The Petworth neighborhood is trendy and popular with families and the younger DC crowd as it’s residential, but has great access to downtown. There is a true sense of community, and everyone looks out for each other; porch culture reigns supreme, families pushing strollers, and neighbors greeting each other with smiles are common sightings! Sherman Circle directly out the front door is where the neighborhood gathers for picnics, shaded walks/jogs, grassy playdates, and socializing. Traveling in town to visit your grandkids? Heading in for a family trip to DC? Solo traveler looking for a safe neighborhood stay? This is the ideal spot for you!

You will find lots of great little eateries and coffee shops nestled among the tree- lined streets. Upshur Street is just a ten-minute walk away, which boasts great local restaurants, a YES! Organic supermarket, a large playground and recreation center (with splash pad!), and a farmer’s market on Saturday mornings from May to November. Lincoln’s Cottage (off of Rock Creek Church Road), where President Lincoln used to vacation when he wanted to get away from the White House, is a short stroll from the home. The nearby Rock Creek Cemetery dates back to 1712;  both the Cemetery and the Armed Forces Retirement Home are on the National Register of Historic Places.

Guests will have access to the entire residence, it is not shared.

There is a family living upstairs. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life.

Our one bedroom + den basement level apartment has one queen sized bed in the bedroom, one full sized sleeper sofa and one twin sized futon in the living room (great for kiddos, a bit small for adults!), creating the perfect flexible space. With a fully equipped kitchen and a generously sized fridge, all of the wants from home are just a fingertip away. The apartment is complete with a Smart TV (with streaming capabilities), allowing guests to keep up with their favorite shows. The unit is also equipped with a clothes drying rack, luggage rack, and hair dryer for your ultimate comfort. Working from your home away from home? Our den is outfitted as an office, with a desk, desk lamp, printer, and Zoom-worthy backdrop.

Perfect for families unwinding after their day traversing the sights, our space comes complete with kids table and chairs, plus kiddo cups, plates, bowls, and silverware (even some toys!). We also have a Pack and Play and sound machine at the ready for you. Our darling apartment comes complete with a wall- mounted air conditioning unitts so guests can adjust the temperature to their preference. Your search for where to stay in DC for business or pleasure stops here! Our centrally- located apartment is the ideal space to call home and get the most out of the city resting just outside your door.
