Bloomingdale Beauty in NW DC 9 blocks from Union Station, near RED LINE/NOMA
If you are looking for an authentic experience do consider staying at my home during your stay in DC. I am located on a tree-lined block in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in NW. It's a neighborhood of only about 12 square blocks with many hidden treasures: unassuming dive bars, surprise parks and award-winning restaurants. Bloomingdale is sandwhiched between the neighborhoods of Shaw and Eckington. It is on the border of the District’s northwest quadrant, stretching from Second Street NW to North Capitol, bordered by Florida Avenue NW to the south and Bryant and Channing places NW to the north.
Bloomingdale Beauty is a spacious Victorian home with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. It can hold comfortably 13 guests. However, there are only 10 beds. Air beds and tatamis are available for additional persons beyond 10. I offer my home as a clean, cheap, and safe place to sleep and recharge in the Nation's Capital. It's humble and doable for a few nights. There's a kitchen per your use. However, should you need to really cook, you will have to bring your essentials.
The home has a dining room with a very large wood table, a living room to lounge with guests; an iron with an ironing board; hangers; and etc. PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the upper unit of the home. There is a basement unit as well. Each unit is completely private and secure. There may be guests in the basement unit during your stay. There is a security system with cameras on the outside's front entry and back exit of home.

..... keep looking.
At first look, the house was attractive. Upon arrival In DC, while im trying to spend time with my family, i get constant emails from the owner that i need to go ahead and check in and contact vrbo to let them know my family was with me.( ive spent way too much money on this weekend to want to keep dealing with this woman). Arrival at the property, its July 4, 90+ degrees outside, the house was soooo hot. I tried contacting the owner to unlock the thermostat, she told me to turn on the window units that were already on, and didnt work. Bathroom upstairs was shetchy at best, nobody wanted to go in there for fear of falling through the floor. Says it sleeps like 14, thats because it contains as many very cheap twin beds in every room as possible. No doubles if you want to sleep next to your spouse. Had to push 2 beds together, and they werent even the same height. Sleeps 14, but has a dining table for 6. What sense does that make? And only common area has the smallest, cheapest couch that fits maybe 2, uncomfartably. Owner should have saved money on tacky "art" and made it more livable. Also, shes apparently very proud of being a doctor, has her credentials posted everywhere and always brings it up when she gets bad reviews, check them out for a good laugh. Oh, and the instructions about cleaning before you leave... made it very clear she didnt want 1 hair left in the bathroom. Arent owners resposible for cleaning and sanitising between guests? Find a better place people.

We had a group of adults attending a convention in Washington DC. The property was perfect for what we needed. The only thing that would help would be more chairs for the table. It was HOT and HUMID while we were there as well. I know there were only window air conditioners….so maybe some oscillating fans would have been beneficial as well. Dr. Koura did stop by and this woman was amazing. So kind….so understanding. Thank you Dr. Koura for allowing to stay at your house. It was an honor.

I had about nine people stay in this house and it worked absolutely amazingly! The neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors were sweet whenever they saw us. The were a few dead bugs in the showers when we first got there but overall was clean and beautiful. Would stay again!

DO NOT STAY HERE
The pictures and description of the property paint a beautiful place. Absolutely not. From the moment we walked in there was a noticeable musky smell. I took pictures of the buildup of dirt in the air vents, the oven I was afraid to cut on from the grease buildup in it, the bathrooms were the worst with broken tiles on the floors, loose sinks not mounted properly and mildew on the sinks and showers. My wife and I both ended up with sinus infections by the next morning after sleeping there. The place is in need of some serious repairs and cleaning

Quaint neighborhood, plenty of beds
This place is as stated and as pictured in the write-up. It really shines for those who need a lot of beds to accommodate a bigger group. If you want something fancy, you will easily pay double what this is. Since we were doing a lot of sight-seeing, we were only there to sleep and take showers, and this place is perfect for that situation. This place has a lot of basic twin beds and the showers are older, but absolutely perfectly fine. There were window AC units in each room that worked great and the temp was good. The downstairs is as seen in the pics and is quite cool…almost like an art gallery. The neighborhood was very residential and quiet, not like the bustling city you’ll pass through to get there. I also easily found parking outside the place, but don't know if that’s always the case. I never ordered the parking pass from the owner or anything like that. We did not get a ticket or towed away. The area feels safe, but is very urban….don’t expect the suburbs or the country.
Went to DC w our kids and an exchange student who is stating w us from France. We went to The National Mall, The White House, and The Monuments. I wouldn’t say they’re close by this residence, but we drove over there and, on a late Sat afternoon, found parking.

