Best of Brookland! Family Friendly w Private Parking!

Summary:
Our lovely english basement apartment is located in the heart of Brookland`s eclectic college neighborhood, and is perfect for those hoping for a relaxing city experience. With private parking & easy access to public transportation (and all the major Washington D.C. sights, monuments and mall), we know guests will enjoy our home

The Space:
Parents and professors - the search stops here!  Our darling 2 bedroom/ 2 bath apartment is a stone`s throw from both Catholic University of America & Howard University, and boasts all the creature comforts from home.   

The apartment is set on the lower level of a classic Brookland bungalow house, with its own separate access and sprawls the entire square footage of the home, on one lower level.

It`s a light and bright open kitchen living area with plenty of room to spread out. We can sleep 6 guests comfortably with the following room / bed layout;

- Queen sized bed in the primary bedroom
- Queen sized bed in the second bedroom
- Sofa in the living room expands to sleep 2 guests.
- Full kitchen
- 2 full bathrooms (one is an en-suite to the primary bedroom, complete with a soaking tub).

While you have access to a full kitchen, the dining options in Bloomindale are excellent, so don`t miss out on some of those hotspots, and we of course love to share our recommendations!

Enjoy the shared patio area immediately outside the apartment.. There is also plenty of space to run in the shared backyard if you are bringing the kiddo`s! (Shared with owner in the main house but rarely used).

Everything is provided for your stay; strong wifi, TV with smart streaming, fluffy towels and linens, and all the supplies. We look forward to hosting you! Our home is ready to host up to 6 guest with this construction:

Private off street parking included - a rarity in D.C.!

Guest Access:
The apartment entrance is located at the rear of the house. The apartment is not shared, and it is entirely yours to enjoy.

There is a family living upstairs. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life.

The Neighborhood:
Brookland, lovingly referred to by the locals as ‘Little Italy`, is a leafy residential neighborhood home to the Franciscan Monastery (an oasis of peace, built in the 1800`s with beautiful gardens, great place to sit and relax), Catholic University and the largest Basilica in the US. It`s away from the hustle and bustle of the city while only 2 to 3 stops on the Metro from Union station, moments from downtown, the mall and monuments.
Murals line the Brookland sidewalks, providing an ever evolving backdrop - transforming the busy streets into colorful exhibitions. Enjoy the wonderful, artsy neighborhood with tons of great dining options!

Getting Around:
The metro is super close, Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro only a 9 minute stroll from the home, and follows the Red line. 
The H8 bus can take you directly to the station in just over 5 minutes. Once you are on the train you are just 2 stops to Union station where you can walk to the Capitol building and down onto the Mall!! The Brookland metro which is surrounded by bars and restaurants is also close by, 18 mins on foot (runs the red line). The G8 bus can take you directly to the Brookland-CUA metro in 12.
Uber taxi`s are plentiful in the area as well, park and ride are also available at Rhode Island Metro station. 0.4 miles from the house.

First time
This was my first time renting thru this service. I could receive an answer thru an email 24/7. The apartment was clean and situated in a quiet neighborhood. There were 4 adults and as 9 month old. There was plenty of room. Overall satisfaction was excellent for all the categories above. I will likely use this web service again.

As listed
Property was exactly as expected. No issues. Property owners were in contact to ensure no unexpected problems. Parking is a little tight if youre not used to the city but thats just the nature of the area and not reflective of the property or owners.

D C Spring Break
The property was as advertised. Overall clean and tidy and amenities were as advertized. The couch arm is broken but did not affect stay or use. It is a basement apt, which I knew and had typical noise from upstairs, but nothing I haven't experienced in a hotel. Easy walk to metro and easy drive to downtown.

Visitors for first time
Place was okay however the parking is very tight and shared with other tenants. Place really needed a deep cleaning as refrigerator had leftover ice cream cup and lot of hair in living room.

Cute Basement Apartment
It was just what we needed. The space was super cute and well maintained. No issues with booking or check-in. We didn't recall the listing stating that it is a basement apartment with the owner living above us. Just FYI. (It really only mattered when we ordered food. We simply went up to the front so delivery would not disturb the owner with our deliveries.) Upon arrival we noticed that one bath was missing a shower curtain. After contacting the property manager, someone was sent to put up the curtain. While he was there, he also replaced a lightbulb in the hallway. The gentleman was a very courteous. Communication with the property manager was pretty swift. For example, my roomie used the wrong face cloth to remove makeup and paying to have it replaced was as simple as an email. The only other issue we had was the lack of lighting on the walkway from the front gate to the door. While there are three lights to illuminate the path, only one of them was working. When returning from dinner we simply used our phones to light the path to avoid a tripping hazard. The back gate is a bit difficult to open. If you intend on parking in the back, just be aware that you may need extra time to get the gate open. (You will also have to get back there to throw away the trash and recycling). Great stay in a great neighborhood.

Fit us perfectly
Great and efficient place, well equipped. We usually bring most of our own cooking supplies (I am picky!), but we forgot. Turned out to be no problem! Parking was convenient, Seemed a bit tight, but turned out fine even for our long Toyota minivan. Close to grocery store. Quiet neighborhood.

Great spot
This was a perfect spot for our family of 4 to visit both the Mall and several of the local colleges (very close to Catholic). The property was clean. There is plenty of light even though it is a basement location. Parking was great. I would suggest more dishes/utensils/glasses be added to the kitchen.

Nice property
This is a nice property on a quiet street with about a 3 block walk to Metro/dining/shopping. The private parking (on the alley behind the property) was a nice plus and not real common in the DC area.
