About this property

Historic Treasure | Walk to Metro + Zoo

  • Summary:

    Our stunning 3 bedroom row home is situated on a quiet leafy street walking distance to Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro, DC`s Smithsonian Zoo and Rock Creek Park! The metro connects to the red line and just minutes away from all the major sights, museums, downtown, and all that DC has to offer!



    The Space:

    Perfect base for families, there is a children`s park and playground less than 5 minutes walk away.



    Signs of the owners worldwide travels adorn every room with beautiful artifacts and treasures making the space feel inviting, interesting and a serene escape from the city`s hussle.



    This lovely, bright historic house spans over 2 floors and can comfortably sleep 5 guests as follows;

    ~ Queen sized bed in the master bedroom (complete with en-suite bathroom).

    ~ Queen sized bed in the second bedroom.

    ~ Day bed (single) in the third bedroom.



    The master bedroom is a sprawling space with a sun-filled yoga room overlooking the backyard, its own en suite bathroom and work space as well, perfect for those traveling on business.



    The second bedroom also has a queen-sized bed and huge windows with a bathroom next door, and the third bedroom includes a day bed which converts into a single, perfect for one guest.



    All bedrooms have blinds and curtains for additional privacy, so folks can shut the day away and catch some ZZZ’s!



    The living space opens onto a delightful private deck at the back of the house that in Spring, Summer and Fall is perfect to relax and sip your morning cup of coffee, or evening glass of wine!



    There`s a full kitchen complete with all essentials and amenities, it is the perfect space for whipping up anything from breakfast to a Thanksgiving feast.



    With the plethora of dining options surrounding the area - guests may decide to toss their chef`s hat, and experience the array of award-winning cuisine options lining the area (check out our property guide for a list of our favorites!).



    Guest Access:

    Guests have this entire 3-bedroom rowhome to themselves and will be sent access to unlock the private entrance door prior to check-in.



    The Neighborhood:

    Adam’s Morgan is a hub of activity! No shortage of restaurants and bars down 18th St, and just parallel lies Columbia Rd, for a slower paced night out with can’t miss designer restaurants! 



    Modern trends and styles flow through the historic row homes and streets, creating an atmosphere that can’t be beat!



    Getting Around:

    Getting Around

    The location is amazing! Walking distance from the Zoo, Adam`s Morgan neighborhood and metro as well various buses to quickly take you to all the major sights. Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan metro is less than 15 minutes from the home on foot, and buses can take you there directly as well. There is a bus stop 5 minutes from the house that can whisk you all over the city!

    Capital Bikeshare`s surround the area as well, so for those inclined, its a great way to borrow a bike and explore the area!

An Eclectic DC Gem

The property was very stylish, full of interring objects from around the world, yet still felt relaxed and comfortable. The property was very clean and well stocked. Out only issue was parking (we did not realize just how difficult DC parking was) but the owner had useful suggestions that made the experience less fraught. Neighbor was great and many restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

Adams Morgan

Nice house, all essentials there. Floor lamp in living room needs replacing, on/ off knob broken off. Could use another indirect light source. Front upstairs bath needs a trash basket, bedrooms as well. Small issues, but important. Stay was delightful.

Great DC Option For Visit

This home was an outstanding value. Rooms and beds were comfortable. Amenities were great. Perfect arrangement for a family. WiFi was great. If driving, recommend understanding the parking situation. It was a major issue for us. Parking is at a premium. Property owner will not allow the use of the garage onsite. Street parking is the only option and it is crowded and restricted. Uber or a long walk to the Metro is best option. Garages will give you a deal, but expect to pay an additional $80 to $120 for the week to garage a car without the in and out privileges plus the Uber costs to get back and forth. Best bet. Uber and Metro and leave the car behind if possible.

Nice property - inaccurate listing and poorly managed

We rented the home via VRBO, but the property is managed by a third party that runs it like a cheap motel rather than a welcoming home. The first sign of this was when we asked if there were extra pillows and towels and received an email that made us feel like we were being cross examined for asking what seemed like a normal request. The next day they sent the pillows but no towels. When I asked again they apologized and sent the towels a day later with some Prosecco and chocolate to compensate (hence the three star review instead of two) The listing claimed that the property had three bathrooms- one with a bathtub and two with showers. But there was only one full bathroom with a tub, one with a shower and another with just a toilet. I pointed this out but they made no attempt to adjust what they were charging despite the fact that their description (and what had lead us to rent the place) was wrong. The place was not cleaned properly- there were dust balls under the beds and radiators. Checkout time was one of the earliest I’ve seen at 10:30 AM. and they threaten you with extra charges if you are delayed. We have never stayed in a place where we felt so unwelcome. The house is in a lovely neighborhood, has an interesting collections of curios/artwork/books from various parts of the world that lends to the charm. - and is pretty convenient to access most points of interest. A better management company could probably make this work but for now I would not recommend.

We had a great stay and would absolutely recommend this property. The location was excellent—close to the Metro, making it easy to get around Washington, DC, while still being situated in a quiet, pleasant neighborhood. The house itself was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for our family to spread out and relax.Everything we needed was provided, and the home was well-equipped for our stay. We especially appreciated having a comfortable place to return to after long days of sightseeing. Overall, this was a fantastic home base for exploring DC, and we would gladly stay here again.

Beautiful House in Beautiful Neighborhood

The house was so spacious and easy to live in and find everything. All the amenities were inlcuded and in great working condition. The house was spotless and comfortable. We really enjoyed the neighborhood and the walk to the zoo and lots of great restaurants! Gorgeous decor inside the house but the house was still VERY child friendly.
