Guaranteed Lowest Rate - Private En-Suite Room - Washington

Private en‑suite bedroom located in the vibrant Brookland area, the property provides easy access to Catholic University, the Basilica of the National Shrine, and local shops, breweries, and restaurants.

This is a Self-Clean Discount Stay! You are guaranteed the lowest rate, minus cleaning fees for your stay if you deliver the room spotless and ready for a new tenant at checkout. If the room is not in ready‑to‑rent condition, a $195 fee will be added after checkout. That said, "cleaning" complaints won't be taken into consideration.

This is not a business, nor a replacement for employment. As the homeowner, I leverage my basic living to assist me in covering some of my personal basic living expenses. In exchange for your spending, you receive a private and conveniently located place to host you during your stay in Washington D.C.

About the Space
Enjoy a private en‑suite bedroom with your own bathroom in a quiet, well‑kept home shared with two or three other respectful female residents.

- You’ll have access to fully furnished living areas, kitchens, laundry, and outdoor spaces.
- All utilities (internet, water, electricity) are included in the rate — please use them responsibly.

Cleanliness & Common Areas
This home is well maintained, and I expect all residents to contribute to that:

- Wipe down and mop the kitchen floor, counters, tables, and all cooking surfaces after food preparation.
- Keep hallways, entryways, and shared areas free of clutter.
- Remove all personal items from shared areas when not in use.
- Take out trash and recycling regularly — pickup day is Wednesday, and local recycling rules must be followed.
- Do not leave laundry unattended; laundry days rotate among residents.
- Be considerate of shared utilities (water, electricity, internet) to conserve energy.
- The previous guest left a tidy room for you to enjoy. That said, my daughter and I will not take action related to "cleaning." This is part of Self-Clean Discount Stay!
