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!

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.

Great base for visiting Wash DC
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The neighborhood is old, but well-kept. We were concerned at first when we approached the apartment. But don’t let the exterior fool you. Inside, the apartment is well-appointed, nicely furnished, well-equipped, and very clean. Our host, Charlotte, was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. She was a delight to work with. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The Metro was just a few blocks away. Overall, a very good choice for us.

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!

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.

First time in DC
The apartment was very nicely appointed and clean. The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. We had a few small issues and Charlotte was quick to respond. Be aware the one bathroom is attached to the bedroom. If you have additional guests using the pull out sofa, they must walk through the bedroom to access the bathroom. The apartment is walkable to pretty much everything. However, the walk can be anywhere from 1.5 miles to almost 4 miles (Jefferson Memorial) to your destination NOT including the walk back. You also need to account for all the walking that you do when you get to your destination, including back to the apartment. There were 3 of us and we took an Uber to our destination in the morning ($12-20) spent the day sightseeing, ate dinner, and walked back to the apartment. We walked anywhere from 4-6 miles a day 5 days in a row. Probably not practical with small children or those not capable of walking long distances and being on your feet for most of the day. Trader Joe's is a 0.4 mile walk. If you like ice cream, Jeni's Homemade Ice cream is across the street from Trader Joe's. We parked our car on the street right outside the apartment and never moved it for 6 days!

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 :)

Unlike a hotel or inn, we could start our day as we do at home. The apartment was beautifully furnished and comfortable. The Metrorail was a block and a half away and many wonderful restaurants within walking distance. Thank you to Charlotte for being available when I had questions!

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.

The Best VRBO Experience EVER!
This was the best VRBO experience we've had in the past 4 years. Our check-in process was easy and quick. Charlotte was super helpful in getting us a parking pass for on-street parking. Thankfully we had no issue finding a space directly across from the apartment. The apartment was even better than it looked in the photos. It felt like home. We walked to Trader Joe's the first night and bought food to cook at the apartment. Can we just talk about the high-quality cookware? It was better than what I have at home. The had spices on hand and even Sleepy Time tea for the evening on hand. The other nights we walked 2-3 blocks (not far) and had our pick off dozens of wonderful restaurants to choose from. We recommend trying Supra (a Georgia restaurant) not far from the apartment. Delicious food and wine..great service too. The location of the apartment to the Metro station made accessing all the museums and landmarks a breeze. I would recommend this apartment to anyone 10 out of 10.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was perfect for me as a single traveller and was as described. Clean, well appointed and quiet. I would rent again.The only issue was the owner's company and its interface with VRBO, which created communication challenges. Both VRBO and the property manager were responsive through their separate emails/phone numbers, but the confusion was never fully resolved and I couldn't communicate through the VRBO site.
