Large open kitchen/living/dining room, + 1 bedroom/bath. Comfy bed + memory foam sofa bed in the living room. Crisp white sheets, down comforters/pillows, washer-dryer, 2 TVs, cable, extra-fast wifi. Modern furnishings, new appliances, uncluttered and super clean. Located in central DC in the hot Shaw neighborhood. Walk to restaurants, nightlife, DC convention center and downtown. Quick access to DC sights, Metro, bus, bikes+ We are located in the little-known neighborhood of Truxton Circle. Located within the happening neighborhood of Shaw in the heart of Washington, DC, you will enjoy quick and easy access to all that the city has to offer. As avid travelers and one-time BnB hosts years ago, we set out to create a space that is comfortable, pleasing to the senses, and equipped with the kinds of things that we ourselves like to enjoy when we travel for work or for pleasure, including quality bedding, private laundry facilities, and furnishing that don't all come from Sweden. (OK, we may have let one piece sneak in!) The 800 sq ft (73 sq m) apartment is an English basement that feels like a home. The apartment has its own private entrance. We live upstairs so you get the kind of extra care found with properties that are owner occupied. Stuff You Will Love: SUPER FAST WIFI: Zip around the internet on ultra high speed internet that works at 70-170 mbps. Great for business travelers, Facetime or S.K.Y.P.E. calls, and streaming Netflix/video. GOOD SLEEPING: Sleep is important, and to help you be as comfortable as possible you’ll enjoy a queen-size bed, or the memory foam sofa bed we acquired from Spain that our houseguests rave about. Plus, crisp white sheets, lightweight and warm down comforters, down pillows and memory foam pillows. TV/CABLE CHOICES: The living room sports a 50” flat screen with cable TV. There is a wall-mounted flat screen TV in the bedroom, as well, fully loaded with cable TV as well. KITCHEN: The kitchen has been planned for efficiency. There is not a full stove, instead you will find an induction stovetop that boils water in 90 seconds, and in elegant, heavy stainless steel pots and pans by Henckel. The microwave is also a convection oven, so you can microwave something from the frozen section -- or bake a cake! There’s a dishwasher and full size refrigerator with ice maker. For hot beverages, choose between a French press, a drip coffee machine with timer, or an electric kettle to make a quick cup of tea. FARMERS’ MARKET: The Bloomingdale Farmer’s Market on Sunday is a block away and features farm fresh veggies and wonderful vendors selling various things. Please note that the fresh pasta and handmade burratta are pretty much life changing. PARKING: There is free parking on our street. No permit is required and there is no time limit (there are restrictions for street cleaning). You can usually find a spot right in front of the house, or within a block. Guest Access: From the street, you will use a private entrance to your apartment. You need to be able to navigate a few steps of stairs to enter and exit. The key is in a lock-box for your convenience. The main lock and key are high-security and cannot be copied, so you can rest assured that there are no random copies of keys floating around. There is an internal staircase that connects the main house to the apartment, but that door is only used as an emergency exit for you. Your privacy is ensured and respected at all times. Other Things to Note CHILDREN -- Please note that the apartment is not well suited for toddlers. Babies are welcome, and children ages 5 and up. The apartment has hard flooring, and an internal staircase that leads to a locked door connecting to the main house. Thank you for understanding. As we live upstairs, we are close to hand if you need anything. You may hear our footsteps overhead, or the sound of the pitter-patter of two playful cats (who are not allowed in the downstairs apartment). We are generally quiet and there are no children above you. The cooling and heating are controlled from the main part of the house for the whole property. We are generous with the heat and the A/C to provide comfort for all. Space heaters and fans are in the apartment for your use if you need extra heat or air movement. This is an English basement. There are two windows on the front, and a window in the bedroom. The front door also has a window, as well as a snazzy retractable screen door if you want to keep the front door open to enjoy more light and fresh air. Given that light in lower-level apartments can be limited, we provide a wide choice of lighting so you can create a comfortable environment. The space feels really nice to be in, as you will see. The HVAC is located in a closet in the apartment. Like all HVACs, the running motor makes sound. We mention this for those who are very sensitive to sound.

The Metro subway was very convenient with a quick walk to the station. It made negotiating the city manageable. ##### Lynnet T.

Spacious for me as a single traveler and would do well for larger groups as well. The entire apartment was spotless and the furniture and bedding were very comfortable. As a business traveler on a longer stay, the ability to have access to a washer and dryer was great. Neighborhood is lively and there are lots of good restaurants and shops around. A bit of a walk to the Metro, but I found that bike share was a great way to get to downtown and back. Overall a great stay, would definitely come back. ##### Kendra B.

