About this property

Historic rowhouse in heart of Shaw

This charming rowhouse with modern amenities was built in 1900 and is in the heart of Shaw. You'll be just blocks away from so many great places and in walking distance to Logan Circle, DuPont Circle, Chinatown / Gallery Place, the Convention Center, U Street, and more!

This is our home (not a full-time rental), so it feels like a home. We truly love it here, and we hope you will too!

It's very cozy and has all of the amenities (including baby items if you need them), but it is filled like a home since it's not a full-time rental.

The upsides/downsides are that the fridge/freezer/pantry are fully stocked with our food items. We’re avid cooks, so you should have nearly any spice and kitchen appliance available (sous vide anyone?), and you’re welcome to use any of it during your stay. The biggest downside is that the dressers and closets are full of my family’s clothes and linens.

Please don't hesitate to send questions if you're wondering if my home would fit your needs.

You'll have the whole house (2 floors plus a basement) and deck to yourself!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
