Summary:
This gorgeous apartment is right in the heart of the peaceful and tree-lined streets of historic Mount Pleasant – a true village in the city.

The Space:
BONUS: The piece-de-resistance of this property is the one-of-a-kind covid-friendly hair salon ‘Open Hair Care’ on site! The owner (and acclaimed stylist) of the residence set up the salon in his back yard during covid and continues to style Washingtonian’s in his chic (green roofed) shed. It has to be seen to be believed. One lucky guest per group can enjoy a complimentary gift - a safe and stylish FREE haircut (in order to enjoy your free haircut, it must be arranged IN ADVANCE of your stay with us and will be at 9:45AM).

~ Queen sized bed in the primary bedroom
~ Full sized bed in the second bedroom (originally a bunk bed the railings have been modified for a cool design that doubles as added security for restless sleepers and little ones, no falling out of bed!).
~ Full sized sofa bed in the living space (with additional futon available - perfect for kiddos!)
Stroll to the kitchen and find everything at your fingertips - guests can whip up breakfast or dinner in the efficient space. The kitchen island doubles as a dining space and additional laptop friendly workspace if needed (additional chairs can be found in storage).

Guest Access:
~ The apartment isn’t shared, but there are folks living in the unit above you. There is a shared washer/dryer, shared with the tenants upstairs.
~ The owners are a young family with kids living upstairs. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life. It’s a great option for families familiar with the pitter patter!
The Neighborhood:
We are a 7-minute stroll to the nearest metro station (Columbia Heights). And we are 1 mile from D.C.’s beautiful and much-loved Rock Creek Park. There you’ll find miles of riverside trails, just great for biking and running or an evening picnic. For people traveling with children, there are multiple options nearby, including playgrounds, ice cream (at Mount Desert) and pizza shops, the National Zoo, and the many other kid-friendly options that D.C. offers.
Mount Pleasant`s rich historical connection to D.C. has made it a diverse, cultured and community-driven neighborhood. Complete with it`s own main street, beautiful historic rowhouses with huge porches, tree-lined streets, guests can enjoy a small town feel in the heart of our Nation`s Capitol. The location is amazing!
Nearby Columbia Heights neighborhood has a plethora of dining, shopping and entertainment options. With excellent proximity to public transportation, you are not limited to the area, but you may not want to leave!
With boutiques and family owned shops intermingled with national retailers so you could get lost in, any shopper will find something up their alley. Stroll the mural lined streets and take in a show at the Tivoli Theater in lovely Columbia Heights!
We are a stone’s throw from some of DC’s trendiest areas; The ever lively 14th Street Corridor is a great area and has something for everyone; bars, restaurants, galleries, boutiques, coffee shops, music venues, and vintage stores.
The U St Corridor which houses some of the best nightlife in the District is also a short distance further south from the apartment - the amazing music, food, and drink scene is a great way to spend an evening, and soak up the DC experience.
Getting Around:
We are 7 minutes on foot from Columbia Heights metro station. From there guests have access to the green and yellow lines. You can also catch several buses that whisk you all over the city, and nearby capital bike share stations, just borrow a bike and explore the area!
