Apartmnt in DC- 3 miles to the White House. Pets are welcome! Private English Basement apartment in the scenic, quiet, safe, and upscale neighborhood of Rock Creek Park- one of the Best Kept Secrets in DC--just a few miles from the White House. A perfect retreat for a single person or a couple, with (or without) children, pets, and cars. This very private apartment has a bedroom with queen-size bed, a kitchen/living room combo with a sleeper sofa, and full-size appliances. The apartment has a private entrance and a private patio. A semi-private big entertainment/game room with a pool table, a fireplace, foosball, and a 70" screen TV lounge area is adjacent to your apartment and can be used for your personal relaxation or social gatherings. The value that stands out and makes the difference. \-- free 24-hour parking \-- free laundry \-- free pets' stay in the fenced-off spacious yard. \-- free SmartTrip public transportation 2 cards (metro and bus) Ideal for a person or a couple with/ without children, pets and cars, who value their privacy and security, and it is just perfect for a romantic couple desiring a romantic retreat in the heart of the nation's capital. The kitchen has everything -- from full-sized refrigerator, oven, and microwave to a Keurig and regular coffee makers, toaster, electric teapot, iron, and ironing board-- just about anything to make your stay carefree. 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 ![1 bedroom, hypo-allergenic bedding, in-room safe, desk](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 1,801 reviews £129 includes taxes & fees 28 Sept - 29 Sept [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-28&endDate=2025-09-29&selected=10867&PinnedHotelID=10867&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94940000/94939000/94938989/485d76fc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private top floor at 2067 Park Road, Nw Dc.
