About this property

Big and Comfy in Forest Hills\Cleveland Park by the Metro & Zoo! King Size Bed!

Centrally located in the heart of Cleveland Park/Forest Hills, this gorgeous stately Federal Townhouse English basement apartment is located on a SAFE, quiet tree-lined block, just two blocks from the Metro and the Scandinavian Embassy, Levine Music School, Howard Law School and Burke High School. Relax in a private space after a long, lovely day enjoying DC.
This apartment has its own private entrance, a few steps from the walkway. Relax in a cozy space after enjoying site seeing in DC. Come ‘home' to a fully renovated private apartment with separate entrance, a small fully-stocked kitchen with sunny windows, a new bathroom, a 40" Samsung Smart TV and a full size washer/dryer. We have personalized QR codes for WiFi access as well as Property and Neighborhood details. Please note, there is no dishwasher; however, eating utensils are sanitized before you arrive and high-touch areas are cleaned with Clorox disinfectants. The master bedroom has a California King size bed with a super comfortable Casper mattress and the second bedroom has two full size beds (both with Casper mattresses). There is also a pull out sofa - enough space to accommodate 6 people. This apartment is 2 blocks from the local Giant grocery store, CVS and several wonderful ethnic restaurants. You can also walk to the various Embassies or head straight into Rock Creek Park, by Peirce Mill. The property is easily accessible to the UDC/Van Ness Metro Station (2 blocks), bus stops (1 block) and City Bike Share (1 block) and scooters galore. If you have a car, we can secure a parking permit for our block and may be able to offer garaged parking for an additional fee, though check with us first.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire 2 bedroom basement garden apartment, with its own separate entrance. You also have access to the backyard which has a fire pit, turf area and basketball hoops. Very private space. Come and go as you please!

Other things to note
We have three children who would happily entertain yours if you arrive as a family. We are just steps away from several Embassies (Netherlands, Indonesia, Kuwait, Honduras, and others) as well as the Howard University School of Law, and several local independent schools and universities (Sidwell, Burke, American U., Georgetown U, etc) If you have any associates at those locations, you are extremely close!

*bonus: If you need a sitter, our teenage daughter loves to babysit and is often available!

Host (Rod) was very responsive and considerate, alerting us of updated items/upcoming events. Location was excellent, very walkable with good grocery/food options. Amenities were just what we needed. Having an extra bedroom was super helpful for 3 adults in one space and the common/living room area was both room and comfy. Would definitely stay again, especially for longer DC stay and if wanting to avoid going out for every meal. Thanks Rod and Gabrielle!

We enjoyed being so close to the Metro and every service we could possibly want. The apartment was a great place for the four of us to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. The hosts were on top of everything including getting us a parking pass for the one day we rented a car. Can't wait to stay again.
