Our apartment has 2 bedrooms each with a queen bed and a lovely new queen sofa-bed in the living space, providing comfortable sleeping for a family or group of up to 6 people.  The bathroom (accessible by all from the hallway) is beautiful with a walk in shower and plenty of space.

There is a family living upstairs. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life.

Please be aware that there is a small patio at the front of the apartment included with the rental, but the backyard is NOT included for guest use.

Buses and trolleys teem the area for those needing a break from exploring on foot! Lyft and Uber rides are plentiful and bike shares too. 

Pennsylvania Avenue is surrounded by some of the most iconic restaurants in DC!  A short walk from the home is the Eastern Market;  DC's original and premier food & arts market, the market is DC's destination for fresh food, community events, and on weekends it comes alive with local farm-fresh produce and handmade art and craft stalls and a flea market.

Absolutely spectacular!

We loved everything about this place! The unit was spotless upon arrival and was well appointed with all the basic necessities. The space accommodated our family of four and even included child friendly dinnerware. We will be staying here again. Thank you for making our weekend getaway a pleasure!

Great location an accommodation!

This was an adorable apartment that was perfect for my stay to visit my daughter who lives in the neighborhood. It really had everything you could want. The only reason I did not give it five stars was because you could hear the apartment above. It was a family with kids above running back-and-forth during the day and at 6:15 am I heard the adult leaving for work. You can’t fault them for living their life though!

The unit was great. That’s why I rated it high. The one fault that could easily be corrected was that the hot water was not hot enough.

Great stay! Saw a lot!

We had a great stay! Squeezed in with our two kids under two! Pack and plays were provided for an extra charge and it worked out perfect! It’s small so it was cozy with the kids stuff all set up but perfect location to walk all over! We had a great time!

Beautiful apartment and lovely location!

We had a wonderful visit at this basement apartment. Everything felt fresh and clean inside, and it was just a 3 minute walk to the playground and a 10-15 minute walk to yummy coffee and other local restaurants. It was quiet and calm. Thank you for hosting us!

Mismanaged though nice stay

There is a reason why this listing doesn't have any VRBO reviews, and that is because the management company who operates the listing is terrible. I did not receive any information on the listing, including how to get into the stay until I called several times the day I arrived (which was in 16* weather). I waited for over twenty minutes to access the stay, and when I got in the internet did not work and the host clearly had never been in the listing to know where items (ie router) were. The coffee pot never worked, I didn't receive information on parking until I was looking at a printed page in the stay. The stay was cute but all of this mismanagement left a sour taste in my mouth. To the hosts, stay on top of your listings so this does not happen to another unfortunate soul.
