About this property
Charming, quiet, and 10 min walk to zoo, Metro, and restaurants
Where else can you be a 10-minute walk from neighborhood restaurants and shops, the National Zoo and Rock Creek Park plus easy Metro access to downtown? Our 575 foot English basement apartment retains some of its Art Deco details and working fireplace with modern amenities. Easily accommodates 4 people with a queen bed plus a double in the pull-out couch. Our neighborhood is quiet, green, and family-friendly.
A private entrance at the back of the apartment leads into the kitchen with a brand-new induction stovetop, both a half refrigerator and a full one in the garage that's accessible through a side door. Washer and dryer are for guests exclusive use.
Full, albeit small, bathroom then the main room with working fireplace, sleeping nook that can be closed off with a folding screen, and an office nook. Sleeping space contains a clothes closet and bureau. Wifi access and Roku TV provided. Seven windows in the apartment bring good light in the afternoon.
If you need parking, please let us know in advance so we can plan to move our car to the street.
We are always available for questions, concerns, and suggestions for restaurants and local sights. We enjoy meeting our guests and offer to serve breakfast in our part of the house one of the mornings that guests stay with us. Completely optional.
To make guests booking as straight-forward as possible, we do not apply other fees such as a cleaning fee.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Victoria Hutter
Victoria and Rob have lived in this 1935 house for 15 years and in that time, have rented the basement to four different, long-term tenants so we are familiar with property management. We are pleased and proud to have had very positive relationships with all of our tenants. We enjoy getting to know our guests and offer to prepare breakfast on one morning during their stay. Living above the basement we are always easily available should guests have any questions or concerns.
Why they chose this property
This property has character, comfort, and provides access to both urban and natural attractions. Being between two Metro stops (Woodley and Cleveland Parks) on the red line) both a 10 minute-walk away, makes it easy to get anywhere in the city that guests might want to go.
What makes this property unique
Rob and Victoria have many interests that could be attractive to visitors including knowledge of local history and politics. We enjoy meeting others but only if guests are interested in doing so. To that end, we invite guests to join us for breakfast on day during their stay.
