About this apartment rental

Great location—this hidden gem in the center of Northwest Washington, D.C. is ten minutes by taxi from Ronald Reagan National Airport and five minutes from Union Station. Situated several blocks from the D.C. Convention Center, you can walk to Metro (subway station—yellow, green and silver lines), the White House, the Smithsonian museums on the National Mall, Logan Circle and a legion of world class restaurants. You can also walk to Chinatown, City Center, Downtown, Penn Quarter, Whole Foods and 14th Street nightlife. Explore, rest, rejuvenate, relax!

Originally the kitchen of a large Victorian home built in the 1860s, this elegant, unique English basement apartment has seen a lot of history here in the Nation's Capital, and its current incarnation is versatile, sleek and compact with sunny front windows that receive lots of morning light.

The unit is equipped with cable, WiFi, a 43" smart TV, a Bose stereo and a full-size washer/dryer. A peaceful, private, walled garden with three water features in the rear and a small gas-powered wood stove in the living room further enhance the unit's unique charm. A four-top table converts to seat six, and four extra folding chairs are stored in the coat closet. In addition to the queen-size bed in the bedroom, the sofa converts to a full size bed that sleeps two.

If you prefer to dine at home, you have everything you need to cook and serve a seated dinner for six. In the kitchen you’ll find coffee, tea, creamer, sugar, spices, oil and vinegar. Dish and laundry soap are provided, as are shampoo, conditioner, soap, a blow-dryer and clean towels. Bed linens are provided. Inquire about additional maid service if you need it. There’s a grocery store, a convenience store, and a liquor store within a block, and up 14th Street there’s a Whole Foods and a Trader Joe's.

There is street parking only, and on request a residential parking permit is provided at no charge. The permit’s allows parking in the restricted areas around the home. You will need to provide your vehicle's plate number, state, make and color in advance of your arrival when requesting the pass.

There is a Capital Bikeshare across the street and scooter, Smart Car and Segway rental locations nearby.

The owner, Tom, lives on site and is available to provide help and answer additional questions during your stay. Welcome!

In addition to being in a great location, Tom's apartment has everything you could need! And I'm not just talking about the kitchen (gadgets and spices galore, even coffee!), he had enough laundry supplies, reusable shopping bags, miscellaneous bathroom supplies....literally everything we needed for a perfect stay! There is a market just a couple blocks away for food or other needs, but I felt like we could have stayed a month at Tom's place. Our communication was very easy, he quickly answered all my questions. Check in and out was easy. We used public transit so didn't need to worry about parking a car. Our kids slept in the bedroom and my husband and I used the living room couch/bed, which was comfortable for a couch/bed. The well-stocked kitchen made it possible for us to eat breakfast and dinner at home most days. We had a great time, thanks Tom!

We had a really lovely stay at Tom's apartment. The unit was very clean, and Tom provided so many generous amenities for us to use during our stay, including a parking permit (upon request) which was a lifesaver! I really enjoyed the binder full of recommendations that Tom left for guests. This was the holy grail for us, I used his recommendations for finding good places to get coffee, dinner, activities, you name it! Tom maintained great communication prior to, during, and after out stay. Overall, we had a wonderful stay, and I look forward to staying at Tom's again soon!

We had an awesome stay at Tom's place in Logan Circle. The apartment is very well appointed and suit our family of four really well. Main bed is really comfortable ... and living room sofa bed is very comfortable as well. It is a cozy space but perfect for all four of us as a home base to check out all of the nearby sites. Quiet with Great restaurants nearby. Thorough binder provided with lots of recommendations ... all that we visited were fabulous. Tom was a great/responsive host. We truly enjoyed our stay with our teenagers! Thanks!

We had a wonderful first stay in DC! The apartment was well stocked and had everything we needed. Tom was accommodating and provided us with a parking permit for the duration of our stay. Would stay here again.

Tom was extremely helpful with communications. The bathroom and galley kitchen were clean and well stocked. The massive problem we had was that the moment we opened the door the horrendous smell of mould hit us and was worrying as my wife is an asthmatic. The back open area was a complete disappointment and did not reflect what was promised online. Thankfully we only had to stay three nights. I am not commenting on the number of flies and mosquitoes so we were unable to have any fresh air as we kept the doors closed.

This is a perfectly appointed one-bedroom apartment in a cool neighborhood well within a mile or so of most things you’d want to see. Great walk ability to all kinds of monuments, galleries, restaurants and bars. My husband and I celebrated our 40th with sightseeing and great meals. Host Tom was super responsive. We will be back!
