Ground Level Apartment Close Proximity To Metro Station

• The secured apartment is ground level and has all the necessities you may need for your stay. Coffee, teas and some basic breakfast items are provided in addition there are condiments and spices etc, if you prefer to prepare your own meals. While there is no dishwasher there are a full range of appliances both big (gas stove) and small including a rice cooker and a waffle maker, there is also a washer & dryer within the apt.

• Yes, towels and bed linens are supplied, there is an Iron & iron board to make your outfit niftier and no apt is complete without a First Aid kit! There is also two hairdryers and a necessity for today’s world: WIFI! A recent addition is safety rails in the bathroom.

• There is ample Washington related literature in the apt for guest to peruse. Kids are not forgotten as there are board games and toys for there entertainment. Sorry there is no
Cable TV.

• Weather permitting, there is a back patio and gas grill for my guest to relax and use, it also provides a relaxing area for smokers.

• There is non- competitive street parking directly opposite the apt, I have been providing my guest with a “Temporary Visitor Parking Permit” courtesy DC Gov’t which has allowed them to park there for their entire visit without fear of being ticketed.

• Grocery Shopping: There is a local Safeway about a 15 minute walk up Benning Rd, however as it is more convenient to shop at the Harris Teeters which is obliquely opposite the Potomac Ave Metro Station; 2 stops and 6 minutes away where there is also a large Safeway supermarket. There is also a Costco conveniently located at the Pentagon City Metro Station and yes I do have a shopping cart in the apt for bulk shopping. There is another Costco within driving distance (max 15 minutes), this one, to the joy of every Washingtonian sell alcohol! For those that prefer organic products there is the Sun Market and a Trader Joe’s plus an old style market (a must visit on weekends!) near the aptly named Eastern Market Metro Station and Whole Foods near Foggy Bottom Metro Station.

• I recommend using the Metro while here in DC. The apt is very near to the Benning Rd Metro Station (0.13 mile/021km) which is served by both the Blue& Silver lines; All the major historical sites such as the Capitol Building, Library of Congress the many Smithsonian Museums and the White House are directly on the route of the Blue and Silver lines the exception being the National Zoo which is on the Red line.

• Arlington Cemetery, the Pentagon and Reagan National Airport are all directly connected to the Blue Line route, while there is a shuttle bus linking the Silver line to Dulles Airport. DC is also a walking friendly city; it is small, with great leafy neighborhoods to explore, and a monument around each corner.

• Other than the conveniently situated metro station (3 minutes walk max!) there is the 96/97 Bus line that plies East Capitol Street which is directly behind the apt, the 97 route takes you via the beautiful and historic Capitol Hill neighborhood(worth exploring) to the Folgers Shakespeare Library, Library of Congress (Jefferson building is a must see!) Supreme Court, the Capitol Building ending at Union Station. The 96 Bus also goes to the National Cathedral via Union Station and the trendy U St corridor. It is an inexpensive way of viewing DC’s interesting communities and landmarks.

• The neighborhood is in transition (judge for yourself) other than the newly renovated Denney’s Restaurant, a 711 Convenience Store, the newly established Shrimp Boat Plaza and some takeout shops in the not too appealing Benning Plaza, there nothing needing exploration in the area. Yes it’s safe to walk from the metro station even late at night, the street is brightly lit and no, you will not encounter people idling on your route from the metro station to the apt, however If you are not comfortable sharing the pavement with people of color, my apt is not for you. Be advised; DC is a wonderful diverse city with an international flavor and 40% of the population being African American!

Great Stay

This was a wonderful place, and Wayne was a wonderful host. He had a cheese plate awaiting us for our anniversary and was always quick to reply and suggest activities around town. The apartment was small and cozy, just as described. The bed was pretty soft, but I like it that way. We felt safe here day or night out walking from the Metro Station that was a little over 500 feet away and VERY CONVIENENT! Overall A++

Perfect vacation spot

Wayne is a very gracious host. The apartment is just as described. My family and I had a very comfortable stay and if we had any questions, Wayne was available to answer them. The apartment was ready for us when we arrived and Wayne provided many staple items if we needed them. We have already recommended this to our friends. If you want a place close to the metro this is the perfect place.

