Historic Row House. Solar Powered!

Summary:
100's of 5 star reviews can't be wrong. Always professionally cleaned & sanitized. Home consists of 2 separate units, main house above and apartment below. House not suitable for anyone that may be mobility impaired as there are many stairs to climb. Amazing neighbors who are quiet and enjoy greeting our guests. Easy access to anywhere in DC. Amazing shops and restaurants within a short walk. Home secured by Vivint Smart Home. Linens and towels professionally cleaned with each guest.

The Space: Historic home with original features. There are 2 sets of stairs to access the home from the street, and steep internal staircase in the main house, so if you are mobility imparied the main house may not work for you. There is a lower level apartment that comes with the rental and has bedroom, bathroom and kitchen on one floor. Meticulous professional cleaning crew that turns the whole house over with every new booking. Home consists of 2 Units, the larger main house and a separate English Basement Apartment. Spread out as you like bc we only rent to 1 group at a time. We've been Superhost's for over 6 years with mostly 5 star reviews! Multiple TV's with Apple TV. Home protected by Vivint Smart home. There is one camera in the dining room but feel free to unplug while in the house. There is no smoking anywhere on the property.

Guest Access:
2 Guest parking passes for street parking are provided (via Park DC registration). Please provide an email address and I will send instructions to register with ParkDC. There is additional parking in a garage 2 blocks away. You will be walking distance to many amazing restaurants, shops, and the local farmers markets. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to cook, however, there are so many great restaurants nearby you will want to try out, but be sure and bring those amazing leftovers home for a late night snack.

The Neighborhood:
Columbia Heights has been recognized as one of the most desirable places to live and play. All modes of transport are at your fingertips including DC's Capital Bikeshare which is right across the street from the apartment. Fit right in with the locals up and down 11th Street (home of Bad Saint - one of DC's best restaurants every year) where there are all sorts of new bars and restaurants...not to mention all of the big box stores and restaurants that are part of the DC USA development.

Getting Around:
Easy access to the best areas of the city via sidewalk, metro, bus or bike. The metro Green/Yellow line is just a block and a half away, and so it is just a short 5 stop trip down to the monuments and museums without transferring metro lines. Multiple bus lines and Capital Bikeshare is right across the street. If you prefer to walk, the house is within an easy 10 minute walk to the U Street, Mt. Pleasant, Petworth and Adams Morgan neighborhoods. On street visitor parking pass is available upon request. There is also a large parking garage on 14th & Irving if you want to park off the street. The cost of the garage is $20 per day.

Other Things to Note:
You'll want to come back every year once you have stayed in our home. We work hard to make this your home away from home. Most importantly, you will not step over or share space w/ other personal items/people during your stay, as we don't live here and make sure that the home is always immaculate upon your arrival. My neighbor is our caretaker, so you always have access to someone should you need assistance.

The preference is corporate groups and travelers; however, __quiet__ families are welcomed! ABSOLUTELY NO parties! Enjoy yourselves but be respectful of the neighbors. Our caretaker lives right next door and available if I can’t be reached. There is no smoking anywhere on the property. You will be charged $500 for extra cleaning protocol.

Interaction with Guests:
I keep my interaction to a minimum but always available should you need anything during your stay. Neighbors are great friends and are also very helpful whenever guests need anything

We stayed at this location for several days over Thanksgiving. Communication was fast, the location is perfect (2 blocks from the metro, and a Target, as well as several restaurants). Our group included 6 people, myself, my husband, our 2 teen/adult children, and my parents. There was enough room for us to have our own space. Would stay here again!

Colin was quick to communicate and even allowed us to check in when the cleaners were done. The place is spacious and roomy for a large family. Street parking was easy with the parking passes. The location is close to the Columbia Heights metro stop so you can quickly get to the Smithsonian and DC attractions. we had a great visit!

This property was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. Just 2 blocks from the Green line, we didn’t need a car, and the walking was safe. Colin was great to work with and made the process extremely easy. The basement apartment included was a huge plus, as it gave the newlyweds their own space. Please consider this property for your next stay.

We were five women celebrating a mile stone birthday who came to explore Washington DC. The home was very close to the metro station that took us everywhere we wanted to go. It was also located in a family neighborhood that was within walking distance of many wonderful restaurants. The home was clean and well appointed, and the host was very responsive to all our needs.

All eight of us enjoyed the home and felt absolutely like it was a home away from home. There were items in the home that we would not have expected to find in a rental. We would not hesitate to tell anyone how welcoming Colin is and how comfortable his home was!! Thanks a bunch!

Beautiful, spacious property. Walked 2 blocks to the train station for an easy trip into Smithsonians, The Mall, D.C. Easy drive to zoo, Georgetown, Arlington Cemetery......great location. My husband and I plus our four grown children were quite comfortable in the space. Plenty of room to watch football, play games, make meals. Loved our time in DC!!!

