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 1,823 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 1,763 reviews £162 includes taxes & fees 31 Oct - 1 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-31&endDate=2025-11-01&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.

Plenty of grocery stores within a 30 minute walk. Lovely back patio for wine on a warm day. Plenty of coffee! Wine opener was missing and owner had one sent the same day. We don’t usually watch TV, but the World Series was on ( and we’re from LA) and we were unable to figure out how to use either TV. ##### peter l. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 1 Apr 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Just OK We’ve stayed in many excellent short-term rentals via VRBO that deserved five-star ratings. To be fair to those exceptional stays, we can only rate this one as “just okay.”•The property is located at the intersection of a major thoroughfare and a very busy street, resulting in constant and significant traffic noise. The front (larger) bedroom was particularly affected, making it difficult for us to sleep. If you require both bedrooms, earplugs are a must. Additionally, the property is situated along the ambulance route to a nearby hospital—on one evening alone, we counted nine sirens passing directly under the bedroom window.•The furnishings, cabinets, appliances, and cookware are of lower quality, giving the space a budget feel. The owners could greatly improve the experience by upgrading essentials, such as replacing the warped and scratched pans.•While the rental was generally clean, we were disappointed to find dirty pots and pans placed back in the cabinets upon arrival.That said, we did enjoy our stay in DC, as the location was convenient. Despite the issues mentioned, the property itself was acceptable, but it didn’t stand out compared to other rentals we’ve experienced. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ricardo C. 1 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Muy acogedor Muy bonito lugar, solo la ubicación es algo concurrida, y cerca hay mucho vagabundo. Pero es de fácil llegar en metro o en carro, aunque el hecho de imprimir el permiso del parking, fue algo difícil porque no teníamos donde hacerlo, pienso que deberían dejar un trajeron ya impreso para solo colocarlo en el vehículo y al final dejarlo ahí mismo. La atención fue muy buena y puntual. ##### Ricardo C. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin P. 7 Nov 2024 ##### Erin P.