We really appreciated that Kenneth took care of us when the neighborhood came under a coastal flooding warning. Host: very nice, communication was great, very accommodating. Apartment: as advertised. It had everything we needed. Location: very good. A number of nice places to eat within a short walk. Not really walkable to the monuments area, but it's a fairly easy walk to the Shaw metro station and there are several bus stations in the immediate vicinity. ##### Timothy H.

Unfortunately the furniture was very uncomfortable. The couch was similar to a futon and very uncomfortable to sit on. The bed was also uncomfortable. The mattress was too soft and with you couldn’t sit up because of the headboard. Place was clean, but very hot. Had a couple of fans but with a small window in bedroom, and small window in kitchen, still difficult to get fresh air in without opening front door. Couldn’t leave open all night without locking yourself in. Front door has a steel bar outside door, then the apartment door. You can only lock this steel security door by key, making it a safety hazard if need to exit in a hurry. It was practical for our purposes. ##### Walter B.

The conference hotels are overpriced in DC and it gave me a chance to get away from the conference scene when I wanted to. My husband stayed a few days and it was the perfect size for both of us. We had been traveling so it was nice to do some laundry as well. I walked to the convention center a few times but Uber/Lyft came within three minutes. I also used a Zipcar service (rent by the hour) a few times too. Clear directions for everything and great communication with the host. They live above this English basement apartment in a Row style house. Very charming! It was a great place to stay and now I have a good portion of my travel budget for the next trip. ##### Stacey S.

It was comfortable, clean and offers a nicely equipped kitchen with Washer/Dryer, LR, 1-BR and Bath. Parking at the location was easy, free and once we parked we never used the car until we left. The unit is one-half mile walking distance from the Shaw-Howard Metro station; about a 12-15 minute level walk. The metro is a very inexpensive and easy way to get around the city for those that have no problem walking from stations to destinations. Tip: always carry an umbrella or poncho for those unexpected, summer rain showers when you exit the Metro. We used the owner's recommendations for a few restaurants (listed in the guest book) and they did not disappoint. There is so much to do in DC, and most of it is free, that we intend to spend many more long weekends exploring. ##### Sandra S.

Very clean, comfy and I slept very well. Kenneth was so nice and he even offered us a ride to destination, that we were all headed to. The house is on a quiet and safe street. We drove up from Florida and had no issues finding a spot to park. Just had to move sides on both street cleaning days. The 2 bus stops are right around the corner. Use caution if the one bus drops you off on 7th, while you have to walk a block to the Metro, that block is a little sketchy. Just a tip - make sure you secure all your museum timed entry tickets in advance. Including the White House, which does a back ground check and takes time to clear. We would definitely stay here again. We highly recommend! ##### Ingrid O.

Our stay here was wonderful! Exceptionally clean space without clutter. Our host was super quick with responses when we reached out. Even sent a text to make sure we were comfortable. Couldn’t ask for better communication or care and concern. The bottle of sparkling water and wine were most appreciative touches. Even though it’s a lower level apartment there is plenty of lighting. And very quiet. Would love to stay here again! We enjoyed dining at Gypsy kitchen, I’d suggest you check out their website and menu for an interesting dining experience. We ordered many dishes and shared family style. Also if you like to sleuth check out the O Museum, lots of history there as you search for hidden doors. Thanks again to our gracious hosts. You provided a nice home away from home!! ##### Karen Y.

We are two adults and two teenage girls. With our suitcases things were definitely a bit tight, but we managed to tuck things away well enough that we were always comfortable. The apartment does have a closet in the bedroom and a dresser with cubbies. There's not a whole lot in the vicinity of the apartment, but it's an easy 8 minute walk up R Street to the Shaw-Howard metro (green line). We spent the vast majority of our time out and about, mostly only in the apartment for a bit in the mornings and late in the evenings. With four people showering, we never ran out of hot water and the water pressure was good, which is always nice. The temperature was comfortable at all times even though the temperature outside varied a lot during our visit. We never did any cooking in the apartment but it was nice to have a coffee maker and a hot water kettle in the mornings, and a refrigerator for our leftovers. The apartment overall is very well appointed and stocked with thoughtful things like teabags, sugar, soaps, detergent, etc. The towels and linens were also very nice quality, which one does not always find! Lastly, the hosts very kindly allowed us to check in early on our first day, and then to leave our suitcases in the apartment on our last day since we had a late flight. Both were very much appreciated. Thanks Kenneth! ##### Jennifer C.
