You’re just a 7-minute walk to the Minnesota Ave Metro Station on the Orange Line. From there, it’s easy to reach DC’s top attractions: 7 stops to the Smithsonian museums, 4 stops to Capitol Hill, and 3 stops to the shops and restaurants of Eastern Market.

Our home is located in a vibrant, historically Black neighborhood with deep roots and a rich cultural heritage. Many families here have lived in the area for generations, creating a strong sense of community and pride.

This peaceful, residential area offers an authentic experience of everyday life in Washington, DC—quite different from the more commercial parts of the city. You’ll see local culture and history reflected in the neighborhood’s character and its warm, welcoming residents.

Marvin Gaye, the legendary soul singer, grew up in this area, adding to its rich cultural story. For nature lovers, there are lovely trails just a couple of blocks away—perfect for strolls or dog walks—as well as the nearby Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens and the U.S. National Arboretum, both wonderful places to explore.

We encourage guests to embrace and appreciate the unique story and spirit of this community during their stay.

The apartment is 1.5 blocks from the Minnesota Ave metro stop (orange line) which also has a large bus stop for buses that go all over the city. The neighborhood is walkable and safe, with nice trails for evening walks. There is plenty of available street parking.

We allow reliably house-trained dogs for a $25 pet fee per dog per night for stays under 7 nights. If you want to bring your dog, please let us know:

- If they are 100% reliably house-trained

We must approve their stay, but we have never rejected a reliably house-trained dog. We do not allow cats or puppies.

We would really appreciate it if you could bathe your dog before visiting.
