Relax in the deep tub suitable for soaking in the upstairs bathroom or luxuriate in the shower downstairs. In addition to body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, both bathrooms offer a generous supply of free items that you may have forgotten to pack -- toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, and more.

Laundry:

Outdoor Areas:
You have full access to the private backyard where you’ll enjoy lounging on the patio chairs or having a meal al fresco.

When the weather heats up, cool off in the Old Town outdoor pool, which is located out the back gate and a block away. A daily admission fee of $6 per person will be charged by the facility.

Neighborhood Highlights:
Take advantage of easy access to the surrounding neighborhood and DC:
• Multitude of restaurants and all cuisines
• Water taxi to DC and National Harbor, plus the Baseball Boat when the Nationals are playing at home
• Quick access to highways leading to Northern Virginia

While I am pet-friendly, I allow dogs and cats only and a maximum of 2 pets total. I do charge an extra pet fee of $50 per stay to cover additional cleaning measures. I have no size or breed restrictions.

Things to be aware of:

• Front Door Entrance: Three concrete steps leading up to the front door with a smart lock keypad.
• Blink Camera: Located on the front door. All audio recording is turned off on the device. No monitoring devices inside the home.
• All areas in the house are available to guests except for the owner's closet in the upstairs hallway.
• The house is located near the above-ground metro and Amtrak train station. While this makes those transit choices convenient, it also comes with some associated noise: the light rumble of the metro trains on the elevated tracks, and the occasional sound of a train horn. However, we have never experienced any issues with excessive noise inside the townhouse. For instance, it does not affect your ability to have a conversation or watch TV. The metro trains do not run after midnight (2am on weekends) and the Amtrak and commuter trains are infrequent. I also provide earplugs and white noise machines in the bedrooms for light sleepers.

Whether you’re from the States or across the globe, my home is a safe space for folks from all minority and marginalized groups. I am a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and I welcome guests of all races, faiths, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
