About this property

Luxury 3BR+Parking | Heart of DC | Steps to Metro

Welcome to The District Dwelling! Located in the ♡ of DC in one of the city’s hottest neighborhoods, our historic row home in Columbia Heights is your perfect base while you explore the nation’s capital!

You'll enjoy a combination of history & charm with modern amenities that will make your stay unforgettable. With popular restaurants, bars, shops and the metro just a short walk away, the home’s 3-BR, 2-BA layout is ideal for entertaining families, groups of friends and traveling professionals!

Our historic, Victorian-inspired home has all of the comforts & luxuries you'll want or need during your stay in the city. When you're not monument hopping or taking in the many wonders of the District, you'll find this oasis has everything you could need to enjoy your time spent indoors. With a neighborhood Walk Score of 96, Columbia Heights places all of DC's attractions right at your fingertips!

This space embodies the perfect balance of stylish, upscale design with historic beauty - and it's fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and amenities.

BEDROOMS:
Our apartment has 3 bedrooms and can sleep up to 6 guests.

In the master, you'll be met with the best night's sleep you've ever had - and the secret is a Queen sized green tea memory foam mattress, paired with plush pillows, luxury sheets and comforter. Don't be shy when packing - a dresser and closet space is available to unpack your suitcase and stay awhile.

The hall bedroom will greet you with yet another Queen size green tea memory foam mattress and luxury bedding. In this room, there is ample closet storage space and a small dresser for clothing items.

In the third bedroom, you'll find a Full-sized - you guessed it - green tea memory foam mattress with all of the luxurious bedding detailed above.

All linens are provided and extra blankets are available for your use. Premium white noise machines are available in each bedroom to ensure a great night's sleep!

BATHROOMS:
A fully renovated ensuite bathroom is attached to the master bedroom, including a shower, toilet, sink and vanity space.

The second full bathroom offers a combination shower and bathtub, toilet, sink and shelving space to store all of your toiletries.

We provide the basics like toilet paper and towels, but you'll also find amenities like shampoo, soap, lotion, a magnifying mirror, makeup remover wipes and organic bamboo facial cleansing cloths. Leave your hair dryer at home - we have that too!

KITCHEN:
After long days of hitting the town, there will be no doubt that you've worked up an appetite. Head to the fully-equipped, updated kitchen to find stainless steel appliances, beautiful granite countertops, and a gas range.

Start your morning off right at the coffee bar. You'll find everything you need to enjoy your morning joe. A Keurig coffee maker with your choice of pods is available to you. Or perhaps you consider yourself a coffee connoisseur & you have the opinion that true, ground coffee tastes better... We get that - and that's why we have fresh grounds and a french press available as well. Prefer tea over coffee? There's a hot water kettle and an array of teas to choose from.

Pots, pans, baking dishes and cooking utensils are provided so you'll have everything you need to whip up a feast. If you have guests to impress, you'll find full place settings, wine glasses and champagne glasses in the cabinets.

Should you feel the need to do the dishes on vacation, clean-up is a breeze with a dishwasher and cleaning products provided.

If the idea of preparing a meal has you shaking in your boots, then have no fear - we're surrounded by DC's most popular restaurants, cafes and bars, many within walking distance. We're happy to share recommendations!

Feel free to use the brand new, energy-efficient Samsung washer and dryer as needed during your stay.

LIVING ROOM:
The ultimate spot to experience the charm of a historic home. An exposed brick fireplace, high ceilings, hardwood floors and bay windows make this space an architectural paradise.

The living room provides you with the opportunity to "Choose Your Own Adventure". You can...
A) Stretch out, relax and enjoy your favorite snacks while choosing a movie from the Smart HDTV
B) Enjoy an evening glass of wine or a morning cup of coffee in one of the two lounge chairs located in the bay windows that overlook neighboring rowhomes
C) Catch up on some work at the desk, with enough room for a laptop and extra documents. Our high-speed internet promises that you can join your next Zoom meeting without fear of any disruption.

DINING SPACE:
A modern fixture overlooks a long table with six chairs, providing you with enough space to host everyone in one spot for dinner.

Bar stools provide the perfect spot for a casual breakfast or for mingling with your group's chef while a meal is prepared in the kitchen.

PARKING:
There is free parking available for two cars at the rear of our home in the driveway, protected and monitored 24/7 by an exterior Ring Floodlight Cam. No car? No problem, our central location means you'll be walking distance from some of DC's most popular eateries and shops. The closest metro station is a six-minute walk away.

Home away from home

Property management very attentive to needs and accommodating of requests. Place was clean, simply but elegantly furnished, homey. Loved the provision of nice toiletries, sheets, towels. I totally understand the reviews about the mattress! After a long day of exploring gorgeous DC, it was wonderful to come home to all this and rest on that bed. It was nice walking around the area and there were lots of places to eat/grab a bite nearby. The place made our trip memorable and comfortable. Would definitely recommend to any family and friend/s looking to visit DC.

