Why the Owner Chose Columbia Heights
With metro, grocery store, restaurants, Target, Tivoli Theater, Starbucks and many restaurants, we love the convenience of our unit. There is no need for a car when staying with us and we hope you enjoy our location as much as we enjoy living here.
Owner's Map of Columbia Heights
We are family owned and operated. From the left meet Kate, Jarek (sister and brother) and our mom Dana.
We have lived in Washington for over ten years and love this cosmopolitan city where people get up every morning and get to work on changing the world. The most powerful people in DC can alter the course of history and try to make the world a better place. It's a city where philosophical debate and advocacy of issues beyond one's own family or pocketbook rule the day; a city where what's going on in one's head is far more important than what one is wearing; a city where people come from all over the world to experience democracy and learn the principles of our free society.
We get visitors from all over the country and the world. Some come for one time visit with their family, others keep coming back number of times a year as we host many repeat guests related to the federal government, foreign embassies and the US State Department. We take great pride in having our unit very clean (our mom cleans it, so you know it’s spotless), conveniently located within walking distance to all shopping, restaurants and Metro.
We want you to enjoy your visit whether it is once in a lifetime trip with your family or monthly visit for work. We are looking forward to hosting you in DC and if there is something we can help with, let us know.

Great place !

Even before we arrived I found Paula to be extremely helpful and pleasant, all emails were answered very quickly and she also sent us a 30+ pages guide to Columbia Heights and Washington DC which was very helpful. The apartment itself was very clean, well stocked on everything and spacious enough for the seven of us. The kitchen is fully-equipped with a big fridge, big cooker and a dish-washer, we were able to cook a Christmas dinner for seven as if we had been at home. Every bedroom has its own closet. One of the bedrooms has a curtain instead of a door, but it was no problem as we had two teenagers slepping there. The rear bedroom has a terrasse with chairs and a low table, looks like a nice place to sit in the summer. There is wi-fi plus a computer and a printer. Just around the block is Columbia Heights metro station (yellow and green lines) which brings you to downtown very quickly. Plenty of taxis near the metro too. The area around the metro is very lively : supermarkets, shops, plenty of take-away places and a few restaurants too (I recommand The Heights : good food, pleasant atmosphere and service). In short, we were all very happy to have chosen this place, and our party's age range went from teenagers to elderly grandparents.

The place was very close to a Metro stop and a grocery store. Whoever cleans the condo deserves a pay raise - it was spotless. It was perfect for our family vacation and had plenty of breathing room. This area of DC felt like a real neighborhoob - real folks walking kids to school and going to work. We would stay there again.

We stayed for a week with a family of 8 (22-11 yrs) in this modern 'boutique' house. Pleasant 'hood with transport and shops nearby. (had no car) All modern comfort incl PC and very efficient airco system troughout - not to be despised in weltering heat of summer. Washington itself is absolutely fabulous for the culture seeking tourist with free entry to superb museums (National gallery, american history) and caters very well for more worldly needs (food and shops) we easily could have spent another week to visit out of town places like Mt Vernon. All the contacts with the owners were swift and to the point and very friendly. Will stay again and warmly recommend.

My wife and I chose this condo as a home base for giving my two sisters their first look at the nation's capital. We couldn't have been more pleased. The home is elegant with a great kitchen and very comfortable beds and living quarters. The Metro is just a couple blocks away, and all the amenities of home are within easy walking distance. While I did bring a car, it is completely unnecessary here, since a cab drive for the four of us was very inexpensive when we chose not to use the Metro. All in all, our trip was enhanced by having the luxury of a home while on a vacation. I'd recommend this site to anyone.

I travel to Washington, DC for overnight several times per year. I usually stay at a hotel, but for this particular visit, I wanted my girlfriends (who were traveling from Connecticut) and I to stay somewhere that would give us more of a home feeling. I saw the pictures of the property online and loved it...however...when I walked into the acutal property...OMG!!! I was "IN LOVE"!! The photos of the brownstone are nice....but they do NOTHING for how the property actually looks in the inside. It was extremely neat and clean- but not to the point that we were not comfortable and scared to touch things. Every room in the house was BEAUTIFUL and clean...the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes as well as pots and pans! There were five of us that stayed and there was more than enough room-- the beds were extremely comfortable, the bathrooms were beyond clean and there was plenty of linen provided for us! The owners did an EXCELLENT job in making sure we made it into the property ok as well as checked in with us while over the course of the weekend. It was the BEST!! I would DEFINITELY recommend this property to a friend and/or relative and I am looking forward to staying at the property again!!

My family of 7 stayed here Feb 2011 for a full week. It was wonderful. The place was fully stocked with what you'd expect in a hotel, but it was much more homey and welcoming. New, very well-done finishing inside. Felt like a luxury place without the pretentiousness. Being two blocks from the metro and a block from shopping were ideal. It was like living as a true DC resident, except I didn't have to clean at the end of the week. Almost anything we wanted was walkable. As we toured DC, my kids kept wanting to go back "home" to this condo. This was like home, and everybody referred to it that way. Not "the hotel" or "the condo", definitely "home." And there are plenty of books about what to do and see in DC while relaxing at night. If I ever return to DC, this is where I hope to stay.

Did a three person girls' trip, the unit could not have been more perfect for our needs. It was as pictured, VERY clean, and all our needs were met. Many of our needs were within walking distance as well. I would return to DC just to stay here.

We were 3 couples staying at this wonderful, conveniently located, clean apartment for a week in May, 2010. The pictures on the website are exactly what it looks like. Beautiful furnishings, very comfortable, kitchen furnished with everything we needed. Computer setup for your convenience. Nice balcony off one of the bedrooms. It is close to the metro, shopping and great restaurants that Jarek can recommend to you. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful townhouse.
