Welcome to a light-filled, renovated one-bedroom English basement just 2 blocks from the heart of H Street NE — one of DC’s best neighborhoods for food, nightlife, and everyday city living.
Unlike most basement apartments, this one doesn’t feel like one. Nearly 8-foot ceilings and full-size windows and doors bring in real natural light throughout the day, making the space feel open, airy, and genuinely comfortable.
Private by design. The apartment has its own dedicated front and rear entrances, completely separate from the unit above. No shared hallways, no shared spaces — just your own private retreat in the middle of the city. Keyless entry means you’re never fumbling for keys or worried about losing them.
Your kitchen, your linens, your home. The apartment is fully stocked with kitchen essentials, bathroom amenities, and all linens — towels, washcloths, sheets, and blankets included.
The neighborhood is half the experience. H Street is 2 blocks away, lined with acclaimed restaurants, and lively bars. Union Market and La Cosecha — two of DC’s favorite food and outdoor hangout destinations — are a short walk away. And there 7 grocery stores within a mile if you’d rather cook!
Getting around is effortless:
• NoMa-Gallaudet Red Line Metro — 12-15 min walk
• City bus stop at the corner
• Capital Bikeshare station 1 block away
• Electric scooters available throughout the neighborhood
• Free street parking right out front
• ️ The Capitol Building is a scenic 1-mile stroll down Maryland Ave NE
A note on the neighborhood: This is real, living DC — diverse in culture, background, and nationality. I’ve called this block home for over 10 years and love it for exactly that reason. Guests who share that appreciation will feel right at home here. A few nearby H Street NE (2 blocks) recommendations:
• Maketto — Pan-Asian street food in one of DC’s coolest indoor/outdoor spaces; great for a casual lunch or dinner
• Toki Underground — DC’s most beloved ramen spot; expect a wait on weekends, but worth every minute
• Granville Moore’s — Cozy Belgian beer hall with excellent mussels and an impressive draft list
• Tapori — Lively Indian street food and tropical cocktails from the team behind Daru; think Mumbai markets meets Bollywood energy with dishes like dosa, momos, and inventive “Indian-ish” drinks
• Sushi Sato — Chef Tim Ma’s all-you-can-eat sushi spot with creative rolls, izakaya dishes, and Japanese-inspired cocktails; a fun night out right on H St
• Henceforth — A polished three-level brewery and wine bar in the former H Street Country Club space; housemade craft beers, natural wines, elevated bar food, and a rooftop patio
• Daru (just off H St on Maryland Ave NE) -- One of DC’s most celebrated restaurants — James Beard-nominated chef Suresh Sundas serves bold, creative “Indian-ish” cuisine like black daal with burrata and blue cheese chicken kebabs, alongside inventive cocktails. Named one of America’s best new restaurants by the New York Times.
Union Market & La Cosecha (~13 min walk)
• Union Market — DC’s premier indoor food hall; perfect for weekend brunch or an afternoon browse
• La Cosecha — Latin American market and food hall with a beautiful outdoor courtyard; great drinks and a festive vibe
Parks & Outdoor Spots
• Langston Golf Course & RFK Trail — Riverside trail along the Anacostia; great for a morning run or a scenic walk
• National Mall — A short ride away; open green space, monuments, and world-class free museums
• H Street itself — Sidewalk dining and street life at its best, especially on weekend evenings

    Luxurious Rental that is hard to beat at its price. Multiple Grocery stores around the area 1mi away, Rental had everything needed for a vacation getaway. Would purchase again for sure.

    A fine garden-level apartment. As with nearly all apartment units/properties that exist for the express purpose of vacation rental, there are little things that a permanent resident would add or upgrade, but for a few nights visiting DC, this place was great.

    Fantastic 1br apt with pull-out sofa for extra sleeping. Area was quiet. I would highly recommend this place. The only downside would be the stores and restaurants are a moderate walk. They are very nice however.

    This place was AMAZING! It was cute and cozy and everything we needed for our DC stay. We walked down to the nearby Bodega several times for groceries and everyone was so nice. It was great to be submerged into DC culture. This is a very vibrant, active neighborhood that is slowly being renovated and updated. There are old buildings mixed in with new but I think that is part of the charm. The apartment is quiet and has every amenity you could hope for. The renovations were done thoughtfully. The shower was great - lots of hot water and water pressure. The sofa was very comfortable to sit and sleep. My kids slept there and loved it. The mattress in the bedroom is WONDERFUL! My husband and I slept so comfortably. We wanted to bring it home with us. Transportation to and from this apartment was a breeze. I also want to add that the host was also amazing and accommodating for our family. She was informative about parking and extremely nice. I would HIGHLY recommend you stay here. It was fantastic and made or DC trip all the better.

    The apartment was clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive when I had a question. Parking outside was plentiful. Bonus: there’s a park just around the block, which my kids loved. Brand new washer and dryer. Pull out sofa is just a fold down futon. Not terribly uncomfortable, but not a sofa bed. Overall, a great place to stay.

    We enjoyed a full month stay in this modern and equiped flat. The owner was a great communicator, friendly, helpful and personable. We had a pleasant, safe and comfortable stay. Super close to Gallaudet Univ and Union Market.

    Cozy, charming place with easy access to city (only 3 blocks from streetcar) and shopping & restaurants nearby on H Street. Much more comfortable than hotel, with full kitchen and separate bedroom. (We brought twin air mattress so all could sleep in bedroom, with kiddo on an earlier bedtime, and not convert couch.) Would stay again!

    We enjoyed our stay in this basement apartment. It felt cozy and spacious at the same time, had everything we needed, comfortable beds, a nice kitchen, and the best hot shower ever.

    Property was clean and updated. Host responded in timely manner. However, I was extremely disappointed in the location. It was convenient to bus and streetcar transportation, but required walking through the less than desirable neighborhood. The area did not feel safe especially when walking. Might be better for those with a car. The property is VERY noisy when someone is in the unit above. A second set of towels would have been nice for our 6 day stay. Mosquitoes and gnats were also an issue in the unit.

    Small place that was perfect for two adults and a ten year old. We really don’t require much, especially for a single night, but the place was just as described.

    The property was as listed. Everything was new/modern. Shower was heaven. Parking was very easy around the block. Getting to the capital district was easy and I was surprised how cheap garage parking was downtown. We saw so many sights. Wholefoods was our go to for food.
