I was traveling with a student to visit research collections at the Smithsonian; we needed a place with two rooms and an easy commute to the Mall. This property was perfect for our needs! The neighborhood is lovely; it was an easy bus ride to the museum; and there were restaurants and corner grocery stores nearby. The host is very responsive and helpful. We drove into D.C. as part of a longer trip. Dr. Koura helped us get a visitor parking pass and made everything very easy. Check out was also simple. This is a great spot in a charming neighborhood with a wonderful host.

I am delighted that the home provided a comfortable and convenient base for your work at the Smithsonian and that you enjoyed the Bloomingdale neighborhood, nearby restaurants and easy access to public transportation. I’m especially pleased that I could assist with the visitor parking pass and help make your arrival and stay as smooth as possible.
Guests like you who are respectful, communicative and appreciative make hosting genuinely rewarding. You are welcome back anytime and I would be honored to host you again whenever your travels bring you to Washington, DC.

It was a great place for my trip, close to a lot and the neighborhood is pretty nice! The rooms were extremely clean and the host was very great at communicating! I would definitely stay again, my only advice is it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring another chair (there’s only one stool for the dining table) and if you are over 6ft the shower is a tight fit (no one’s fault just a heads up)

Lovely stay
The apartment was great with plenty of room for the whole family and the location is within walking distance between a coffee shop and a pub with a quick 10 minute drive to the National mall. There is no TV in the apartment so bring your laptop and the only thing that could have made it better would be a small dining table with a few chairs.

A wonderful place to stay if you are sightseeing in D.C. ! Not too far that travel is a time-suck, yet not so close to downtown that the price is (!!!) a very good 'goldilocks' location. If I make another trip to DC soon, I will definitely consider staying here again. Walk from this location to Capital One Arena is about 30 minutes. The host is very nice and responsive to messages.

Two friends and I needed a place to stay for one night. We only needed something we could crash at so location and esthetic really was not a big need. However, we were so pleased with the location.

This apartment does not include food of any sort, coffee, or snacks for the price paid. Christine was not charged extra for her 4th guest but charged the correct price for having four people. The price for 6 people are not the same for 4 people. It’s a basic, clean, and safe sleep in DC. The listing states to bring your own amenities above those that are offered. Christine’s claim that she had not been provided towels and blankets for 4 people is false. Sadly, she uses the review platform to further the falsehood. When Christine was informed where to look, she never confirmed receiving them. Not to mention there were 8 eyes (4 persons) inside of a two bedroom apartment that didn’t think to open closet doors, as stated in the instructions where to “find” the towels and blankets. However, they left the front door opened and the security gate wide opened when leaving out. Nor did they make any use with bathing and using the 4th towel that such a big fuss was made about. Out of the 5 available blankets they used two. It was evident that the towel set and blankets were found because pillows were used from the same place. Each guest’s arrival is planned accordingly and basic essentials are always provided.

Quick, easy, convenient
Great place to stay for a quick one day trip to DC for a show. We arrived Saturday around 5pm and left Sunday morning. Mostly just needed a place to crash. The house is a very quick walk (5 minutes max) from a great pub that we went to before and after the show.
We did hear footsteps through a lot of the night, but that was expected as it is a basement apartment. It would be nice to have a fan available to plug into the wall in order to both drown out the noise and provide some breeze with the summer warmth.

Clean home but not the best
It a home to stay one night no more than that. It’s a home to spend a night at that’s all. We were looking forward to enjoying a breakfast hand cooked by ourselves, but no dishes or pots or pans to cook with. Half of the accessories worked. The WiFi didn’t work right, neighbors were up stumping around all night and day. Be very aware the homeless tends to roam around at night so be concerned with your safety. The metal doors can easily be gotten into. We even found a open water bottle in fridge along with a illegal substance in the kitchen drawer allow with scissors with a white substance on them not even cleaned. My family was shocked and very displeased. Won’t be staying here again!!

Zephaniah B's review is concocted with full of untruths. He and his lovers stayed 4 nights at my place without complaint. After checkout, he writes a very negative and scathing review of the property claiming that he saw "illegal substance." Interestingly enough, of the 4 characters, none could identify incense. SMH! In their worldly experience, I assume they believed the substance was something that they may have before smoked illegally. Thus, believing my natural frankincense was drugs. Sadly, this "Zephaniah" shames the true biblical character. Thinking of characters, Zephaniah and his crew showed up in full regalia as cartoon characters of some sort. Imagine, 4 grown men with childish costumes at midday in DC??? They trashed my apartment and wet the bed. The bed had to be cleaned and sterilized. They broke my plate holder. Please note that Zephaniah B is not someone to be rented to in a private home setting. He and his kind needs only to book commercially at a hotel.
Ignore his rant about homeless people and the issue of safety. Zephania is only in his feelings because he was charged for breaking my property and trashing the apartment with their merrymaking. The heartless statement about homeless people roaming around at night is also shameful. No one should be made fun of due to their economic status in society. As listed, my apartment does not come with pots and pans. So I am not sure why Zephania B would believe that magically they would appear available upon their arrival? Artesan water, Fiji brand was available for Zephania B and crew. Now he flips the narrative to state that the water was opened. Please take his review as a joke and have a hearty laugh! Ignore it and read the other very credible ones. Be far warned, Zephania came with lovers and they had an unathorized party at my home and trashed it upon departure. In the booking it stated, one child was traveling with the group. Untrue. It is all a scam to rent your home disguised as a "family," when they are not.
Please note that I pride my home for being spotless, clean, and safe. Bloomingdale is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in DC. My apartment is located in a beautiful Victorian and on a very beautiful tree-lined block. I do all I can to please very deserving and grateful guests. I also hope you do not allow this faux review to deter you from staying with me. Thanks so much for taking time to reading this response to such ridiculousness.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you found the rooms clean and comfortable.
The parking information, house rules and bicycle policy are all clearly outlined in both the listing description and the pre-arrival instructions sent before check-in. Guests are expected to review this information before arriving, as it is provided to help ensure a smooth stay.
Because you did not advise me in advance that you would be bringing bicycles, I made an exception to accommodate your request upon arrival. Had I been notified beforehand, we could have addressed it in advance.
I believe the information provided is clear and comprehensive and I don’t believe it is necessary to duplicate it in additional printed materials inside the home. Guests who review the information sent before arrival should have everything they need for a pleasant stay.
Thank you again for your stay and I wish you all the best.