Great affordable location

We traveled from Indianapolis and planned on spending most of our trip visiting the Smithsonian. This location is so close to a metro station and had good reviews so we booked it. We all felt safe and the host was very attentive. Our neighbor even helped open the gate for me while my hands were full with groceries. I would recommend staying here.

Haven in the city

We loved that this apt is so close to the metro which we used over and over daily during our stay. Wayne was a personable host who left us food to jump start our stay, many brochures and books about the area and advice. Though this apt is located in a less-advantaged side of the city, every single person we met in the area was helpful and friendly. The apt met our needs. Would return.

Convenient location and helpful manager

This property is accurately depicted in the photos. It is very conveniently located close to the metro. We didn't hava any issue with parking. Wayne is the most helpful host I've encountered. He made sure that we understood the metro system, gave recommendations for sites to see, provided us with metro cards that we could load, and left fruit on the table. He really went above and beyond. The apartment was well stocked with a variety of supplies that were helpful.

An awesome week in DC with a wonderful host.

A lovely and quaint apartment with everything one could need for a very comfortable stay. More importantly Wayne is a wealth of information and assistance who truly enhanced our visit to DC. We were well pleased with the apartment’s proximity to the metro and DCs excellent public Transit system. The walk to the metro is barely 2 minutes. I know where we’ll stay the next time we visit DC.

DC Trip

Wayne went out of his way sharing information about DC before we arrived. When we arrived Wayne further explained the subway system and places to eat along with providing food for our first night. AC worked great, accommodations were comfortable. Location to access subway was perfect. Neighbors were friendly. I would recomend this VRBO. Thanks for your great hospitality Wayne

Host with the most

Of all of the places that we've rented on trips, Wayne is the most gracious and thoughtful host we've ever met. Wayne's place was a great location for our family to hop on the metro and tour the city. The thoughtful details (instructions in the apartment, guides for DC and surrounding areas, food, metro cards, umbrellas) make his hosting exceptional. We hope to be back and stay here again someday!

Close to metro, further from DC, great host

Host was very friendly and provided fruit and other items for our arrival. Very accommodating when we needed to use a printer. Apartment is further from DC but close to metro so it was very convenient. Street does look a little scary but neighbors were nice, and we had absolutely no problems. We would definitely stay there again because we were able to cook some meals and park our vehicle for five days.

Great experience! First time visiting DC for our family, and highly recommend. So close to the Metro, it’s easy to get anywhere. Small but functional apartment works as a good resting spot between adventures. Beds are very comfortable! Description is on point. Wayne is fabulous and goes above and beyond - food in the fridge and cabinets, provides metro cards, information, helpful tips, anything you need. Great alternative to expensive hotels.

Great price for family in DC

Wayne was a phenomenal host who went above and beyond to keep us I formed of Al there is to do in DC. He provided many extras I’ve never received at other properties and ensured we were comfortable. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat! We loved the proximity to the Metro and having enough space for our whole family. Since the museums close at 5:30 each night we were able to come home and cook dinner every night which was a great cost savings. I can’t say enough about how much we appreciated Wayne and his kindness.

We enjoyed our stay. Wayne was available to meet us as we checked in. He was a great host. He had stocked the fridge. The apartment is as listed. We had 4 adults and had plenty of room to sit and relax when in the apartment. We did spend most days away. Just early mornings and evenings in the apartment. Parking was very easy always a spot for our rental car across the street.

Wayne is the perfect host who lives upstairs. He is always friendly and available with a wisdom of Washington that is waiting to be accessed. He goes beyond and above by providing extra attention to detail with a stocked fridge available to guests and an always cheerful demeanour. The house is extremely comfortable with all amenities provided and a genuine 3 minute walk to the Metro (with a train every 4-5 minutes) with all of Washington's attractions less than 30 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would highly recommend it.
