PLEASE DO NOT USE "Instant Booking" Do NOT use "Instant booking" AGAIN - PLEASE DO NOT USE INSTANT BOOKING! We have to enable "instant booking" or our listing is hidden, but this apt. is listed on several other sites and I might be in discussion with others. PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST. - Click on "Contact Owner" Tab just beneath "Check Availability." You will save time and trouble if we email first to be sure my apt. is available and perfect for you! Minimum stay is 30 days (unless there is a natural "gap" between reservations.) This charming apartment is the entire 3rd floor of an historic row house in the dynamic neighborhood of Columbia Heights. The apartment is separate and private with a door at the bottom of the stairs, but the entry is through the main house where I live. You may come and go as you please. I'm a writer & work at home. I have two cats (and often foster kittens) in the main house. The animals never go into the apartment. Your well-trained dog or cat is welcome with a pet-cleaning fee of $50.00 per stay. You must be fully vaccinated against Covid 19. RATES $1750.00/month $120.00/ night for 2 people. Maximum 2 people Price INCLUDES tax and cleaning LOCATION Only Half-block from Columbia Heights Metro station, (Yellow/Green line) it is only 5 stops (7-10 minutes) to tourist areas - Smithsonian museums, US Capitol, Convention Center, Zoo. NEARBY - within two blocks Dozens of restaurants and cafes, neighborhood pubs, coffee shops, grocery Store, CVS drugstore, Farmer's Market. Shopping center with Target & Marshals. (Travel light and buy it all here!) Other neighborhoods with similar vibrant nightlife & restaurants - Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, Mount Pleasant & U st - are an easy 15-20 minute walk, or one subway stop away. AMENITIES \- The apartment has one bedroom with queen sized bed, a full bathroom and a separate living room with a comfy queen-sized sofa bed. There is a TV with cable & DVD in each room. High speed Wireless INTERNET. In the living room there is a kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, 2 electric burners, toaster, coffee maker, crock pot, etc. - everything you need to prepare light meals. Because of the open stairs the apt. is not safe for crawling babies and toddlers. PARKING I provide a permit for free street parking. Off street parking is available - $15.00 per night. I accept credit cards through PayPal.