Wonderful Stay

We were in town for a brief stay as part of my sister's birthday. Ashley and Brian were super communicative, making sure we got in OK and everything was in order--they even left a Happy Birthday message for my sister. The place was perfect! Well kept and nicely furnished. On-site parking was so convenient. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect Gem in DC

We were in DC to celebrate our daughters college graduation and Mother’s Day. The location couldn’t have been better. Having the opportunity to bring the family together and have a resting place in between all activities was perfect. The home was carefully curated and provided all the conveniences you would need. The hosts supported us every step of the way and helped with some last minute requests. Thank you.

Family Reunion

Great location and property. The pictures represent well. The 2nd bathroom has a jacuzzi tub and that is worth the price of admission, already! The only mention that doesn't get a 5 star is the couch/ TV viewing area. The couch looks great but isn't functional for longer periods of "hanging out" on it. We would book again!

Amazing

We have stayed in vacation rentals by owner all over the country and few even internationally. District Dwelling is possibly the best so far for location, beauty, comfort, and amenities. Every comfort has been anticipated - coffee, snacks, incredibly comfortable beds, great water pressure in the shower and jets in the bathtub! On-site parking sold us on this stay and made seeing the sites so much easier. Brian went above and beyond as a host. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Great Family Vacation Spot

For a family of 5 with 3 teenagers, it was the perfect spot. The 3 bedrooms were perfect for our needs, nice kitchen to cook a dinner, and washer/dryer to wash our clothes prior to moving on to our next stop. They tried to think of everything including earplugs in case you needed them. I only heard the upstairs guests once I woke up and only at reasonable times, never disturbed our sleep. Walking distance to Target and Trader Joes. The owners checked in with us multiple times to make sure we were doing well. Only complaint was the check out time wasn't shared with us until the night before. Fortunately, we were planning on leaving at noon, so it wasn't too much trouble to pivot and be out by 11, but the clean up crew was there right at 11.

Everything we needed for a comfortable stay

Just as advertised, nicely appointed, clean, clean, clean, great linens, and the beds—oh my! Everything in a listing can be perfect, but if the beds aren't comfortable, little else matters. These beds were so comfortable my husband wants to throw out our perfectly good mattresses and buy this brand. I really should be annoyed because this will cost me more money, but thanks for the really restful sleep. Great showers, 5 adults and we never ran out of hot water. Super host was indeed super—when the french press was missing from the kitchen, he dropped off a coffee maker right away. Thanks Brian! p.s., let me know the brand of mattress, my husband is serious about buying one...

Nice!

We enjoyed our stay here. The host is very responsive and that was appreciated. There is some noise you hear from the tenants above you but it was not intrusive and did not bother us. For us it was a non issue. The front bedroom does have more street noise if you are a light sleeper. There is a convenience store at the end of the street that was handy to pick up bottled water and such. Just a couple of minutes to walk there. We used the Metro often. It was about a 7 or 8 minute walk. It was also very convenient that Target is across the street from the Metro so we often stopped in there after sight seeing to pick up groceries if we decided to cook that night. Also on your walk back from the Metro you will pass Krispy Kreme donuts, Taco Bell, Chick Filet, a 7-11, and several street vendors selling food. It’s nicely decorated and they provide shampoo and body wash. The kitchen had everything we needed including some spices. Also included are paper towels, laundry soap, dish washer soap etc. The neighbor is mixed as is typical in urban living. Some of the brownstones are very nice. Some are not. But overall it is a safe area that I would recommend. We really enjoyed coming back to such a nice and comfortable place with 3 bedrooms and room to spread out. I would guess that it took about 10 minutes once on the Metro to get to the center part of the city for sight seeing. Overall I really liked it!

We primarily chose this home for the neighborhood and because on street parking passes were included. We needed something as close as possible to university for a first college move in to go smoothly, we could literally take a nice walk to her dorm building. The home was bright and inviting for our family of 6. We appreciated the necessities provided such as kitchen supplies, bath toiletries, board games and other little touches to make a stay feel like home. We were able to walk to Whole Foods with our little wagon for groceries, and cooked great meals often for breakfast and dinner. Our adult daughters walked to a fun night out on the town with friends, felt safe (but always stayed aware) and had a great time. We always found parking close by, at times right in front of the home. Parking is important in DC and thankfully we had no issues. As with any multiple unit dwelling, daily life could be heard at times mostly mornings but we were not at all bothered..we probably had to adjust our laughter and fun much more not to disturb anyone. I will say the hosts were awesome, I texted very late and got an immediate answer about parking, and they kept in contact to make sure our stay was flawless. If you are into having a TV in every room, this is not it ( we barely watch TV ) so for us one TV was perfect. In summary We had hot showers, cool AC, a clean stocked home, very comfortable beds, convenient parking, and a great vibrant neighborhood with awesome hosts. A
