IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
The house is centrally located in a wonderful lively area with constant foot traffic, great restaurants, etc. The primary bedroom faces the street. If you are an especially light sleeper, or value quiet over location, we may not be a good fit for you. We provide ear plugs for your comfort.

Please note that this is a row house with a separate basement level unit so you may see us / others staying in the lower level unit.

The house is a historic DC rowhome that is over 130 years old (built in the 1890s!). We tried to preserve as much history/character of the house including the original pine wood floors, which means that some of the floors are squeaky. We ask that you please take care to preserve the unique history of this historic DC rowhome while you enjoy your stay in DC, and take care to not damage any delicate item!

Most of the bedrooms are on the smaller side (except the primary room), ranging from 70 - 80 sq ft. When the trundle beds are pulled out for use, the beds will take up the majority of those rooms. For this reason, we have foldable/collapsible side tables, desks, and chairs which are stored in each room's closet for maximum flexibility.

The primary bedroom upstairs tends to be on the warmer/cooler side during the summer/winter (as it has the most windows). In addition to closing the window shutters and using the ceiling fan, we also provide a large portable air conditioner/heater and large portable fan in the closet, to help circulate air in this room.

Parking 🚙
The parking pad in the back can typically accommodate up to a mid-size SUV / Minivan. Part of the parking pad is underneath the deck posts, which can accommodate a vehicle that is 83 inches wide and 79 inches high. If you're vehicle does not fit in the parking pad space, there is usually street parking available in the area. Pay attention to all parking signs to avoid tickets! If you'll have more than one vehicle, there are several paid parking lots 5-7 mins walking distance from the place.
