New for 2026: a kitten, born fall 2025. For exchanges without a cat, see our basement apt listing. 

Our row home is nearly 100 years old, with recent renovations that preserve the charm… think exposed brick and original finishes. We have small luxuries in the house like heated tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom. My husband has thoughtfully decorated the house with mid-century modern furniture and local art. We are walkable to some restaurants.

We are a 20 minute drive from the White House, 10-15 minutes from the Capitol, Union Station, and 10-20 minutes from all the free Smithsonian museums.

The internet is strong for working from home. 

There's plenty of public transportation so you can visit without a car. But there's plenty of parking if you have a car.

There are steps to enter the home and to get to the bedrooms, so the house is not very accessible to those with mobility challenges.

The Space

2 floors: the first floor is living, dining, kitchen, .5 bath.

The second floor has 1 full bathroom and 2 bedrooms: 1 primary with queen bed, 1 bedroom with a single bed + desk setup. (note there is a 3rd bedroom not offered at this time)

Guest Access

Access to 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, front porch, street parking. No access to the basement or the backyard unless exchanging with a big group.

*Note that my daughter does not want anyone using her room so we are respecting that for now and just offering 2 bedrooms. We will try again later.

Notes

Option to have a professional cleaning upon departure ($150). 

I have a couple of autoimmune disorders. What that means for you: no gluten! Please don't bring/use any flour in the house, it just gets everywhere including the air and lingers. You CAN have normal gluten food like bread, pasta, cookies, crackers, etc. There are 2 toasters so please don't use the gluten free one with gluten products. 

No fragrance! (chemicals/artificial fragrance triggers migraines). Please don't use any perfume or scented lotions. 

We do ask that if you choose to clean, you leave it in the same condition as you found it, beds made, bathrooms cleaned, kitchen counters and stove wiped, floor vacuumed.

This is an attached row house with neighbors on both sides and basement apt below the house so you may hear some minor noise, and need to be mindful of your noise level. 

We listed the basement apt separately because we have much more availability to host there, but a big group could use both to sleep 6-8.

Neighbourhood

-15 minute drive from the Capitol
-10 minute drive from Union Station
-10-20 minute drive from Smithsonian Museums
-10-20 minute drive from the Washington monument, MLK monument, Jefferson monument
-5 minute drive to La Cosecha/Union Market food halls
-10-15 minute walk to restaurants on H St

We live in Trinidad, NE Washington, DC. This is a relatively quiet, residential area.

We have 2 playgrounds in the neighborhood, one you can see from the house and a nicer one about a 6 minute walk away.

Around a 10 minute walk to H St + 13th St block:
-Maketto (interesting Asian menu in trendy boutique)
-Imm on H (Thai Food)

Joe Cole rec center, a 6-8 min walk away, has a playground, splash park in the summer, and Sunday farmers market year-round.

Getting to my home

Fly to DCA, IAD, or BWI. Or train/long distance bus to Union Station.

Nearest airport

DCA (closest, just a 20 minute drive, $25-30 taxi ride. Taxi>Uber when leaving the airport)
IAD, BWI are about an hour away, $50-60+ Uber ride

Union Station is about a 10 minute drive away, with trains and busses to Philadelphia, NYC, etc.

Getting Around

Without a car: Within a few blocks away are several bus lines that takes you to towards the White House, Chinatown, and downtown. The C71 bus takes you from Union Station to a block from the house. You can walk 10 minutes to the H St streetcar that takes you to Union Station for free. 

If you will take the bus, you need $2.25 cash in exchange change or you can tap a credit card or Apple pay.

Ubers and Lyfts are usually plentiful so that is always a good option. And sometimes priced about the same as the bus/metro for short trips.

Capitol Bikeshare has docked bikes for rent, a 30 second walk way (cross the alley and you will see them).

There are sometimes Lyft/Lime scooters and e-bikes on the block, but can't guarantee access.

We are a family of 3, with 11 year old daughter. I  work remotely for a healthcare association. My husband owned a restaurant for many years but is now semi-retired. Non-smokers. My bookworm daughter would love to talk to you about Harry Potter and Greek mythology. 

We visit Florida 1-2x a year to see my family in North Florida, and fit in a more exciting trip or two for Spring Break and Summer.
