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.

This was a terrific place to stay! The booking and check-in/out processes were very easy. It is located in a very convenient area, close to lots of restaurants, and around a 15 minute walk to the metro. We felt very safe the entire stay and would stay here again!

Spartan but charming place to stay. The combination of location and price is hard to beat! 4 people staying here would be cozy, it felt just about perfect for two of us. Also, the ceiling is a bit low in spots, I just cleared it at 6'. Taller people will need to watch their heads. Overall a great place to stay for an extended visit in the DC area!

Spacious apartment, Great kitchen. Bed surprised us that it was so comfortable; seemed soft to get onto (we like only firm.) Comfortable temp. in the apt (outside went from very hot to very chilly in a day!)Easy walk into Silver Springs. Ruti was great to leave us the driveway parking spot while she navigated street parking. Would definitely stay there again.

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.
