About this property

Charming City Centered Walk to Zoo!

Summary:

Look no further for the perfect home base from which to explore DC! Just like Alice, from behind the secret-like entrance lies a lovely, surprising space - tucked away in the midst of DC`s activity. A parking pass is available and must be requested in advance, simply sign up, request, and print (BEFORE you travel)!



The Space:

Our lovely bright English basement apartment can comfortably sleep four guests in the following configuration:

- a queen bed in the Main Room

and a queen sized sofa bed in the living room



The home is complete with a full kitchen for those hoping to cook, although with the plethora of neighboring restaurants, that notion may become a thing of the past!



Surprising amounts of natural light contribute to the cozy but modern feel. With mid-century modern accents, and meticulous anticipation of guests needs, any traveler will feel at home here, and truly experience living like a local.



Easy proximity to public transportation, and the iconic, Historic Adam’s Morgan neighborhood!



~ While we can’t guarantee parking, some guests have had luck getting temporary permits from neighboring police stations. Guests would need to bring their trip itinerary with their full name, dates of stay, and street address of the residence.

This is at the discretion of the police stations however, and cannot be guaranteed.

We also provide excellent resources and coupon codes for finding nearby garages at the cheapest rates.



Guest Access:

Guests will have access to the entire apartment. It is not shared.



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.



The Neighborhood:

Adam’s Morgan is a hub of activity! No shortage of restaurants and bars down 18th St, and just parallel lies Columbia Rd, for a slower paced night out with can’t miss designer restaurants!



Modern trends and styles flow through the historic row homes and streets, creating an atmosphere that can’t be beat!



Getting Around:

The location is amazing! Walking distance from the Zoo, Adam`s Morgan neighborhood and metro as well various buses to quickly take you to all the major sights. Capital Bikeshare`s surround the area as well, so for those inclined, its a great way to borrow a bike and explore the area!



Other Things to Note:

The entrance to the apartment is very narrow. Most suitcases should be fine, however, guests should be mindful of that fact.



Additionally, family-friendly amenities such as a Pack 'n Play are available upon request.



Interaction with Guests:

We are always available for any questions or issues that may arise during your stay.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Great place and host!

We loved staying at this place! It is so charming and ha everything we needed. The bed was very confortable, we cooked and we did laundry and all worked well. The little living room is so charming! (The one thing I would recommend is to check the sofa bed because it’s in need of some update). The location couldn’t be better and even the neighbors are kind and pleasant.

This is a fully equipped, well-furnished apartment with most everything two people would need/want. The kitchen is totally modern, and the bathroom is good, with a mirrored medicine cabinet with storage shelves! As with every basement apartment where we’ve stayed in D.C., there are some quirks. The main quirk for this one is that the front entrance under the stairs is extremely narrow and the stairs down somewhat steep, so if one is a very large person and/or has large luggage, it might be a bit of a challenge. However, once inside, all is lovely, well-lit, and air-conditioned (which was so appreciated in the hot weather)The location is excellent, in Adams Morgan close to shopping, excellent restaurants and cafes, and public transportation.

This was my second stay. Was a great stay per my last visit. The team is super responsive whenever I expressed a reasonable need. The Adams Morgan area is great and very convenient. Great restaurants. Safeway is right around the corner. Metro is close by. Parking is tough so I opt for Uber and Metro. Great walking though so the option is there. Anyway, I will stay here again.

Delightful

"We had a wonderful stay at this basement apartment! It was spotlessly clean, and the location was incredibly convenient with the metro just a short walk away. There were plenty of dining options nearby, which made it easy to grab a bite. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep, and the host was absolutely delightful and responsive throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay!"

Cool and quiet

This apartment is welcoming, quiet, clean, and spacious. Our stay was a result of us needing to find adequate air conditioning close to our existing home in DC. Not only did this place provide wonderful air conditioning, but it was also a wonderful place to work comfortably as well as relax and feel like we were on a vacation just a few short streets away. We enjoyed walks at night exploring the winding streets and character filled architecture of the surrounding neighborhood.

Nice apartment in a residential neighborhood

We live nearby and were looking for a place to stay while we were having work done on our condominium. This fit the bill nicely. It was comfortable and the kitchen was nicely appointed so that we could cook. It was fun to explore a slightly different neighborhood and find some new places. Check in was easy and the apartment looked great when we checked in. It’s a good size for one or two people. As reported, parking can be a challenge.
