About this house rental

If you are looking for an authentic experience do consider staying at my home during your stay in DC. I am located on a tree-lined block in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in NW. It's a neighborhood of only about 12 square blocks with many hidden treasures: unassuming dive bars, surprise parks and award-winning restaurants. Bloomingdale is sandwhiched between the neighborhoods of Shaw and Eckington. It is on the border of the District’s northwest quadrant, stretching from Second Street NW to North Capitol, bordered by Florida Avenue NW to the south and Bryant and Channing places NW to the north.

Bloomingdale Beauty is a spacious Victorian home with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. It can hold comfortably 13 guests. However, there are only 10 beds. Air beds and tatamis are available for additional persons beyond 10. I offer my home as a clean, cheap, and safe place to sleep and recharge in the Nation's Capital. It's humble and doable for a few nights. There's a kitchen per your use. However, should you need to really cook, you will have to bring your essentials.

The home has a dining room with a very large wood table, a living room to lounge with guests; an iron with an ironing board; hangers; and etc. PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the upper unit of the home. There is a basement unit as well. Each unit is completely private and secure. There may be guests in the basement unit during your stay. There is a security system with cameras on the outside's front entry and back exit of home.

We had a group of adults attending a convention in Washington DC. The property was perfect for what we needed. The only thing that would help would be more chairs for the table. It was HOT and HUMID while we were there as well. I know there were only window air conditioners….so maybe some oscillating fans would have been beneficial as well. Dr. Koura did stop by and this woman was amazing. So kind….so understanding. Thank you Dr. Koura for allowing to stay at your house. It was an honor.

I had about nine people stay in this house and it worked absolutely amazingly! The neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors were sweet whenever they saw us. The were a few dead bugs in the showers when we first got there but overall was clean and beautiful. Would stay again!

The pictures and description of the property paint a beautiful place. Absolutely not. From the moment we walked in there was a noticeable musky smell. I took pictures of the buildup of dirt in the air vents, the oven I was afraid to cut on from the grease buildup in it, the bathrooms were the worst with broken tiles on the floors, loose sinks not mounted properly and mildew on the sinks and showers. My wife and I both ended up with sinus infections by the next morning after sleeping there. The place is in need of some serious repairs and cleaning

This place is as stated and as pictured in the write-up. It really shines for those who need a lot of beds to accommodate a bigger group. If you want something fancy, you will easily pay double what this is. Since we were doing a lot of sight-seeing, we were only there to sleep and take showers, and this place is perfect for that situation. This place has a lot of basic twin beds and the showers are older, but absolutely perfectly fine. There were window AC units in each room that worked great and the temp was good. The downstairs is as seen in the pics and is quite cool…almost like an art gallery. The neighborhood was very residential and quiet, not like the bustling city you’ll pass through to get there. I also easily found parking outside the place, but don't know if that’s always the case. I never ordered the parking pass from the owner or anything like that. We did not get a ticket or towed away. The area feels safe, but is very urban….don’t expect the suburbs or the country. Went to DC w our kids and an exchange student who is stating w us from France. We went to The National Mall, The White House, and The Monuments. I wouldn’t say they’re close by this residence, but we drove over there and, on a late Sat afternoon, found parking.

First of all, Dr. Koura was an excellent host! We needed help with directions to her home from the train station, I called Dr. Koura and without hesitation she gave us the directions to her home! Upon arriving to her home, it was just as described! The outside was beautiful! We felt very safe in her home! Very quiet neighborhood. We had no issues at all! The decor in the home was beautiful. The home was very clean. There were clean linens on the beds. There was soap and towels in every bathroom. The kitchen was immaculate and there was enough space for everyone! Dr. Koura was very accessible! The whole time she stayed in contact with us to make sure that everything was going well. The location of the home was close to everything that we had planned on visiting! We were able to Instacart groceries and took advantage of cooking in her beautiful kitchen! There were enough dishes, pots, and pans to do everything that we wanted! We are so thankful that we found this beautiful home to stay in during our trip in Washington! Hopefully, when we visit Washington again this home will be available! Thank you, Dr. Koura for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! God bless!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The teens had their own space. The hostess was so gracious and helpful. Some excellent eateries in walking distance. Uber rides were available quickly. The home is so charming.

Good size, very decent place. Not very well equipped (but also advertised honestly….we’re just not used to traveling with a toaster, wine bottle opener, food wrap, etc).
