The food mecca that is Union Market is also within walking distance, not to be missed! Also there's some great shopping opportunities with lots of new pop-up stores around the entrepreneurial Union Market scene, REI's flagship store and all the shopping inside Union Station. You are also just a short stroll from the most popular bars and restaurants in the city.

NoMa-Gallaudet U New York Ave Station is a 7 minute stroll from the apartment, where you can hop on the red line metro, that can whisk you all over the city!

Loved my stay!

Wonderful little apartment, perfect for a weekend stay in DC! The hosts were incredibly attentive, and it's in a great area, central to a metro stop and several grocery stores. I've already recommended this to other friends, and I would absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in DC.

As advertised

Just a short walk to the Metro in NOMA, property was spotless and very cozy. Everything we used worked and the rooms were nicely decorated. Only suggestions would be a handrail down th e steps to the door and a luggage rack. We would stay there again.

Lovely last minute stay

I had a last minute change of plans and needed to find housing my daughter and I with a days notice. This unit was available so I jumped on it. It did not disappoint. The neighborhood is up and coming, with a Trader Joe’s, full of new restaurants and things to do. The unit was over appointed with all kitchen equipment you could ever desire plus a washer and dryer! And with close proximity to the Metro. This was an excellent stay and I highly recommend.

Great place to stay for a visit

First time visiting Washington DC, great place to stay! Everything is close by and easy walking distance. Whole Foods is an excellent place to get some food! Love the flexibility of the VEO scooters and little bikes to get around to see the city. This place is quiet and has all the amedities you need. Washer and dryer was perfect for a quick wash. The only thing missing was maybe a hotel safe for us. But that is very minor issue honestly. Parking our vehicule was a breaze and a big plus for us choosing this location. Highly recommend !

Lovely apartment and convenient location

Beautiful apartment; clean and comfy for two of us. The location was convenient to the NoMa Metro station and there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance, as well as a couple of grocery stores where we could pick up the few items we needed. (We did not want to bother with renting a car.) Many of the restaurants and grocery stores were the opposite direction from the Metro station relative to the apartment, which was a little inconvenient once I developed blisters on my feet. But they were still handy, and the neighborhood is very pedestrian friendly, with lots of people (even with kids and dogs) out and about. The apartment is lovely, in great shape, nice and clean, and well appointed. We appreciated having the washer and dryer in the apartment, and it was great that the host even provided laundry soap. We would recommend this property.

Great location, clean but disappointing communication

Great spot in a quiet neighborhood near the capital with lots of amenities nearby. The property was very clean and private. The upstairs residents were more quiet than we expected and made for an enjoyable stay. Communication with property manager was a bit of a struggle. To their credit, they proactively asked on day 1 how our stay was going. Informed them the hot water was barely lukewarm and there was no effort to resolve the issue in the next two days of our stay. Were told the upstairs residents said it was hot for them and suggested we run the water for a couple of minutes to see if it would heat up. Of course this happened as we took at least 6 showers during our stay and never had hot water. After confirming we did, in fact, let the water run, there was never a response or effort to resolve the issue. That was disappointing. Pack your own detergent if you expect to do laundry. Could not find any, and inquiries into where it might be also went unanswered. If they fix the water, this would be a great choice if coming to DC.