We had a fabulous stay at Colin's place. It has everything you need and more! My family of food and coffee lovers were very pleased with the setup in the kitchen. I've stayed in many, many vacation rentals and this is the first one with a KitchenAid mixer and Cuisinart food processor. Also, the art and antiques in the townhome are lovely. The neighborhood has several good restaurants within walking distance. We had a car, but never had a problem finding parking on the same block as the house. This is a great place to stay and we'd definitely stay here again.

This is a beautiful and spacious home. It is located within walking distance to a Metro Train Station and Metro bus stops. From the station, it is only a 15 minute ride to The Mall, as well as many museums and monuments. From Regan Airport, the home is a twenty minute ride on the subway and a ten minute walk. The owner of this vacation rental has provided generous and lovely amenities. He promptly responded to our questions and concerns. If you have plans to visit Washington DC and need a spacious home, I highly recommend this property I Columbia Heights.

This house was very impressive! The house provided enough space for my family to eat, talk, and play the four days we had together. The location of this home is in a great spot and around fun places. The owner(Colin) was very nice and attentive to me and my family. We learned some history behind the house which made our stay even more memorable. There was parking available but the moving of the cars for the two weekday's included in our stay was a little annoying. But I would not have picked a better home going this route. Thank You Colin, for opening your home to me and my family celebrating our 10th year Liz Kidz family reunion!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic VRBO listing, and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. From the moment I arrived until the day I left, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations and made my vacation truly unforgettable. First and foremost, the location of this property is wonderful and is just a few minutes from the green line metro. This made travel around the DC metro a breeze. You were also a few minutes walk from several stores including Target, CVS and as well as a few restraurants. Moreover, the host's hospitality was exceptional. They were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond. My only critisim would be if you have small children, there are a lot of rules around the property that would be difficult with small children. Additionally, the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom have no rail and we were all a little leary of them. In short this place and the host are amazing. If we every travel back to DC we would like stay here again.

This house is in a great location near stores, restaurants, and subway station. Living rooms have comfortable furniture. Apartment (outside front entrance) downstairs nice for giving guests space. Parking available but be very careful about the rules. Despite trying to follow them, we got a ticket anyway for parking on the wrong side on Tuesday (apparently that rule only applies October through April or May). Be aware that the beds are not exactly as shown in the pictures but closer to what is listed not shown. Washer/dryer come in handy. Dryer vent kept falling off but Colin said he would get that fixed. Owner is very responsive to questions or concerns. Only recommendations...to maybe upgrade a mattress or two and no pizza cutter to be found. Overall, recommend this place for exploring DC. Great stay.

Great home! We had 11 of us and we all had plenty of room. I usually rate a hotel or VRBO off cleanliness, safe location and the shower (water pressure, no soft water and shower wand) *Cleanliness - Sheets, bedding, towels etc were all nice and clean. Throw pillows could use a little help but other than that it was comfy cozy. *Location - Since I’ve never visited DC before it was hard to judge but it is a big, busy city and I didn’t feel like it wasn’t safe. Didn’t miss a wink of sleep. *Shower - Excellent! No soft water ( I hate soft water) I know, I know… it’s better for your skin but it always feels like I can’t get the shampoo out of my hair and soap off my body. Great shower pressure and it had a wand. Yeah! Over all… we really weren’t there much other than breakfast and to shower and sleep. It was comfy and recommend.

This place is sparkling clean, every last inch. Items are either brand new or in excellent shape. Entire place is very well lit. Water pressure is excellent with plenty of hot water. Air conditioning is robust. Décor is very cheery. Super friendly-feel to this place; a very welcoming home. Kitchen details: KitchenAid mixer, food processor, heavy-bottomed pans, many sharp knives, and gadgets galore. I cooked dinner from scratch every night for my family of four. Serving ware is ample. More specifics: Beds were very comfortable, from the mattress to the blankets to the pillows. Upholstered furniture were all very comfortable and clean. This is the first place I’ve ever stayed that had ample dish and laundry detergent, toilet paper, shampoo, bath/sink soap, and towels; very generous. Street is bustling with cars and walkers all day long. The neighborhood feels very friendly and safe. Lots of folks walking dogs, pushing strollers, jogging, walking with kids, and both kids and adults biking or scootering by. Across the street is a school where folks played soccer every night (no loud music; just happy kid noises). We really enjoyed hanging out on the front porch couch. Colin is the host that you always hoped for. He responds very quickly when contacted for anything. Always super helpful and went above and beyond on everything. You can tell he loves this property and really wants his guests to enjoy their stay. It shows. Such a wonderful and generous host.
