Modern Two-Bedrooms Flat in Shaw - The Heart of DC

Walk everywhere from this spacious first-floor (English basement) apartment with a separate entrance. It is located in Shaw, historic neighborhood, which is central from the nightlife and restaurants of Shaw, Bloomingdale, 14th Street, and Chinatown and just a few blocks from the Convention Center. Metro is about a 10-minute walk. This 2 bedroom/1 bathroom unit is great for individuals, couples, business travelers, and families.

This lovely apartment can comfortably sleep six people. There are queen beds in each of the two bedrooms and a pullout couch in the living room for additional sleeping arrangement. All beds have European-style sheets (fitted sheet on the bottom and a duvet cover on the top). The bedrooms are far apart so each set of occupants have plenty of privacy. There is a plethora of street parking around the apartment.

The place was really clean and great for two couples. If you are over six feet tall look for someplace else to stay--the ceiling is VERY low. The beds are comfortable and there are bedside tables on both sides of the beds. The entry is in an alleyway, and there's some sketchy wildlife out there, and some odd steps, so be careful if you're finding it in the dark. You can hear every footstep and conversation from upstairs. The neighborhood is quiet and interesting to walk around. Cool architecture, great bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and a fun farmers market nearby on Sundays. We had an event at the convention center and were able to walk there pretty easily, and there's lime bikes and capital share bikes all over the place. We walked to the mall too, but that's a couple miles.

Very cute apartment in a great location.

I was concerned staying downtown DC for our trip, but this apartment was very comfortable and fully furnished with everything we needed. We were able to walk almost anywhere. Parking was super convenient and never had an issue finding a spot. Owner was very responsive to us as well. Highly recommend!

Clean and private apartment. The beds were very soft. There was a great expresso machine and lots of towels. Nice kitchen and very comfortable space. Steps going down to the apartment were steep but there were only 2 or 3.

Great Location

We enjoyed being fairly close to the capital area and a little over 1/2 mile to hop on a subway. Many food options and a grocery store within walking distance. We really only spent nights in the apartment, but everyone seemed to sleep well! Everything was clean and ready for us.

DC Girls Trip

I went on a girls weekend trip with some friends to explore DC. This place was a perfect spot for us to stay for the price. Not as close as if you stayed at a hotel downtown but it was easy to grab an Uber or walk to the metro. The place was very clean and had everything we needed! The host was lovely and always responsive.

Family visit to DC

Good location in quiet neighborhood. Very secure alley entry. LOVED the convenience of the washer/dryer as our stay was for several nights. Only complaint was the upstairs child running around in the mornings and evenings which was occasionally quite loud. But aside from that it was an excellent stay!

Great Value in Good Location

Strengths:•Easy and free street parking•Convenient to Capital One Arena, Convention Center, and Shaw neighborhood•Nicely equipped apartment with comfortable beds•Lots of seatingWeaknesses:•Basement apartment with low ceilings – not for tall people – cramped bathroom, and poor sound isolation from floor above– difficult locks and doorknobs– entry is from rat-infested alleyOverall, we enjoyed our stay. It was a very good base for traveling to the Mall, Penn Triangle, Columbia Heights, Shaw, etc.

Nice basement apartment not far from The Mall. Convenient to walk or try public transportation. My family enjoyed our stay (2 adults, 3 kids). Careful if you're over 6 ft tall. And read all parking signs.

Historical Stay

Great location in an area of beautiful historical brick homes close to Capitol, White house, museums and more. Good restaurants very close to flat. It is a basement apartment so lighting is somewhat limited. Noise from upper flat was an issue at times.
