A modern & renovated full bathroom is located in between the two bedrooms, and offers a combination shower and bathtub, toilet, sink and shelving space to store all of your toiletries. There is also a half bathroom located off the dining room.
We provide the basics like toilet paper and towels, but you'll also find amenities like shampoo, soap, a magnifying mirror, makeup remover wipes and facial cleansing cloths. Leave your hair dryer at home - we have that too!
KITCHEN:
After long days of hitting the town, there will be no question that you've worked up an appetite. Head to the fully-equipped, updated kitchen to find stainless steel appliances, beautiful granite countertops, and a gas range.
And what’s a luxury stay without a coffee bar? A dual Keurig / coffee maker with a variety of pods is available to you, in addition to fresh ground coffee (both regular and decaf, of course). Prefer tea over coffee? There's a hot water kettle and an array of flavors to choose from.
Pots, pans, baking dishes and cooking utensils are provided so you'll have everything you need to whip up a feast. If you have guests to impress, you'll find full place settings, wine glasses and champagne glasses in the cabinets.

B) Enjoy an evening glass of wine or a morning cup of coffee in one of the two lounge chairs located in the bay windows that overlook neighboring rowhomes
DINING SPACE:
A modern fixture overlooks a long table with four chairs, providing you with enough space to host everyone in one spot for dinner. Bar stools provide the perfect spot for a casual breakfast or for mingling with your group's chef while a meal is prepared in the kitchen.
PARKING:
*Private driveway parking in the rear of the home is available for FREE for 1 vehicle.
*Unlike the majority of DC, street parking for this location is generally easy to come by, but we do not guarantee space(s) directly in front of the home as they are not reserved spots.
*No car? No problem, our central location means you'll be walking distance from some of DC's most popular eateries and shops. The closest metro station is a six-minute walk away.
**PLEASE NOTE**
Should accessibility need to be considered, stairs are required to access the Jefferson Jewel. We kindly ask that you take this into consideration when booking.
OTHER:
Any reservations made outside of Airbnb (Ex. VRBO, Direct Booking Website, Other) that are later canceled will NOT receive a refund of payment processing fees incurred by Owner, regardless of cancellation policy. This amount is typically ~3% of the total reservation amount.
