Above Maxwell Wine Bar - Super Central 2Bed 2Bath!

Summary:
Welcome to On Top of Maxwell. Upon entering the home you will be drawn to relax on the living room couch. The chef in you will be inspired by the fully equipped kitchen, and you can enjoy your meal at the dinning room table. Don't want to cook? No problem- you are going to be staying near some of DC's best restaurants within walking distance. Each bedroom has a queen bed and lots of storage space to unpack and stay awhile. Two full size bathrooms, one in the hallway, and one en suite to the primary bedroom.

The Space:
This is the perfect space for your DC stay. Located right across the street from the DC Convention Center, yellow/green line metro stop, and literally, right on top of Maxwell, one of DC's most popular restaurants'. Guests have the run of the second floor apartment. It is fit for four people, with two comfy thick queen sized mattresses. The space offers full bathroom, full kitchen with a coffee maker and microwave. There is a Smart TV in the living space, so guests can stream from their personal accounts and never miss an episode! The apartment is professionally cleaned before each stay.
Nestled between Shaw and Logan Circle, On Top of Maxwell sits just steps from the historic Naylor Court and Blagden Alley.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire second level unit. It is not shared.

The Neighborhood:
Guests will undoubtedly find themselves nestled in one of the most historic, and sought after neighborhoods in the city! The home is located right on O Street and 9th Street, right across the street from the DC convention center.  The area offers a diverse selection of entertainment, dining options, shopping, coffee shops and grocery stores. Whole Foods is a 10 min walk and Trader Joe`s is 15 minutes on foot. The 14th St. dining scene really has become the culinary center for the city with all kinds of diverse cuisines ranging from chic and trendy to the hole-in-wall hidden treasures, French, Asian, Spanish, to Oyster Bars, Diners and much more. You`ll want to take advantage of some of our favorite local recommendations.

This downtown neighborhood is in the thick of all the action; walking distance to all the new and hottest DC restaurants and bars and literally "On Top of Maxwell". Gourmet supermarkets, world class restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, yoga studios, and everything else you need to practically enjoy your stay are all a few blocks away.

Getting Around:
You could not ask for better access!! The apartment is a 14 min drive from National Airport and a 8 min drive from Union Station (Amtrak, and the hub of the major sights). The apartment is 1 block away from the Mt. Vernon (Green/Yellow Line) Metro and about a 14 min walk to the Gallery Place (Red Line). 39/45 minute drive to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Planes, trains and automobiles, it is also a short Uber ride anywhere in the city.

Other Things to Note:
Please note that the apartment is located on the second level of a condo building. We ask you to please be mindful that there is a full time tenant upstairs, and you may see them using the staircase from time to time. You may also hear some everyday noises from the upstairs, but they will be mindful of you staying in the unit below, and we ask you please do the same.

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.

Loved the Vibe

Staying in a neighborhood apartment instead of a hotel was way better than I had imagined. Hotels in DC are pricey and this allowed both my co-worker and I to attend an event. We both enjoyed the relaxing vibe and the location and can't wait till next year.

Great Location, well appointed

Apartment excess was flawless, many are not. We took their advice and secured parking across the street. The apartment was very well equipped, especially the kitchen, maybe because they own the restaurant below. Everything was in walking distance, stores, shops, sites.We were not hear long enough, due to the record snow storm, but definately will be back.

Great Location to Explore DC

This location is close to all the museums and great restaurants. Since it is in a busy area, there is some street noise, so come prepared for that. The customer service was amazing. When we had an issue with the WiFi, they fixed it as soon as possible. Great location!

Fun stay in DC

This is a charming two bedroom apt in a great location in DC. The apartment is decorated in perfect DC fashion. Communication with the host was excellent. We enjoyed the wine bar downstairs, but they are a little noisy on the weekend when going to sleep. But we knew that going in so that's fine. Would stay again on a return visit

Perfect apt in residential area near Convention Center

The apartment was perfect! It had everything we needed and within walking distance to all we wanted to see and do. However, the bar below the apartment was noisy for about an hour before closing time. Also the construction vehicles on the street in front of the place started at 7am so no sleeping in. Other than the off hour noise it was absolutely perfect!

Great place, great neighborhood!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic. I loved this apartment and the surrounding neighborhood. We could easily use the Metro or Uber/Lyft was also a breeze. The nearby restaurants and grocery store were very convenient. This location was close enough to do all of the sight-seeing we set out to do. The apartment was also very cozy and comfortable, and we needed that after hours of long tours etc. We will definitely come back.

This is a beautiful space with lots of amenities. Best of all... location, location, location: Steps away from our favorite Ethiopian restaurant. Quick walk to the metro, a short block to supermarket, a bit further to playground with splash pad. We can't wait to come back.

Great location

Extremely convenient location. Close to metro, grocery nearby. Neighborhood is decent. Good restaurants a short walk away. Apartment was clean and well supplied. Communication was good, but because it's a company and not an individual you sometimes end up talking with multiple people. Regarding the few noise comments in other reviews - yes, it's a bit noisy. Yes, the windows could be upgraded. But it's the city and above a bar, and none of us needed earplugs (although our son did run the fan in the room he stayed in). Would we stay here again? Without hesitation!

Awesome

We didn’t have a single complaint.. the apartment is so central to everything. I thought it would be a problem being above a winery, but it wasn’t bad at all. The owners were so easy to reach and handle the small issues we had. It was a great stay

Property was clean and just as described.

Property was very clean and we enjoyed our stay very much. So much better than a hotel room. If you’re heading to the convention center, then this is a great spot. Our only gripe would be the shower in the master bath wasn’t great but manageable.

Five nights in DC

Communication was great, check-in was easy, beds were comfortable and the apartment was very clean. I gave it a 4 star because there were some minor issues. There were only 4 coffee cups and 2 of them were chipped, the sink drain in one of the bathrooms did not have a stopper, so there was an order from the drain. The wine bar was noisy, below us we were told about that

Above Maxwell Wine Bar Apartment Review

Five night stay with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandsons while I was in town on business. Pros: The apartment was cute and clean. I appreciated the unique artwork and the selection of books on the shelves. The beds were very comfortable. We appreciated the coffee set up by the host. Everything we could want or need was in walking distance. Cons: The noise level on Saturday night was brutal. The traffic including loud cars thumping music and partying downstairs and nearby went on until about 4 am. Played parking roulette each day - no fun. The only tv, a small tv in the living room had a poor wi-fi connection. and was largely unusable. The sofain the living room needs replacing. It was incredibly uncomfortable with a broken leg and the cushions are beat. The dishwasher works, but be careful of the top rack.Overall: I would recommend staying here.
