About this apartment rental
Centrally located in the heart of Cleveland Park/Forest Hills, this gorgeous stately Federal Townhouse English basement apartment is located on a SAFE, quiet tree-lined block, just two blocks from the Metro and the Scandinavian Embassy, Levine Music School, Howard Law School and Burke High School. Relax in a private space after a long, lovely day enjoying DC.
This apartment has its own private entrance, a few steps from the walkway. Relax in a cozy space after enjoying site seeing in DC. Come ‘home' to a fully renovated private apartment with separate entrance, a small fully-stocked kitchen with sunny windows, a new bathroom, a 40" Samsung Smart TV and a full size washer/dryer. We have personalized QR codes for WiFi access as well as Property and Neighborhood details. Please note, there is no dishwasher; however, eating utensils are sanitized before you arrive and high-touch areas are cleaned with Clorox disinfectants. The master bedroom has a California King size bed with a super comfortable Casper mattress and the second bedroom has two full size beds (both with Casper mattresses). There is also a pull out sofa - enough space to accommodate 6 people. This apartment is 2 blocks from the local Giant grocery store, CVS and several wonderful ethnic restaurants. You can also walk to the various Embassies or head straight into Rock Creek Park, by Peirce Mill. The property is easily accessible to the UDC/Van Ness Metro Station (2 blocks), bus stops (1 block) and City Bike Share (1 block) and scooters galore. If you have a car, we can secure a parking permit for our block and may be able to offer garaged parking for an additional fee, though check with us first.
Guest access
You will have access to the entire 2 bedroom basement garden apartment, with its own separate entrance. You also have access to the backyard which has a fire pit, turf area and basketball hoops. Very private space. Come and go as you please!
Other things to note
We have three children who would happily entertain yours if you arrive as a family. We are just steps away from several Embassies (Netherlands, Indonesia, Kuwait, Honduras, and others) as well as the Howard University School of Law, and several local independent schools and universities (Sidwell, Burke, American U., Georgetown U, etc) If you have any associates at those locations, you are extremely close!
*bonus: If you need a sitter, our teenage daughter loves to babysit and is often available!

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We had a lovely stay when we came to visit our daughter who is attending American University. The location was perfect--close to the Metro stop, a grocery store, and in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The host sent us great communication to make check-in and check-out easy, and provided tons of great area information. Hope we'll have a chance to stay here again! Would recommend!

The property was clean well equipped and provided a fabulous relaxing environment for us after a long day travelling and while we were sightseeing. The hosts communicated with us prior to our stay and during our stay . The hosts provided lots of information leaflets to help us plan our visit. We all thoroughly enjoyed and would use again
8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Excellent communication and assistance. Nice yard and great location with easy access to public transportation. The home is comfortable and clean. As noted, it is a basement so downside is limited natural light.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Convenient location and great communication with host. Some noise from people/dog walking upstairs but it usually stopped before it got too late. Overall I'd recommend based on location and value.
