Important extras to mention:



NO SMOKING:

No smokers please! If you are a smoker, this is not the good space for you to choose. I have severe sensitivity to smoke. There is absolutely no smoking inside my apartment and there is not a comfortable place to sit and smoke immediately outside either.

SURROUNDING AREA:

Walking distance to great restaurants, King Street, two metro stops (Braddock Road and King Street), Trader Joe's, Harris Teeter, and Water Taxis into National Harbor, Washington Harbor and Georgetown. Quick train or Uber to DCA and Washington DC.

ACCESSIBILITY:

There are six steps down to your front door entrance. Inside there are two steps down into the bedroom.

NOTES ON THE SHARED ROWHOUSE:

Our 1847 townhouse, fully renovated for modern luxury, offers two independent rental units—each with its own private entrance, smart lock for easy self check-in, and exclusive access to premium amenities like spa-inspired bathrooms and plush king beds.

We've crafted this dual-unit gem to deliver an upscale, hassle-free Old Town escape—historic allure meets contemporary comfort, steps from restaurants, waterfront, and DC transit. Host lives next door for peace of mind. Ideal for couples or solo travelers seeking privacy and that rare sense of home.

THERMOSTAT:

Also, please note that temperature control is controlled remotely. We recognize that comfortable is subjective. We do our best to seek just the right temperature. In the cooler months we have electric heaters for those who want it warmer.

CANCELLATION POLICY/TRAVEL INSURANCE:

Even the best laid plans can change, and that includes trips. Given the unpredictability of travel interruptions, such as, weather, family emergencies, sudden illness, natural disaster, etc., we highly recommend our guests purchase travel insurance or review any credit card benefits to protect their vacation investment. Most policies require that purchase be made within 48 hours of booking.  We are unable to make exceptions to our cancellation policy for events outside our control that do not impact the suitability of our dwelling, but happy to provide any documentation to support insurance claims.

    Rebecca thought of big things and little things for amenities and service - even a good selection of books. Location is walking distance of everything needed, including restaurants, retail, groceries and public transit. Bed comfortable and a good shower.

    The townhome provided excellent accommodations. It had all the required amenities, making us feel completely at home. We knew where everything was, and we lacked nothing! Checking in and accessing the home was effortless, and it was conveniently located within walking distance of the charming King Street. Since we frequently visit family in the area, we'll definitely be staying here again.

    If you’re going to Wash DC this is a great find. You’re in a very quiet neighborhood, short 9min walk to the metro (or you can take the bus), few blocks from the river area, few blocks King Street where tons of yummy food is. If you’re driving an EV the charging station is half a block away. Rebecca is a super great host and is there should you need anything. It got a bit chilly and she made sure we had everything to stay warm. The apartment is very well maintained and super clean. She even had most of the major streaming platforms for something before bed. I can’t say enough how great of a find this was :)
