About this property

Cozy English Basement Guesthouse

My guesthouse is close to Fort Totten Metro Station, dining & shopping on Upshur Avenue in Petworth, and a 10 minute cab drive to the popular U Street Corridor. You’ll love my place because of easy it's access to buses and the subway. Great for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. It sleeps two comfortably with a queen size bed and twin futon sofa bed. The tree lined neighborhood is quiet. There is ample parking if you are driving a car on your trip.

The property is a good 15 minute walk to the Metro Train Station. A straight walk right to the train station. The neighborhood is safe and street parking was available right by the property. The price point is excellent and the property is convenient for 2 people to stay in. All convenience is there if you want to buy groceries and cook for yourself and your guests.

I had a great stay here! Teri was nice and communicative, and it would be almost impossible to find a similar place at such a great price!- Positives: great/safe location, easy access to public transit (nearest bus pick-up 5 minute walk; nearest train station 15 minute walk), and Teri provided some drinks and snacks!- Negatives: bathroom was tight and the property could use some updates.Overall, I had a great stay here and I would recommend this property.

Very convenient to all sites in Washington DC. On street parking was always available. When it was warm, we were able to get cool. When it was cold, we were warm. The unit was clean except for the refrigerater drawer and the throw rugs need to go away. We were comfortable and felt safe. The neighbors were friendly also. No real complaints that matter. Good experience.

Washington DC base for exploring

We used the guesthouse as our base to explore DC. We walked to Fort Totten metro train station, about a 15 minute walk, and it was ideal. We used the stove to cook at night and big fridge was great.

Perfect getaway

Perfect place for a quick getaway to enjoy all that DC has to offer. Directions were clear and place fit the 2 of us. We were so exhausted from our adventures the noise from above did not bother us - similar to living in an apartment and hearing footsteps and chairs
