out back patio, kitchen, and living room. Top off that contemporary luxury with all of the conveniences you are looking for. The condo is one block away from the metro, which can get you near the Capitol in under 15 minutes. Not to forget that the condo is surrounded by the city's best bars, shops, and restaurants in the popular U Street/Shaw neighborhoods!

The Space:
This listing is for the entire home (upper and lower levels). All 5 bedrooms have a queen bed comfy for a good night rest. There is a full size kitchen with all the essentials you will need. There is a nice patio to enjoy the warmer weather, and amazing access to food all around the building - feel free to ask for recommendations. I hope you enjoy your stay!

Guest Access:
You can access the home through the lower level of the home. There are stairs that will lead you upstairs.

The Neighborhood:
This home is near some of the best restaurants and nightlife in the city (I am happy to provide recommendations!). It is lively on weekend nights! There is a Whole Foods 5 minutes away and a number of great music venues nearby. Don't forget to stop by Compass Coffee right next door, their coffee is great.

Getting Around:
This home does not have dedicated parking, but there is street parking all around the building and there is a public parking garage at the Atlantic Plumbing building right up the street if that helps. The metro is also just one block away, which will help you explore the rest of the city too!

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.

Interaction with Guests:
The unit is professionally cleaned so that it is safe for your arrival. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to make sure you have a great stay.

Wedding celebration

We were family (6) in town for a wedding celebration. This house was a perfect size for us (number of bedrooms and more importantly bathrooms). Also the location was very convenient to the locations for the various parts of the celebration. Plumbing issues addressed promptly by the host but fortunately only appeared towards the end. Front bedroom quite noisy and neighborhood has its issues, but very convenient to Whole Foods, CVS and many restaurants. Overall quite nice.
