Lovely Shaw Apartment - Sleeps 4, WALK to White House

OUR CALENDAR IS ACCURATE, IF THE SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO BOOK, THOSE DATES ARE AVAILABLE.

This QUIET gorgeous, newly renovated find with designer touches is perfect for your D.C. stay. With an unbeatable “walkscore” of 99, the apartment is super close to the Monuments, Museums, Mall, and White House (approx. 10 minutes by car). For those who prefer the metro, the nearest station (U Street) is very close — less than a 5-minute walk! If you're here for business or vacation, there's no better spot if you want a cozy and quite space.

Located in the trendy Shaw neighborhood, the apartment occupies the entire lower level of one of D.C.'s fabulous historic row homes on a tree-lined street. Our beautiful one-bedroom, air-conditioned apartment is ideal for single travelers, couples, or small families on vacation hoping to check D.C. off their bucket list!

For those visiting D.C. for work, the apartment is a short distance from major business attractions — with the Convention Center easily accessible by car (approx. 5 minutes), metro (approx. 10 minutes), and foot (approx. 20 minutes).

Amenities include:

Comfortably sleeps 4 guests in the queen-sized bed in the main bedroom (with its own en-suite bathroom), and the super comfy sofa bed in the living space.

Large kitchen with huge island, full-size refrigerator, and dishwasher, perfect for folks who love to cook up a storm! Trader Joe's is only an 8-minute walk on foot, so a quick pop-out for supplies is convenient.

Spacious living area for relaxing, and large, beautiful bay windows to enjoy a glass of wine and people watch to your heart’s content.

Large 43" SmartTV that lets you stream your favorite content from your Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney, HULU, and other accounts.

Peloton bike is in the apartment so you can stay up with your fitness routine. (No kids on the bike please!)

For those traveling with little ones, the apartment has a Pack ‘n Play with linens.

Some of the District’s best restaurants (Maydan, Le Diplomate, Dabney, and more!) are a short stroll away, so if you’re looking for a night off from cooking — this is THE place for you!
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with Netflix. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

I stayed at this property for almost two weeks while in DC on business. Nice neighborhood.. Most days I walked to the National Mall where our event was. That said, it's a hike, but the weather was gorgeous and I got my steps in. As far as the unit itself, it is nice. While I suppose technically it can sleep 4 people, you better be ready to be very cozy because you have to go through the bedroom in order to access the only bathroom. Because it is garden level, just FYI, it is not nearly as light and bright as the photos would indicate, but I wasn't there much so I didn't really care. If you are at all unstable on your feet, just realize the stone steps into the unit are uneven/old school stones. While it may sound like I am being negative, I really did enjoy my stay. Just want to make folks aware. The only real suggestions I have for the owner are to supply some kind of food storage container(s). One of the reasons for staying at a VRBO is to eliminate eating out. There wasn't even one Tupperware kind of container, or even plastic wrap. And the final thing was that there were a constant barrage of fleas (Not dog, but little fruit flies) that seemed to emanate out of the bathroom sink. I couldn't keep up with killing them but nor did I want them to come in and spray while I was staying in such a small space. That would also go for the one large 'palmetto bug' that I also found by the front door. Thankfully, it was already dead.

Lovely apartment conveniently located

We were in town to visit our brand-new grandson, so the location was perfect for us to visit easily. Pros: Convenient location on lovely tree-lined street. There were many places to eat within easy walking distance. Very well-equipped and spacious kitchen area. Comfortable bedroom (a little tight but still nice) and very comfy bed. Plenty of towels and bathroom items, including a hair dryer. Reliable wi-fi. Walkable neighborhood. Effective and accurate communication for check-in/check-out. Gracious host.Cons: Steps to the front door are loose in places, and it is a little unsteady going down. Some of the furniture is a little worn and probably could use a good cleaning or even replacement. The floor going into the kitchen is a bit of a trip hazard. You can hear the upstairs neighbor moving around periodically. Overall, we would stay at this location again.

First time in DC

The apartment was very nicely appointed and clean. The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. We had a few small issues and Charlotte was quick to respond. Be aware the one bathroom is attached to the bedroom. If you have additional guests using the pull out sofa, they must walk through the bedroom to access the bathroom. The apartment is walkable to pretty much everything. However, the walk can be anywhere from 1.5 miles to almost 4 miles (Jefferson Memorial) to your destination NOT including the walk back. You also need to account for all the walking that you do when you get to your destination, including back to the apartment. There were 3 of us and we took an Uber to our destination in the morning ($12-20) spent the day sightseeing, ate dinner, and walked back to the apartment. We walked anywhere from 4-6 miles a day 5 days in a row. Probably not practical with small children or those not capable of walking long distances and being on your feet for most of the day. Trader Joe's is a 0.4 mile walk. If you like ice cream, Jeni's Homemade Ice cream is across the street from Trader Joe's. We parked our car on the street right outside the apartment and never moved it for 6 days!

Wonderful location and stay

We enjoyed the lower level apartment immensely … five minute walk (if that) to the metro station … both bed and sofa bed were comfortable and the kitchen was very nice … close walk to Trader Joe’s for fridge stocking … bathroom and shower both clean and nice … We did have a slight issue with millipedes (slow crawling insects about an inch or so long) … we would see four to five a day making their slow trek across the floors but we left them alone and they left us alone :) … we just had to be mindful of where we were stepping at times … We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend the place to anyone needing a spot to stay in Washing DC :)
