About this property

Welcoming and light ground floor studio short walk to dwnt Silver Spring & metro

Separate and private spacious walkout basement studio unit with separated sleeping area, kitchenette, inviting hangout/tv viewing area, natural light, and ventilation. The separate entrance has a coded entry. Off-street parking is available in the driveway. I live upstairs; there is a locked door between the units. I am available for neighborhood information or any challenges. Easy walk to public trans (0.7 mile to metro) and a robust array of markets, dining & shopping options. Two sump pumps run when raining - the upside is it can sound like sleeping near a brook. The ceiling is a reasonable height but be mindful if over 6'.
Note: It's not great if one has mobility issues.
There is a great feel to the place—exposed brick and joists with modern amenities. There is Wi-Fi, a smart TV, a kitchennette with an induction cook top, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, fridge, and dishes.

Unit DOES NOT include a washer/dryer. There is a clean and efficient laundromat and block away.

Great walking neighborhood and downtown Silver Spring begins around the corner. Off-street parking is available.

Ruti's place is a perfect little hideaway for a DC visit! Very clean, comfortable, and homey, and she was really pleasant and responsive. I hope to get a chance to stay there again!

Great Experience for Our 5 night Stay

Close enough to DC via metro bus and metro rail. We had a good experience with the public transportation. Ruti was generous and had two Smartcards we could use (10 value) that we added to for our trips back and forth from DC. The basement apartment was perfect size for my husband, teenage son and I with designated areas for sleeping (FYI no doors in sleeping areas for privacy)and sitting together for eating and entertainment. One suggestion, when you DO stay (and you should!) bring a deck of cards or a board game if you are into doing that during your down time. The apartment is nicely decorated and comfortable. *bonus the electric towel drying rack - an unexpected luxury!

Cozy and convenient home away from home for family visit

The cozy studio was as advertised and a short walk to downtown Silver it was a great place to stay on our long weekend visit. Really tall people like my husband may need to duck. But as the ceiling is low. But he's 6'5 inches so above average. Spring

Peaceful spot in Silver Spring, MD

This listing was perfect! It was a converted basement studio with a private entrance. The studio was spacious, spotless, quiet, and beautifully appointed. The bed was so comfortable. Check in, check out, and communication with the owner upstairs was easy. It was a long walk to the Metro station. I walked to the station twice but also took an uber to the Metro station, mostly. The shower had plenty of hot water and the entire place was a relaxing experience. I stayed here for five nights. It is not a short walk to the Metro station so keep that in mind. Highly recommend!

Very Clean, Unique Spot

Ruti did a great job in providing a basement space which was very clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. There are many restaurants and shopping opportunities really close by. Parking available right next to where you are staying was very nice and not that common in the area. Not too far from D.C if you are wanting to sight see.

Awesome place to stay

We loved staying at this place. It was an easy and safe walk to Silver Springs. We were able To get on the metro there, about a 20 minute ride to DC and everything was walkable. About 10 minutes from the house has a strip with restaurants and grocery stores and a CVS. The house is perfect for the 3 of us, plenty of room and comfy beds. We would stay here again.

Good location in quiet residential area

We spent four nights at Ruti's basement apartment. It's located in a residential area in walking distance to the laundromat, grocery store, and other amenities. It’s just a 15 minute walk to the metro. We felt safe walking in this area even at night.
