The space
The apartment is a spacious one bedroom English basement located just a few blocks away from two metro stations (Shaw/Howard & Mt Vernon Sq. Convention Center), Capital Bikeshare (CaBi), and Metro bus lines, you’ll be hard-pressed to find yourself with little to do.

The space was completely renovated in 2014 and is one of four floors in our home. Though entirely separated from our other three floors; the floor immediately above the apartment is accessed by our family at any time on any given day. This means that audible sounds may exist (walking, talking, and normal sounds within a home with three young children). The family usually rises around 7 AM and retires to the second and third floor around 8 PM. Please be aware of these facts, especially if you tend to sleep-in or are noise sensitive. Ear plugs are available in the bed-side dresser for our guests as well as a white noise machine.
