Bloomingdale Beauty in NW DC 9 blocks from Union Station, near RED LINE/NOMA

If you are looking for an authentic experience do consider staying at my home during your stay in DC. I am located on a tree-lined block in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in NW. It's a neighborhood of only about 12 square blocks with many hidden treasures: unassuming dive bars, surprise parks and award-winning restaurants. Bloomingdale is sandwhiched between the neighborhoods of Shaw and Eckington. It is on the border of the District’s northwest quadrant, stretching from Second Street NW to North Capitol, bordered by Florida Avenue NW to the south and Bryant and Channing places NW to the north.

Bloomingdale Beauty is a spacious Victorian home with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. It can hold comfortably 13 guests. However, there are only 10 beds. Air beds and tatamis are available for additional persons beyond 10. I offer my home as a clean, cheap, and safe place to sleep and recharge in the Nation's Capital. It's humble and doable for a few nights. There's a kitchen per your use. However, should you need to really cook, you will have to bring your essentials.

The home has a dining room with a very large wood table, a living room to lounge with guests; an iron with an ironing board; hangers; and etc. PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the upper unit of the home. There is a basement unit as well. Each unit is completely private and secure. There may be guests in the basement unit during your stay. There is a security system with cameras on the outside's front entry and back exit of home.

I had about nine people stay in this house and it worked absolutely amazingly! The neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors were sweet whenever they saw us. The were a few dead bugs in the showers when we first got there but overall was clean and beautiful. Would stay again!

Great spot for groups

Large house with plenty beds and futons. Had a large group of friends meet and stay here to see the capitals play and we all had a great time. Great food nearby and easy to Uber to everywhere we went. You would be hard pressed to find a space that will sleep a large group as comfortably and efficiently as this house. Would recommend and would stay again.

Stayed one night as a stopover in a family road trip. Six adults and 7 kids all accommodated comfortably. Beautiful neighborhood, amazing home, and responsive host. Could not have asked for a more positive experience. Also, a two minute walk to amazing pizza at Bacio’s!

Great Stay

This place was very accommodating for a group of buddies hanging out in DC for the weekend. The house was clean, and there was ample space for everyone. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was in a great spot and was very walkable. Communication with the host was prompt and professional. Checkout was easy. Only a very minor downside was the ice machine didn’t work and there weren’t trays, but the neighborhood is packed with stores. Not a big deal at all. Would definitely consider returning here.

Wonderful Stay in a Clean and Spacious House

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this house for a weekend getaway and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the location and spaciousness of the house. Everything was spotless and functional, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The location of the house was fantastic. It was conveniently situated in a great neighborhood, close to popular attractions and amenities. I was able to explore the area easily and access everything I needed without any hassle. One aspect that stood out to me was the excellent communication with the host. They were prompt and responsive to any inquiries or requests I had before and during my stay. It made the whole experience much more enjoyable and stress-free. Overall, I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a pleasant and comfortable stay. The spaciousness, great location, and exceptional communication with the host make it a top choice. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Just what we needed!

First of all, Dr. Koura was an excellent host! We needed help with directions to her home from the train station, I called Dr. Koura and without hesitation she gave us the directions to her home! Upon arriving to her home, it was just as described! The outside was beautiful! We felt very safe in her home! Very quiet neighborhood. We had no issues at all! The decor in the home was beautiful. The home was very clean. There were clean linens on the beds. There was soap and towels in every bathroom. The kitchen was immaculate and there was enough space for everyone! Dr. Koura was very accessible! The whole time she stayed in contact with us to make sure that everything was going well. The location of the home was close to everything that we had planned on visiting! We were able to Instacart groceries and took advantage of cooking in her beautiful kitchen! There were enough dishes, pots, and pans to do everything that we wanted! We are so thankful that we found this beautiful home to stay in during our trip in Washington! Hopefully, when we visit Washington again this home will be available! Thank you, Dr. Koura for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! God bless!

DC Fam Vaca

Overall the home was nice, centrally located, fairly comfortable for our family, ages 2-60. Bloomingdale beauty is showing her age. Safety was my main concern. There is a gas stove in the kitchen, when starting, it didn't ignite immediately, causing a gas oder and a fire flash. I've used gas many times. That should not happen. Ceramic floors in bathrooms are broken and sharp edges exist. Listing states there is parking, but a pass must be purchased for weekday parking (weekends don't require). The heat requires a pin, not provided till requested. Additional family members decided to join us, there were additional charges for them. Make sure you have exact numbers at reserve time, no extra charge then. The Host was out of the country, which slowed communications. All beds are singles, as pictured. Very limited seating, no tv, sparse kitchen supplies. The home is as portrayed in listing. The maid was very helpful.

Quaint neighborhood, plenty of beds

This place is as stated and as pictured in the write-up. It really shines for those who need a lot of beds to accommodate a bigger group. If you want something fancy, you will easily pay double what this is. Since we were doing a lot of sight-seeing, we were only there to sleep and take showers, and this place is perfect for that situation. This place has a lot of basic twin beds and the showers are older, but absolutely perfectly fine. There were window AC units in each room that worked great and the temp was good. The downstairs is as seen in the pics and is quite cool…almost like an art gallery. The neighborhood was very residential and quiet, not like the bustling city you’ll pass through to get there. I also easily found parking outside the place, but don't know if that’s always the case. I never ordered the parking pass from the owner or anything like that. We did not get a ticket or towed away. The area feels safe, but is very urban….don’t expect the suburbs or the country. Went to DC w our kids and an exchange student who is stating w us from France. We went to The National Mall, The White House, and The Monuments. I wouldn’t say they’re close by this residence, but we drove over there and, on a late Sat afternoon, found parking.
