About this apartment rental

Welcome to our spacious, private 1-bedroom/1-bathroom English basement apartment, located in DC's historic Bloomingdale neighborhood. The space has everything you need for a weekend trip or extended stay, and all the fun and excitement of the Bloomingdale, Howard University, and U Street neighborhoods that are just outside your door. Are you looking to explore a little further? Downtown, The Mall & Memorials, and all the Smithsonian Museums are just a bus ride or a short walk and a metro ride away. It is the perfect base for an individual, couple, or a small family exploring our Nation's Capital!

Guests will have exclusive access to the apartment with a private entrance. The unit features a single bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a large closet for storing your luggage. Additionally, a large couch in the living room can be converted into a queen bed, or an air mattress is available upon request. The space is ideal for two people but can comfortably accommodate up to four. Do you have a little one? A pack 'n play or toddler cot can be provided upon request.

The kitchenette features a full-sized refrigerator with filtered water and ice, a dishwasher, a convection microwave oven, a toaster, a hot plate with pots and pans, a coffee maker, and a table for enjoying meals. The full bathroom is modern with a hairdryer and toiletries to get you started. The apartment also features a new, in-unit washer and dryer.

Smart TVs are located in both the living room and bedroom, allowing you to sign in to your favorite apps.

A small desk and chair are located in the main living area, should you need to work during your stay.

This space is a private English basement apartment within a 1906 rowhouse. Please note that our family, which includes a young child, resides in the space above the rental. We make every effort to ensure quiet hours on the floor above your rented space; however, you may still hear footsteps. There is also a white noise machine in the bedroom, should you need it.

Ample parking is available on the street with a permit that we will provide. The Shaw metro is .7 miles from the house. So about a 15-20 minutes walk.

Apartment is professionally cleaned between each booking.

**Please note that intermittent construction is taking place next door to the property. I've asked the contractors not to begin work until after 9am and they are alowed by city regs to work until 7pm.

This was a well appointed English basement unit with tall ceilings and a comfortable bed! This was a great location for our needs (Howard University) with ample street parking & a corner store a few hundred feet away. Rebecca was so friendly and responsive! We would definitely stay here again!

Rebecca provided a parking permit and we had no issues with parking. We were impressed with the cleanliness and quality of the amenities. Rebecca had great communication through our stay.

Our 8-night stay at this property was excellent from start to finish. The location felt safe and convenient, and parking was always easy to find. Inside, the home was well-equipped with everything we needed—and more—which is exactly what you hope for in a quality rental.What truly set this experience apart, though, was the exceptional hospitality of the owner. Rebecca went above and beyond with her kindness, responsiveness, and genuine care, making our stay especially memorable. She was incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive, and her thoughtful touches throughout the stay did not go unnoticed. It’s clear she truly takes pride in creating a welcoming and comfortable experience for her guests.I wouldn’t hesitate to return—this is a place I’d book again in a heartbeat.

We really enjoyed staying at the Bloomingdale retreat! Great communication and easy check-in. All the amenities you need to feel at home are available. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen and bath - and the bed was comfy too. Lots of pillows were a plus! Nicely appointed and not a far walk to some restaurants. We really appreciated the parking pass - we parked right in front of the unit for our stay. Thanks again!
