About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming, quiet, and 7 min walk to zoo, Metro, and restaurants

Where else can you be a 7-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 basement 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 and we will order a free parking pass for the street in front of our house.

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.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Smithsonian's National Zoo. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.

Vic and Rob were wonderful hosts. Thank you for having me as a guest. This place was everything I needed and was exactly where I needed it to be, close to everything, and in a beautiful neighborhood. Can’t wait to come back with my dog and others. Cheers!

Short trip to DC
When I decided to book this place the pictures shown online was not very eye catching with two of the pictures being blurry. We had all intentions of sight seeing and not being inside the whole trip. The location itself was great. Everything was in walking distance for us. There was food, starbucks and even the Zoo! Our host wasn't there when we first arrived and I was not complaining because it was very quiet. The girls and I loved it. We are very light sleepers. There was very specific instructions left for us on where to find the key. Matter of fact there was two pages of very specfic instructions left on the table about everything so you wouldn't need the host all weekend if you didn't want too. Parking is street parking, which is always horrendous but what do you expect? It was more annoying than anything having to park streets away with luggage. The AC unit started leaking water, it did not affect our personal items but it was an inconvenience. The owner responded promptly when I notified her. The bed was comfortable. I loved the ability to use the washer/dryer. The kitchen was cute. The only problem I had was the kitchen sink had food debris in it. There was a hair bow with blonde/white hair in the soap bowl in the bathroom. The shower was extremely tiny (yes that was explained on the list). There was a stain on one of the pillowcase on the sofa bed. When the host were up you can definitely tell!

Perfect location next to the zoo
This was a great place for our family with a 4 and 6 year old. It was right around the corner from the zoo and a short walk to the metro. The hosts were so great and even got us some drinks and fruit when we got there.

Lovely spot!
Vic and Rob were kind and hospitable. The space was more than enough for me. Everything worked well. A lot of light for a basement apartment. I’d stay again.
