Bloomingdale Beauty in NW DC 9 blocks from Union Station, near RED LINE/NOMA

If you are looking for an authentic experience do consider staying at my home during your stay in DC. I am located on a tree-lined block in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in NW. It's a neighborhood of only about 12 square blocks with many hidden treasures: unassuming dive bars, surprise parks and award-winning restaurants. Bloomingdale is sandwhiched between the neighborhoods of Shaw and Eckington. It is on the border of the District’s northwest quadrant, stretching from Second Street NW to North Capitol, bordered by Florida Avenue NW to the south and Bryant and Channing places NW to the north.

Bloomingdale Beauty is a spacious Victorian home with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. It can hold comfortably 13 guests. However, there are only 10 beds. Air beds and tatamis are available for additional persons beyond 10. I offer my home as a clean, cheap, and safe place to sleep and recharge in the Nation's Capital. It's humble and doable for a few nights. There's a kitchen per your use. However, should you need to really cook, you will have to bring your essentials.

The home has a dining room with a very large wood table, a living room to lounge with guests; an iron with an ironing board; hangers; and etc. PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the upper unit of the home. There is a basement unit as well. Each unit is completely private and secure. There may be guests in the basement unit during your stay. There is a security system with cameras on the outside's front entry and back exit of home.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 3.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Our scout troop was in DC to tour our Nation’s Capitol. For many, it was a first time visit and others a first trip out of SW VA and NW TN. They had a fabulous time. The Bloomingdale Beauty was a particularly well suited property for our large group. No one was on the floor! The home was clean and well appointed. Our only complaint was not having a TV as reported present among the amenities. Scouts can always find things to do and did. The metro was within easy walking distance. Our host was very responsive and quickly answered all my questions. I would recommend Bloomingdale Beauty, especially for a group. It is an affordable and convenient base for a visit to Washington DC. Finally, Dr. Koura arranged for a parking pass near the home, a boon when driving a 15 passenger van. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Large house with plenty beds and futons. Had a large group of friends meet and stay here to see the capitals play and we all had a great time. Great food nearby and easy to Uber to everywhere we went. You would be hard pressed to find a space that will sleep a large group as comfortably and efficiently as this house.
