About this property

Big and Comfy in Forest Hills\Cleveland Park by the Metro & Zoo! King Size Bed!

  • 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!

Weekend visit

We enjoyed our visit to the DC area while we moved our son into college. Location was great! Quick walk to the metro and easy access to so many restaurants and sites of interest. Our hosts were communicative and very accommodating! Lovely place and will stay again.

Great location. I would suggest some sort of night light in the kitchen and the living room as you have to walk through each room to get to light switch.

Great space with comfortable leather sofa. The outdoor patio looked like it had great potential once it was set up. A grocery store close to the Metro station was very convenient.

Perfect Stay to Explore DC

We had a great stay. It was the perfect size for my family of 4. Each kid got their own bed and loved sharing the bedroom. It was close to the metro. We embraced public transportation daily. Easy checkin and out. Would definitely stay again if we visit DC.

Perfect for family of four.

The apartment was just as advertised in pictures and description. I reached out to the owner several times with various questions and always got a quick response. Check in was easy. Location was great for parking the car and using public transportation. We would consider staying again if we are in the area!

Comfortable, easy access to Metro, good value.

Great value for the money. It is a basement unit so there are a few stairs ( five or six?) to navigate from the gate at the side of the house to access the door to the unit. The unit has windows but not as light as if it were a first or second floor unit. The backyard sitting area in the spring and summer is a great feature though the weather did not permit us to take advantage of it on our stay. The metro is an easy couple of blocks walk away. The unit also has everything you'll need. The separation between the two bedrooms is very good. There is a grocery store within easy walking distance, so stocking the fridge, if you do not have a car, is not difficult. If you value your money and want to save more of it to spend enjoying the sights around D.C., you will find this a comfortable place to stay while you visit.

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!
