About this property

Modern English basement close to Capitol bldg with free street parking

My renovated one-bedroom English basement apartment is located 2 blocks from H St NE. H Street is a vibrant area with plenty of restaurants, bars, and the free streetcar line to Union Station. Popular Union Market and La Cosecha are a short walk away and has great outdoor space with additional restaurants, bars, and shops in the area. There are also 7! grocery stores with 1 mile of my apartment if you decide to stay in and cook or just need to grab a few items.

My apartment has completely separate front and rear entrances from the upstairs so you won’t be sharing any spaces.

The other great thing about my apartment is that it is truly a full basement with nearly 8 foot high ceilings and FULL windows/doors so you won’t feel like you’re in a basement like with many other basement apartments.

I have no-contact keyless entry and this also allows you to not have to worry about losing any keys during your stay.

My apartment is equipped with standard kitchen and bathroom amenities and linens (towels, wash clothes, sheets, blankets, etc.).

Getting around DC is also really easy from my apartment and there are many forms of transportation available close by. Walking to the Capitol building is about 1 mile if you’re up for a nice stroll down Maryland Ave. There is a free streetcar on H St that will take you to the backside of Union Station. There is a city bus stop on the corner of my street. You could also venture around town on electric scooters or electric or manual pedal bikes that you can get in the neighborhood or rent from Capital bike-share 1 block away. Lyft, Uber, or taxi is also easily available via downloaded apps. My apartment is located within an easy 10-12 minute walk to the red line NoMa metro station. Finally, if you will have a car, there is free, easy to come by street parking right out front. Note: my apartment is in vibrant DC. You will see people from all walks of life, all nationalities, all ethnicities. I have lived in my neighborhood for over 10 years and I love the diversity. If diversity scares or bothers you in any way, then my apartment is not the place for your stay.

Clean and quiet

The apartment was clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive when I had a question. Parking outside was plentiful. Bonus: there’s a park just around the block, which my kids loved. Brand new washer and dryer. Pull out sofa is just a fold down futon. Not terribly uncomfortable, but not a sofa bed. Overall, a great place to stay.

A fine garden-level apartment. As with nearly all apartment units/properties that exist for the express purpose of vacation rental, there are little things that a permanent resident would add or upgrade, but for a few nights visiting DC, this place was great.

Family trip to D.C.

Cozy, charming place with easy access to city (only 3 blocks from streetcar) and shopping & restaurants nearby on H Street. Much more comfortable than hotel, with full kitchen and separate bedroom. (We brought twin air mattress so all could sleep in bedroom, with kiddo on an earlier bedtime, and not convert couch.) Would stay again!

Fantastic 1br apt with pull-out sofa for extra sleeping. Area was quiet. I would highly recommend this place. The only downside would be the stores and restaurants are a moderate walk. They are very nice however.

Disappointing Location

Property was clean and updated. Host responded in timely manner. However, I was extremely disappointed in the location. It was convenient to bus and streetcar transportation, but required walking through the less than desirable neighborhood. The area did not feel safe especially when walking. Might be better for those with a car. The property is VERY noisy when someone is in the unit above. A second set of towels would have been nice for our 6 day stay. Mosquitoes and gnats were also an issue in the unit.

This place was AMAZING! It was cute and cozy and everything we needed for our DC stay. We walked down to the nearby Bodega several times for groceries and everyone was so nice. It was great to be submerged into DC culture. This is a very vibrant, active neighborhood that is slowly being renovated and updated. There are old buildings mixed in with new but I think that is part of the charm. The apartment is quiet and has every amenity you could hope for. The renovations were done thoughtfully. The shower was great - lots of hot water and water pressure. The sofa was very comfortable to sit and sleep. My kids slept there and loved it. The mattress in the bedroom is WONDERFUL! My husband and I slept so comfortably. We wanted to bring it home with us. Transportation to and from this apartment was a breeze. I also want to add that the host was also amazing and accommodating for our family. She was informative about parking and extremely nice. I would HIGHLY recommend you stay here. It was fantastic and made or DC trip all the better.

Perfect dwelling

Well-appointed, clean, roomy apartment for the three of us. Literally, a few steps from a metro bus stop and a bodega. The free trolley that takes you all along H St to Union Station is a quick, easy, flat, 3 block walk away. You can access Giant grocery store, chain restaurants, local eateries, CVS, Dollar Tree and many other businesses with streetcar stops in front of them. At Union Station you can take the DC circulator for a dollar to many different locations or get on the metro. The apartment is in a great, quiet neighborhood next to a school and the owner is amazingly helpful and accessible if you have questions. Wonderful stay with my 10 and 15 year old grandnieces.

Perfect for our daughter's graduation weekend in DC

We were in town for our daughter's graduation from GW so we weren't in the apartment that much. It had everything we needed and was very clean. We would have liked it the outdoor light to the apartment was on when we checked in because it is a basement apartment and we arrived after dark but other than that, we were happy with it.

Wonderful stay!

Everything was clean and all of the essentials were there. Other folks have mentioned the neighborhood not being the greatest, which I agree with, but we chose to just not walk after dark. The bus stop is on the same block which made it super easy to get around. Owner was responsive and pleasant. Highly recommend :)

Awesome Place to Crash

Friends and I were in DC for a music festival and this was the perfect place to crash after a full day and night of dancing. Super easy to get rideshares to and from the event from here. Felt safe for it being in DC and we were out both nights until the early AM hours. The house was super clean and modern and perfect for our needs. We will 100% stay here again if we come down for the festival next year!

The basement apartment is super cute, clean, and welcoming. The kitchen is small but functional- a baking sheet that fits in the oven would be helpful, appreciated the microwave and toaster oven! We usually took an Uber into the city but the Metro was helpful too. We were able to walk to Whole Foods and Union District- the neighborhood could make some nervous but we felt fine.
