Welcome to a light-filled, renovated one-bedroom English basement just 2 blocks from the heart of H Street NE — one of DC’s best neighborhoods for food, nightlife, and everyday city living.
Unlike most basement apartments, this one doesn’t feel like one. Nearly 8-foot ceilings and full-size windows and doors bring in real natural light throughout the day, making the space feel open, airy, and genuinely comfortable.
Private by design. The apartment has its own dedicated front and rear entrances, completely separate from the unit above. No shared hallways, no shared spaces — just your own private retreat in the middle of the city. Keyless entry means you’re never fumbling for keys or worried about losing them.
Your kitchen, your linens, your home. The apartment is fully stocked with kitchen essentials, bathroom amenities, and all linens — towels, washcloths, sheets, and blankets included.
The neighborhood is half the experience. H Street is 2 blocks away, lined with acclaimed restaurants, and lively bars. Union Market and La Cosecha — two of DC’s favorite food and outdoor hangout destinations — are a short walk away. And there 7 grocery stores within a mile if you’d rather cook!
Getting around is effortless:
• 🚇 NoMa-Gallaudet Red Line Metro — 12-15 min walk
• 🚌 City bus stop at the corner
• 🚲 Capital Bikeshare station 1 block away
• 🛴 Electric scooters available throughout the neighborhood
• 🚗 Free street parking right out front
• 🏛️ The Capitol Building is a scenic 1-mile stroll down Maryland Ave NE
A note on the neighborhood: This is real, living DC — diverse in culture, background, and nationality. I’ve called this block home for over 10 years and love it for exactly that reason. Guests who share that appreciation will feel right at home here. A few nearby H Street NE (2 blocks) recommendations:
