Use of shared laundry room is free of charge. PETS of all sizes are welcome to stay at NO extra charge. The place is a real paradise for pets as it is surrounded by a tall fence and pets can play outside in the back yard without a leash. The wooded park area with many hiking trails overlooking the creek is great for long walks. A neighborhood dog's park is within walking distance from the house. Guests driving cars are welcome! 24/7 free public street parking and possibly a driveway parking are available. TRANSPORTATION. The house is located between 16th Street and Beach Drive. 16th Street is a straight line to the White House and most of Washington's business and tourist attractions. There are at least 3 buses running one after another along the 16th street. Bus stop is within a 7 min walk from the house. Columbia Heights metro stop is several bus stops away. The central location of the house and its close proximity to downtown makes Uber one of the most economical ways of transportation. In rush hour an Uber ride may cost less than a Metro ride. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Street parking available - Onsite parking includes off-street options ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Full-sized refrigerator/freezer - Microwave - Oven - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden - Patio - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a zoo ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Foosball table ### 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) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/57000000/56220000/56218900/56218812/40729728.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely guest suite in a quiet but close-in neighborhood Northwest - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 45 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-24&endDate=2026-01-25&selected=56218812&PinnedHotelID=56218812&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76120000/76114000/76113982/15870443.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rest Easy in this Bloomingdale English Basement near 4 DC Hospitals Northwest - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.4 Very good 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-24&endDate=2026-01-25&selected=76113982&PinnedHotelID=76113982&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78520000/78518400/78518377/w907h683x59y0-eda87689.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Renovated Boutique Studio in DC /Free Street Parking Northeast - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-24&endDate=2026-01-25&selected=78518377&PinnedHotelID=78518377&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99860000/99858300/99858243/b05a4eb3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 850sq. ft basement apartment in quiet area of Rock Creek Park Northwest - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review £249 includes taxes & fees 11 Jan - 12 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-11&endDate=2026-01-12&selected=99858243&PinnedHotelID=99858243&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99450000/99440400/99440364/18f5233c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A stylish & remarkable experience at The Swank!

The property was great. Just outside the city in a beautiful park-like neighborhood. Perfect for us and our dog, who enjoyed the yard and our walks to Rick Creek Park. We were close enough to downtown DC to enjoy all the sights and return to a quiet suburban residence and enjoy quiet peaceful nights. Natasha was a fantastic host and made sure our stay was all we had hoped for. ##### Denise B.

However, the game room more than makes up for the size. It could use some cleaning, but overall, the location is fantastic, featuring beautiful architecture and plenty of greenery. The hostess is very friendly and provided helpful information on navigating the city using public transportation. ##### Gulnora Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What an amazing host!

The apartment was well furnished and clean. Being able to bring our dog was a huge plus. The host is friendly and easily reached. A good choice if you have a car and want a quieter place (and especially if you have a dog). ##### Rich D.

They made us feel so welcome with our elderly lab mix. He was equally comfortable with the stay. The location is in a beautiful neighborhood close to the Rock Creek park. While we brought our dog with us for most outings, we were also able to let him stay comfortably behind when best for him. There are many thoughtful details that the hosts have added to the apartment. We would definitely return! ##### Carrie B.

We stayed here for my son’s graduation from American University. We needed dog-friendly accommodations in case our usual dog-sitting arrangement didn’t work out (in the end, our dog ended up staying home). Natasha’s place was in a quiet, safe neighborhood and the accommodations were clean and well-supplied with lots of conveniences to make it feel like home. The property is accurately described in the listing. A great value for accommodations in the District, especially since there is room to park your car. (Hotels charge $$$ for parking!!!) Highly recommend. ##### Cheryl G.

Property allowed dogs, and the fenced in backyard worked very well for exercising the dog as well as the park with walking trails that was close. We had access to the game room with large living room area and pool table as well as 2nd bathroom. We were in DC to spend Thanksgiving with our daughter who lives in Georgetown, so this property was quite close to where she lives and works. Natasha was very helpful with details about the property, answered my many questions, and did everything she could to make our stay very enjoyable. We enjoyed our stay, and will stop again when we are visiting our daughter. ##### Ty S.

This was the place. Unfortunately, we lost our beloved Brittany prior to our trip but we still came and were not disappointed. Natasha is very personable and the apartment was clean, quiet and close to everything. We did read the negative comments from a prior traveler and don't understand the issues. The smell she stated was due to the carpets being cleaned and was not an issue, it didn't last and was barely noticable. This location and host are the best. You won't be disappointed. ##### Marion C. ### 4/10 Poor #### Jim A., Jasper, GA 6 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Property needs work The host was very gracious letting us change dates. Very pleasant to deal with personally. BUT 1\. Shared driveway /gravel parking description was erroneous. Really meant Parking on street. With a 75 feet walk up a hill driveway to get to more steps. 2\. Climb continued up several steps up a sidewalk that was not lit at night. Better have a flashlight. 3\. Was redirected through backyard. Backyard walk is 12 inch pavers pathway in very slippery mud. Up and down a hill. Again no lights at night. Path was overgrown with trees and ivy that kept slapping us in the face. 4\. Entrance at bottom of steps with no rail. Wall covered in ivy so you can’t steady yourself in fear of animals in ivy (snakes?). 5\. Musty/musky smell in apt. Although it appeared clean, no sign of bugs. But BR had some mildew. 6\. Plumbing issue upon arrival. Asked us to place toilet paper in trash instead of toilet. I did not, flushed waste first, then toilet paper, worked fine. Said previous guest flushed paper towels. After 12 years of VRBO my first negative review. Process was great. Facility needs work. ##### Jim A.

It's very close to the Smithsonian museums and it's pet friendly. The neighbourhood is very quiet and safe. And if you love nature, this is the place. And if you are not planning to hit the road, there is a very nice entertainment room where you can play pool. Natasha, it was very nice meeting you and a big hug to Cocos (hosts Welsh terrier). ##### Fitzgerald S.

We got to D.C. with our dog and were immediately welcomed to the home by Ms. Spivack. She showed us the layout of the living area, bedroom, and the shared TV/pool room that added bonus to our small private space. There is a fenced backyard that our dog shared with her Welsh terrier, who eventually made friends with our dog (our dog can be aloof with other dogs!). The living room sofa converts to a guest bed, which is good for people bringing additional guests. The kitchen was perfect for snacks and making cereal in the morning. We parked in front of the house on the street and had no problem with traffic. This house is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood not far from the DC Zoo and a large park nearby. We walked our dog around the neighborhood and found it to be peaceful and soothing. If you find you need doggie bags to pick up after your pup, there are bags in the fenced backyard of the house. Overall, this was a great place to stay on our trip to DC and we highly recommend it to others! ##### EJ H.

The property is just what it advertises to be. The neighborhood is very nice. The proximity to Rock Creek Park was incredible. Our dogs also loved the fenced in backyard to play. It's a perfect little getaway for a couple. ##### Melissa H.
