About this property

Entire place

Home base for your DC adventures - near fun, great food, and public transport.

Access the best of DC’s sights with a short walk to the Petworth Metro, the 14th street bus, or hop on a scooter or e-bike stationed on our block. When you return home, go back in time with our “Class of 1981” Galaga/Ms Pacman arcade game and a little table tennis, or fast forward with Gig speed internet. A five-minute walk takes you to Rue Café for coffee, Safeway or Yes! for groceries, or Rock Creek Park...the Smithsonian National Zoo is a short bike ride away. For dinner choose from neighborhood Mexican, Vietnamese, Salvadoran, Laotian, Japanese, Malaysian, BBQ or “fancy” southern fried chicken. This spacious and clean lower-level apartment in a house has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, full size washer/dryer, a full kitchen and private entrance accessible with a code.

Great Place!
This was a great spot for my two teens and me when visiting DC Area. We arrived later at night than expected and it was easy to find. Super comfortable and nice to be within a short walk to the Metro station and to a grocery store. Carl was helpful with suggestions for dinner spots. This was a convenient location if you are visiting the area for Smithsonian Museums and other tourist spots. The neighborhood was quiet and overall it was a great experience.

A fabulous stay
Carl was an amazing host from our first contact with him. He offered advice about biking as a family, and really went above and beyond to help make our visit a success. Instructions for arrival and check in were clear. We easily walked to the train and buses, nearby Bikeshare, stores, restaurants, and playgrounds. The apartment is cute and comfortable. The kitchen is well outfitted and we could prepare most of our meals at home. My family loved the arcade game, ping pong table, and books and games. We would love to return when we visit DC again!

Good Short Stay for Me
Everything was as it said in the description. It is in the basement so there are some low ceilings. If you are over 6' tall you may need to duck. It was within a 10 minute walk of the metro green line.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Carl's basement apartment for a combined work trip and vacation to DC. The space was more comfortable than a hotel room, at a lower total cost than most. Carl was very proactive about providing helpful information and checking that everything was OK. Although we didn't take advantage, a pingpong table and video arcade game added to the charm. It was within a reasonable walking distance to restaurants, groceries and a metro station.

Nice little appartment
The appartment has everything you need. The pictures and description are very accurate. Before arriving, Carl was very helpfull in getting a parking permit from the city. He also asked us if we needed anything else during our stay. Even though Carl's family is living upside, it was not disturbing at all. The ping-pong table and the arcade game was very fun to play. Thank you Carl!
