Important extras to mention:



NO SMOKING:

No smokers please! If you are a smoker, this is not the good space for you to choose. I have severe sensitivity to smoke. There is absolutely no smoking inside my apartment and there is not a comfortable place to sit and smoke immediately outside either.

SURROUNDING AREA:

Walking distance to great restaurants, King Street, two metro stops (Braddock Road and King Street), Trader Joe's, Harris Teeter, and Water Taxis into National Harbor, Washington Harbor and Georgetown. Quick train or Uber to DCA and Washington DC.

ACCESSIBILITY:

There are six steps down to your front door entrance. Inside there are two steps down into the bedroom.

NOTES ON THE SHARED ROWHOUSE:

Our 1847 townhouse, fully renovated for modern luxury, offers two independent rental units—each with its own private entrance, smart lock for easy self check-in, and exclusive access to premium amenities like spa-inspired bathrooms and plush king beds.

We've crafted this dual-unit gem to deliver an upscale, hassle-free Old Town escape—historic allure meets contemporary comfort, steps from restaurants, waterfront, and DC transit. Host lives next door for peace of mind. Ideal for couples or solo travelers seeking privacy and that rare sense of home.

THERMOSTAT:

Also, please note that temperature control is controlled remotely. We recognize that "comfortable" is subjective. We do our best to seek just the right temperature. In the cooler months we have electric heaters for those who want it warmer.

CANCELLATION POLICY/TRAVEL INSURANCE:

Even the best laid plans can change, and that includes trips. Given the unpredictability of travel interruptions, such as, weather, family emergencies, sudden illness, natural disaster, etc., we highly recommend our guests purchase travel insurance or review any credit card benefits to protect their vacation investment. Most policies require that purchase be made within 48 hours of booking.  We are unable to make exceptions to our cancellation policy for events outside our control that do not impact the suitability of our dwelling, but happy to provide any documentation to support insurance claims.
