Private Retreat. Apartmnt in DC- 3 miles to the White House. Pets are welcome!
Private English Basement apartment in the scenic, quiet, safe, and upscale neighborhood of Rock Creek Park- one of the Best Kept Secrets in DC--just a few miles from the White House. A perfect retreat for a single person or a couple, with (or without) children, pets, and cars.
This very private apartment has a bedroom with queen-size bed, a kitchen/living room combo with a sleeper sofa, and full-size appliances. The apartment has a private entrance and a private patio. A semi-private big entertainment/game room with a pool table, a fireplace, foosball, and a 70" screen TV lounge area is adjacent to your apartment and can be used for your personal relaxation or social gatherings.
The value that stands out and makes the difference. -- free 24-hour parking -- free laundry -- free pets' stay in the fenced-off spacious yard. -- free SmartTrip public transportation 2 cards (metro and bus)
Ideal for a person or a couple with/ without children, pets and cars, who value their privacy and security, and it is just perfect for a romantic couple desiring a romantic retreat in the heart of the nation's capital.
The kitchen has everything -- from full-sized refrigerator, oven, and microwave to a Keurig and regular coffee makers, toaster, electric teapot, iron, and ironing board-- just about anything to make your stay carefree. Use of shared laundry room is free of charge.
PETS of all sizes are welcome to stay at NO extra charge. The place is a real paradise for pets as it is surrounded by a tall fence and pets can play outside in the back yard without a leash. The wooded park area with many hiking trails overlooking the creek is great for long walks. A neighborhood dog's park is within walking distance from the house.
Guests driving cars are welcome! 24/7 free public street parking and possibly a driveway parking are available.
TRANSPORTATION. The house is located between 16th Street and Beach Drive. 16th Street is a straight line to the White House and most of Washington's business and tourist attractions. There are at least 3 buses running one after another along the 16th street. Bus stop is within a 7 min walk from the house. Columbia Heights metro stop is several bus stops away. The central location of the house and its close proximity to downtown makes Uber one of the most economical ways of transportation. In rush hour an Uber ride may cost less than a Metro ride.

Stay in DC
This property was one of the best places we have stayed in terms of location, amenities, and quality of the host! There was never a hiccup in the process, and everything was smooth from start to finish. The location was clean, quiet, and in a great location for getting around. I would definitely recommend to others!

The apartment is very cute and cozy, though it is a bit smaller than I expected. However, the game room more than makes up for the size. It could use some cleaning, but overall, the location is fantastic, featuring beautiful architecture and plenty of greenery. The hostess is very friendly and provided helpful information on navigating the city using public transportation.

Great get away
Natasha was amazing. The property was great. Just outside the city in a beautiful park-like neighborhood. Perfect for us and our dog, who enjoyed the yard and our walks to Rick Creek Park. We were close enough to downtown DC to enjoy all the sights and return to a quiet suburban residence and enjoy quiet peaceful nights. Natasha was a fantastic host and made sure our stay was all we had hoped for.

Evening fun
We loved our stay here. It was convenient to sight see in DC. Natasha was helpful in sharing with us how to access the metro since we are not from that area. My son absolutely loved being able to play pool in the evenings when we returned. So would love to stay here again the next time we return to DC.

Quiet neighborhood, clean & safe accommodations!
We stayed here for my son’s graduation from American University. We needed dog-friendly accommodations in case our usual dog-sitting arrangement didn’t work out (in the end, our dog ended up staying home). Natasha’s place was in a quiet, safe neighborhood and the accommodations were clean and well-supplied with lots of conveniences to make it feel like home. The property is accurately described in the listing. A great value for accommodations in the District, especially since there is room to park your car. (Hotels charge $$$ for parking!!!) Highly recommend.

Thanksgiving Visit with Daughter
Small downstairs property 1 bedroom, 1 bath, and full kitchen stocked with many extras. Property allowed dogs, and the fenced in backyard worked very well for exercising the dog as well as the park with walking trails that was close. We had access to the game room with large living room area and pool table as well as 2nd bathroom. We were in DC to spend Thanksgiving with our daughter who lives in Georgetown, so this property was quite close to where she lives and works. Natasha was very helpful with details about the property, answered my many questions, and did everything she could to make our stay very enjoyable. We enjoyed our stay, and will stop again when we are visiting our daughter.

Dog Friendly and Quiet
This was convenient for us because we were visiting someone who lives in Columbia Heights. The apartment was well furnished and clean. Being able to bring our dog was a huge plus. The host is friendly and easily reached. A good choice if you have a car and want a quieter place (and especially if you have a dog).

Graduation getaway
Natasha was a warm, welcoming host to me, my wife, 8 year old son, and our 3 dogs! We were all very comfortable, and the dogs loved the fenced in yard. We were a short drive from Georgetown, the White House, the zoo, and other DC attractions. We would come back again!

Welcoming to us and our dog
The owners are fantastic hosts. They made us feel so welcome with our elderly lab mix. He was equally comfortable with the stay. The location is in a beautiful neighborhood close to the Rock Creek park. While we brought our dog with us for most outings, we were also able to let him stay comfortably behind when best for him. There are many thoughtful details that the hosts have added to the apartment. We would definitely return!

A wonderful vacation in Washington DC
I will recommend this apartment to anyone. It's very close to the Smithsonian museums and it's pet friendly. The neighbourhood is very quiet and safe. And if you love nature, this is the place. And if you are not planning to hit the road, there is a very nice entertainment room where you can play pool. Natasha, it was very nice meeting you and a big hug to Cocos (hosts Welsh terrier).

Property needs work
The host was very gracious letting us change dates. Very pleasant to deal with personally.
BUT
1. Shared driveway /gravel parking description was erroneous. Really meant Parking on street. With a 75 feet walk up a hill driveway to get to more steps.
2. Climb continued up several steps up a sidewalk that was not lit at night. Better have a flashlight.
3. Was redirected through backyard. Backyard walk is 12 inch pavers pathway in very slippery mud. Up and down a hill. Again no lights at night. Path was overgrown with trees and ivy that kept slapping us in the face.
4. Entrance at bottom of steps with no rail. Wall covered in ivy so you can’t steady yourself in fear of animals in ivy (snakes?).
5. Musty/musky smell in apt. Although it appeared clean, no sign of bugs. But BR had some mildew.
6. Plumbing issue upon arrival. Asked us to place toilet paper in trash instead of toilet. I did not, flushed waste first, then toilet paper, worked fine. Said previous guest flushed paper towels.
After 12 years of VRBO my first negative review.
Process was great. Facility needs work.

Great little apartment
From the moment my spouse and I arrived, we felt welcome. We got to D.C. with our dog and were immediately welcomed to the home by Ms. Spivack. She showed us the layout of the living area, bedroom, and the shared TV/pool room that added bonus to our small private space. There is a fenced backyard that our dog shared with her Welsh terrier, who eventually made friends with our dog (our dog can be aloof with other dogs!). The living room sofa converts to a guest bed, which is good for people bringing additional guests. The kitchen was perfect for snacks and making cereal in the morning. We parked in front of the house on the street and had no problem with traffic. This house is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood not far from the DC Zoo and a large park nearby. We walked our dog around the neighborhood and found it to be peaceful and soothing. If you find you need doggie bags to pick up after your pup, there are bags in the fenced backyard of the house. Overall, this was a great place to stay on our trip to DC and we highly recommend it to others!