Just what we needed!
First of all, Dr. Koura was an excellent host! We needed help with directions to her home from the train station, I called Dr. Koura and without hesitation she gave us the directions to her home! Upon arriving to her home, it was just as described! The outside was beautiful! We felt very safe in her home! Very quiet neighborhood. We had no issues at all! The decor in the home was beautiful. The home was very clean. There were clean linens on the beds. There was soap and towels in every bathroom. The kitchen was immaculate and there was enough space for everyone! Dr. Koura was very accessible! The whole time she stayed in contact with us to make sure that everything was going well. The location of the home was close to everything that we had planned on visiting! We were able to Instacart groceries and took advantage of cooking in her beautiful kitchen! There were enough dishes, pots, and pans to do everything that we wanted! We are so thankful that we found this beautiful home to stay in during our trip in Washington! Hopefully, when we visit Washington again this home will be available! Thank you, Dr. Koura for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! God bless!

Small Town kids hit the city
Overall our stay was good. There was plenty of space for our students and it was easy to find our way to the nearest metro station. Could have used a few more pots, pans and utensils for cooking as we did prepare meals at dinner and breakfast.. Made it a bit challenging. The kids initially complained there was no TV but after a very short time they adapted.

DC Fam Vaca
Overall the home was nice, centrally located, fairly comfortable for our family, ages 2-60. Bloomingdale beauty is showing her age. Safety was my main concern. There is a gas stove in the kitchen, when starting, it didn't ignite immediately, causing a gas oder and a fire flash. I've used gas many times. That should not happen. Ceramic floors in bathrooms are broken and sharp edges exist. Listing states there is parking, but a pass must be purchased for weekday parking (weekends don't require). The heat requires a pin, not provided till requested. Additional family members decided to join us, there were additional charges for them. Make sure you have exact numbers at reserve time, no extra charge then. The Host was out of the country, which slowed communications. All beds are singles, as pictured. Very limited seating, no tv, sparse kitchen supplies. The home is as portrayed in listing. The maid was very helpful.

Great spot for groups
Large house with plenty beds and futons. Had a large group of friends meet and stay here to see the capitals play and we all had a great time. Great food nearby and easy to Uber to everywhere we went. You would be hard pressed to find a space that will sleep a large group as comfortably and efficiently as this house. Would recommend and would stay again.

Great Stay
This place was very accommodating for a group of buddies hanging out in DC for the weekend. The house was clean, and there was ample space for everyone. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was in a great spot and was very walkable. Communication with the host was prompt and professional. Checkout was easy. Only a very minor downside was the ice machine didn’t work and there weren’t trays, but the neighborhood is packed with stores. Not a big deal at all. Would definitely consider returning here.

Wonderful Stay in a Clean and Spacious House
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this house for a weekend getaway and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the location and spaciousness of the house. Everything was spotless and functional, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
The location of the house was fantastic. It was conveniently situated in a great neighborhood, close to popular attractions and amenities. I was able to explore the area easily and access everything I needed without any hassle.
One aspect that stood out to me was the excellent communication with the host. They were prompt and responsive to any inquiries or requests I had before and during my stay. It made the whole experience much more enjoyable and stress-free.
Overall, I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a pleasant and comfortable stay. The spaciousness, great location, and exceptional communication with the host make it a top choice. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Unbelievably Disappointed
The kitchen faucet only produced a trickle of water for 24 hours till it was fixed on day two of our stay. There was no dishwasher to clean our dishes. We could not believe the house was prepared for our stay without running water in the kitchen.
The third floor bathroom had an accumulation of dirt in the corners. With seven beds in the house, only having 4 chairs for the large dining table, made it so we had to eat in shifts for our stay involving 6 adults and 3 children. The cooking pots, pans, and utensils were in poor condition and not adequate. For example, there was only one large knife in the kitchen. Also, the kitchen trash can was small. Only on the last day the owner contacted us to separate the trash and recycle things in different containers out back. We discovered the wooden back steps were rickety and the railing ready to fall off.
There us no television in this rental. The gas stove clicks all the time during use and lights poorly.
We felt the need to report this unit to VRBO and recommend against renting this unit.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad
This is my second home. I lived in it for 4 years. It is located in Bloomingdale, NW, DC, in one of the most sought after communities in the area. The homes in this neighborhood are gorgeous and stately Victorians. I no longer live here and offer it to budget travelers visiting our Nation's Capital.
Qué distingue a esta propiedad
The grandeur of the Victorian age is personified in the Victorian homes of Bloomingdale. The wood floors, high ceilings, and the openness reception of the first level are stunning.
