Historic NW DC Rowhome + Hot Tub 5 bed/3.5 bath
Our classic Wardman-style DC Rowhome is located in the vibrant Petworth neighborhood of Washington, DC and serves as the perfect jumping point for exploring the city. We are a quick 9 minute walk to the metro (93 walk score) and have tons of bus, bike, street parking, and uber/lyft options readily available.
NOTE: Absolutely NO parties or events are permitted in this space.
Over the last several years, we have lovingly restored this 100+ year old home. With many original features still in tact (transom windows, skylights, custom doorways and window frames, original door handles, etc.) we hope you enjoy its timelessness and character as much as we do, and give it as much care as we have!
Come and go easily using our private entrances along with a fully automated check-in process.
THE SPACE: In the basement you will find two bedrooms; one is furnished with a queen bed and the other with twin bunks. There is a living room area equipped with TV and futon, a newly renovated bathroom with full sized washer/dryer set, a separate workspace with desk and chair, and kitchenette (mini fridge, coffee maker, sink, and microwave) for small meal prep/coffee making!
On the main level of the home you will find a spacious and welcoming living room, dining area, sunroom, half bath, and full kitchen - perfect for relaxing with loved ones after a long day of sightseeing! The kitchen is equipped with a full sized fridge/freezer, gas stove, gas oven, microwave, coffee maker, and dishwasher. The sunroom has a futon and air mattress for extra sleeping space!
Upstairs you will find 3 full bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a king bed and walk-in closet, as well as an en suite full bathroom equipped with a shower, double sinks, and soaking tub (original to the home!). The second and third bedrooms have queen sized beds and share a jack-and-jill bathroom. One of the rooms has a small office off of it for those that need to get some work done, as well. The other, a cozy chair for reading that expands for additional sleeping space if needed.
Fresh towels and bed linens will always be provided, as will basic soaps, shampoo, and conditioner.
OUTSIDE: Enjoy the front porch furnished with rocking chairs! Off the back of the house, you will find a nice deck that leads down to a fully enclosed, private backyard. There is an additional patio space on the yard level and a secluded and private 4-6 person HOT TUB available for use under the deck!
PARKING: While we do not have private parking on site, street parking is free and readily available.

It was a fantastic place, lots of room for our extended family of 10. Excellent location, close to the Metro, though parking was a little bit of a bear....but that's what you get for the location. The house is old with beautiful woodwork and stairs that let everyone know that someone is coming down them! :-) Our host responded very quickly when we let them know about a small issue. My only suggestions would be a new couch, there is one spot where everyone sits and you can tell by the large divet in the cushion, and looking at repairing or replacing the fridge because the ice maker doesn't work so we had to buy a bag of ice

Short trip in DC to celebrate Mom's 70th
Our family decided to get together for a long weekend to celebrate our mother/grandmother's 70th birthday in D.C. The place was just the right size for 6 adults and 4 kids (though there were a few small futon beds that could have fit a few more smaller beings) and was in a nice neighborhood very near downtown D.C. The metro was about a ten minute walk and fifteen minute ride to all the major downtown D.C. attractions and also very close to the Smithsonian Zoo. The neighborhood also has a couple of close-by shops for coffee and an excellent Italian restaurant. The house itself was very clean and was exactly as expected. We had a few minor issues, but after contacting the hosts we were able to quickly remedy the situation. The hosts were extremely gracious and amenable and communicated expectations for check-in and check-out very clearly.
