Beautiful, quiet space in Eckington! Fully furnished basement unit with good light and a big back yard. Very private with separate key-less entrance. Kitchenette, Washer/Dryer, Free Parking in gated yard. Close to two metro stops (red line), bus lines, and Capital Bikeshare. Short walk to Union Market or the heart of Bloomingdale. This basement apartment, with a separate bedroom is perfect for a family or friends visiting the city. There is a double/full bed in the bedroom for two. The futon in the living room could possibly fit two extra guests (ideally for two kids or one adult), making this space especially cost effective. Small kitchenette (with pots, cooking/serving utensils) for quick and easy meals. Coffee and tea are always fully stocked. There's a washer and dryer in the unit, which you are welcome to use. The space is compact yet super cozy. It feels like your home away from home and has all you need! The entire unit is all yours. The only restrictions are the power panel and the two closets behind the couch and TV stand. Guests also have access to the big backyard with outdoor furniture and gated parking. Key code will be provided prior to arrival for self check-in. We'll be available by text or email during your stay. We live upstairs, but you likely won't see or hear us. We share the backyard with our guests and you may see our dog out there occasionally. He's very friendly and loves pets. Please do ensure the door and gate in the yard are closed at all times. Our neighborhood is cute and quiet close to the center of DC. We are just a short trip away from downtown, U Street, 14th Street, Union Market, Shaw and the H Street Corridor. Several small restaurants and coffee shops are within walking distance. Noma-Gallaudet University and Rhode Island-Brookland Metro stops (red line) are both about half a mile away. The red line offers access to the heart of DC including Union Station, Metro Center, and DuPont circle. Capital Bikeshare is just two blocks away. Take the G8 Bus on Rhode Island avenue straight into the heart of downtown. We are about 1.5 miles from Union Station for Amtrak, regional trains, and busses. 15 min car ride from Reagan Airport. Our location is also right off the MBT (Metropolitan Branch Trail), a great bike trail and running spot to get around the city. We are pet friendly. Up to two dogs (under 50 pounds). Sorry no cats as our dog doesn’t get along with them!

This was a good little spot for a last minute trip to DC with a short metro ride to the downtown area. The host was very responsive and the secured parking in the back was a huge plus.

Great stay! The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The parking was a huge relief since I travel with an SUV and motorcycle trailer. As a local, I think this is one of the best areas to stay. You’re in Eckington, just a 5–10 minute walk to Alethia Tanner Park for running, biking, skating, picnics, and the dog park. You’re also close to Union Market, Trader Joe’s, great cafés, restaurants, nightlife, and the Metro. My husky unfortunately had cluster seizures during our stay, and Jeffrey responded right away and was kind enough to turn the A/C down to help keep her comfortable. That meant a lot during a stressful time. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We stayed at his place for a week. The apartment was as advertised. They really provided everything possible in the apartment. The kitchen and the parking was a plus considering it is DC. One thing should be mentioned, the temperature is centrally controlled by the host. But they are considerate enough to change it as per our comfort. Overall, great stay!

June 2026

We stayed here during what had to be one of the busiest weeks in DC—Fourth of July, with a heat wave advisory, and crowds everywhere—this Airbnb ended up being the perfect retreat. The apartment stayed wonderfully cool the entire time, which was an absolute lifesaver after 105 °F summer heat. The hosts truly thought of everything for us and the dogs! Every amenity we needed, was already there, even bug spray for the occasional mosquitoes and flies that found their way inside after coming and going. Traveling with dogs can sometimes be challenging, but the private, gated patio and parking area made all the difference. It them a safe place to play and stretch their legs between outings. The patio was such a hidden gem, with a beautiful Persimmon fruit tree, veggie and herb garden, hydrangeas, a wood-fired oven and ambient lighting for an amazing evening gathering. We'd absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting DC—especially if you're traveling with pets!
