In the heart of historic LeDroit Park, mere steps to neighborhood favorites such as The Royal and Shaw's Tavern. Less than a 10-minute stroll to Howard University, Atlantic Plumbing Cinema, 9:30 Club, and the new Whole Foods. Five minutes to Howard Theatre, nearby shopping/dining, and the Shaw metro (green/yellow lines). The two-story home features oodles of historic charm with modern conveniences. The downstairs foyer leads into a living/dining room with bay windows and eleven-foot ceilings. Pocket doors connect this space to the large kitchen with additional seating for two at the breakfast bar. Fully stocked with spices and cooking supplies, as well as a range of appliances from Instant Pot to waffle maker to blender. The back door from the kitchen opens onto a spacious back deck. Upstairs you'll find a full bath with clawfoot tub, a main bedroom with a queen bed, bay windows, and television; and a second bedroom with queen bed, desk, and television. The townhouse is on a residential block but still in a decidedly urban area. You can generally hear normal street noise from passing trucks, etc. in the front (main) bedroom, so if you need total quiet to sleep you might want to plan on staying in the second bedroom instead. This rental is located above a completely separate basement unit where a long-term tenant lives. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 1,050 square feet ## Similar properties ![1 bedroom, Egyptian cotton sheets, premium bedding, in-room safe](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/10900/10867/2a489cea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The River Inn Northwest - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Air conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 1,822 reviews £103 includes taxes & fees 31 Oct - 1 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-31&endDate=2025-11-01&selected=10867&PinnedHotelID=10867&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/66000000/65410000/65401000/65400999/w1618h1071x0y5-d4019704.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### DuPont - Scandinavian Café & Garden Apartment Downtown Washington D.C. - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.6 Excellent 29 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=65400999&PinnedHotelID=65400999&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118310000/118307500/118307462/e70a4d91.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 2-bedroom rowhome with WiFi, AC in Downtown Washington Northwest - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=118307462&PinnedHotelID=118307462&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Reception](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74900000/74898400/74898384/b0947296.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2500 Penn, a Placemakr Experience Northwest - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Laundry 8.2 Very good 490 reviews £95 includes taxes & fees 16 Nov - 17 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=74898384&PinnedHotelID=74898384&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Bar (on property)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/25400/25341/db7092eb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Dupont Circle Hotel Northwest - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Air conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 1,762 reviews £162 includes taxes & fees 1 Nov - 2 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=25341&PinnedHotelID=25341&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, stovetop, coffee/tea maker](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103330000/103320900/103320842/6e5a2c7a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### HOME AWAY FROM HOME is here for you.