No gem and unsafe
This property is no gem; not even close. Stained futon to sleep on, worn sheets, dirty sink and air vents and thermostat was locked to 67 during winter. Neighborhood is unsafe as while we were looking for hidden entry (no outside light on) to basement the car was stolen right in front of us in under 2 minutes. Police said stolen vehicles are rampant. And to add insult, owner charged group of elderly women $100 after we left for just being in DC on Jan 6; no damage and no reason. You get the idea, so if you want cheap and carry personal protection, then this is your place.

“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.”
Sadly, from the outset of this booking, these guests were very problematic. They arrived my home seditiously to “storm the Capitol.” Looking for fault in everything, gleefully fault found them. Rest assured that my home is always cleaned immaculately. All linen are sanitized for each new guests’ arrival. Anna rating me poorly is predictable and vindictive. She communicated very poorly before, during, and after her stay and as a result poor consequences followed. Unfortunately, her car was stolen due to her negligence and not mine. Anna has found comfort in blaming me for her many DC misfortunes. Please ignore her rant and read more credible reviews.

Worked great for us
What we really needed was a clean, comfy place to shower and sleep and ease of getting to public transportation. We definitely got all of those in this property. While the property is old and could use a bit of TLC, it was quaint and we felt safe there. It would have been even better had there been a little refrigerator for keeping soft drinks. The Metro bus stops only a block from this place and stops again a block from Union Station where you can find many options for fast food and can catch other buses, the subway, the free Circulator bus, or various tour bus options. The owner was really great to work with and we enjoyed our time in DC very much!

Charming, Quiet, Comfy, & Great Neighborhood with a Fantastic & Classy Hostess-Thank You!!
This spotless, extremely comfortable, & surprisngly spacious basement apartment was the perfect landing pad for me to rest & rejuvenate after a busy conference this past spring. Now, don't think musty, dank, or dark because this is a basement property, because this apartment is quite the opposite! This space is airy, appealing, & surprisingly bright! The neighborhood was delightful, SAFE, & quiet. I found the bed to be so comfortable, I was reluctant to leave it in the morning. The water pressure in the bathroom (and it's a great bathroom as well!) is to die for. I looked forward to my evening shower & had a mini-spa of sorts each night before bed. Linens were high quality, with clean fluffy towels & washcloths, & soft sheets & blankets. I was able to sleep with my bedroom window slightly cracked open to enjoy a little fresh air while I slept. The owner also offers free wifi, which came in extremely handy in preparing for the conference.
The only hiccups (there WERE no real problems with my stay at all!) were the temperature & trash. Being that in-between time of year temperature-wise, I did have to request that Dr. Doura turn off the heat, as we had an unexpected heat wave during my stay. The apartment tends to be pleasantly cool. NO PROBLEM! Dr. Doura solved the issue IMMEDIATELY after I messaged her. I wasn't sure where to put the trash, so I made my own bag and left it in the kitchen area in hopes this was an appropriate spot for easy removal
by my hostess. Apologies if it wasn't!
The owner of this property is extremely attentive, kind, & accomodating. I even accidentally sent several duplicate messages to her (annoyingly) because I wasn't sure they were getting through, yet my hostess remained patient with my lack of expertise. She goes the extra mile to make sure guests are comfortable & happy for the duration of their stay.
My only suggestions would be to add a mini-fridge & a small coffee maker to the property so that guests can grab a small breakfast or snacks. Maybe some small bedside reading lamps as well? Outside of that, maybe a couple of extra towels for people with longer hair would be a good idea, though I imagine Dr. Doura can accomodate any such requests! Even without these things, this English Gem was perfect for me. I'd gladly book another stay in this Bloomingdale apartment. This was a five star stay all around, & I'm absolutely delighted I chose this property. Thank you Dr. Doura!

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
This is my second home. I lived in it for 4 years. It is located in Bloomingdale, NW, DC, in one of the most sought after communities in the area. The homes in this neighborhood are gorgeous and stately Victorians. I no longer live here and offer it to budget travelers visiting our Nation's Capital.
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
The real benefit of staying in my home is that it is safe, clean, central, and very affordable for budgeted travelers.
