Columbia Heights is a neighborhood well-known for its diverse multicultural community and strong neighborhood pride. Located in the Northwest Quadrant, Columbia Heights sits right in the middle of some of the city's most active and desirable neighborhoods. This bustling neighborhood is just minutes from some of the best food, shopping, bars, and attractions in the country.
One of the greatest luxuries of DC: GREAT public transportation! The Columbia Heights Metro stop is a short 5 minute walk. There are also plenty scooters, bikes, and Uber/Lyft (they are FAST so make sure to be ready when you order it). - We love and respect our neighbors and our house - please do the same. - Please, no excessive noise, parties, events. - Only guests on the reservation may occupy the house. - Quiet hours are in place from 10pm to 8am. (As this is a row home neighbors are close by, and the upstairs unit is occupied year-round.) - No smoking and no pets. - The DC community cares about recycling and preserving the environment - please separate trash and recycling. - Please be tidy and clean up as necessary: dishes, trash, etc... - Enjoy DC!

Beautiful condo with a cozy living room, two spacious bedrooms and a modern kitchen (laundry room too)Lovely place with on street permit parking included and a short uber ride to all the sights. We loved it - highly recommend!
Super cute basement apartment. Newly renovated in soothing colors. Even though it is in the basement, it has windows and felt airy. We were able to walk to lunch and grocery. Kitchen amenities were good, especially coffee provided. Streets parking was always available. We will stay here again!
Great location for our purpose of visit. Close to the Metro, restaurants and Howard University. Very walkable for all of our needs. Spacious for 5 adults (all family), nice kitchen and bar seating made for a great open space to visit and enjoy a nice meal in. Comfortable beds, tall ceilings for garden apartment, nice closet shelving provided storage.We would stay here again.
Very fresh remodel. Looks brand new. Very clean. Safe neighborhood. Eight minute safe walk to metro, Target and Best Buy. Decent sized rooms full sized laundry. New appliances and supplies. Smart TV in LR and one BR. 25 minutes to the DC mall. Linens are 8/10. Host communicates immediately.
Came with my partner and her kids and their friends to celebrate a birthday and had a great time. Lovely place which was aesthetically pleasing, clean, and had a great layout. Loved it!
We were very pleased with our stay here. The owners provided a lot of info on the area and recommendations for places to eat. Close to public transportation. I do believe, however, that photos of the property, don’t do it justice. It was roomier than I anticipated, which was much appreciated as we were home-bound a little more than we expected it to be. I’d rent this place again in a heartbeat
The property was very clean and exactly as described. There was a lingering cleaner scent when we first checked in, but it aired out quickly once we opened doors and windows. Austin was great at communicating with me, and very quick to answer questions and provide information on street parking. The location of the apartment was great—lots of activities around Columbia Heights, and close to the metro station.
The Stellar Cellar was clean, spacious, comfortable and conveniently located. The shower is excellent! And it was very convenient to be able to wash and dry our clothes before returning home. The owners were super responsive. I would definitely recommend and would come back again next time!
Amazing experience. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. The “cellar ” was beautiful and very cozy. Location was great. Only a 10 minute walk to the metro.
We popped up to DC for a heartbreakingly short stay but we absolutely loved it! The kitchen is well stocked with equipment for home meals, and the location is close to the metro station, restaurants and grocery stores! We had no problem navigating to the Smithsonian! Next time I plan a visit to DC I’m definitely going to be checking this VRBO availability first!
The apartment experience was as presented in the pictures. While being in a basement, it did not lack for light.The only fault in the rear bedroom was the lack of an ability to soften the lighting. An option from the in celling lights would have been appreciated. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood and parking our car was as easy as stated.
