Bloomingdale Beauty in NW DC 9 blocks from Union Station, near RED LINE/NOMA

If you are looking for an authentic experience do consider staying at my home during your stay in DC. I am located on a tree-lined block in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in NW. It's a neighborhood of only about 12 square blocks with many hidden treasures: unassuming dive bars, surprise parks and award-winning restaurants. Bloomingdale is sandwhiched between the neighborhoods of Shaw and Eckington. It is on the border of the District’s northwest quadrant, stretching from Second Street NW to North Capitol, bordered by Florida Avenue NW to the south and Bryant and Channing places NW to the north.

Bloomingdale Beauty is a spacious Victorian home with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. It can hold comfortably 13 guests. However, there are only 10 beds. Air beds and tatamis are available for additional persons beyond 10. I offer my home as a clean, cheap, and safe place to sleep and recharge in the Nation's Capital. It's humble and doable for a few nights. There's a kitchen per your use. However, should you need to really cook, you will have to bring your essentials.

The home has a dining room with a very large wood table, a living room to lounge with guests; an iron with an ironing board; hangers; and etc. PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the upper unit of the home. There is a basement unit as well. Each unit is completely private and secure. There may be guests in the basement unit during your stay. There is a security system with cameras on the outside's front entry and back exit of home.

Fun Trip

I had about nine people stay in this house and it worked absolutely amazingly! The neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors were sweet whenever they saw us. The were a few dead bugs in the showers when we first got there but overall was clean and beautiful. Would stay again!

Great spot for groups

Large house with plenty beds and futons. Had a large group of friends meet and stay here to see the capitals play and we all had a great time. Great food nearby and easy to Uber to everywhere we went. You would be hard pressed to find a space that will sleep a large group as comfortably and efficiently as this house. Would recommend and would stay again.

Stayed one night as a stopover in a family road trip. Six adults and 7 kids all accommodated comfortably. Beautiful neighborhood, amazing home, and responsive host. Could not have asked for a more positive experience. Also, a two minute walk to amazing pizza at Bacio’s!

World 38

We had a group of adults attending a convention in Washington DC. The property was perfect for what we needed. The only thing that would help would be more chairs for the table. It was HOT and HUMID while we were there as well. I know there were only window air conditioners….so maybe some oscillating fans would have been beneficial as well. Dr. Koura did stop by and this woman was amazing. So kind….so understanding. Thank you Dr. Koura for allowing to stay at your house. It was an honor.

Great NYE stay

Eight of us spent New Years Eve at this space and had a wonderful stay. The home is clean, interesting, spacious, and exactly as described in the listing. All of the beds are singles but they are comfortable and clean. The neighborhood was nice and the owner, Koura, was responsive and helpful. The kitchen would benefit from adding some oven safe bowls or plates, a wine opener, and wine glasses to the kitchen (we drank champagne out of coffee mugs because the glassware was limited).

Dr. Gibson hosted myself and some friends for a weekend and the experience was great! The property is exactly as pictured and is in a comfortable, convenient neighborhood. The home was comfortable and easily fit all of us without difficulty. It was a perfect place to rest and recharge after a long day out in the city.

Great Stay

This place was very accommodating for a group of buddies hanging out in DC for the weekend. The house was clean, and there was ample space for everyone. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was in a great spot and was very walkable. Communication with the host was prompt and professional. Checkout was easy. Only a very minor downside was the ice machine didn’t work and there weren’t trays, but the neighborhood is packed with stores. Not a big deal at all. Would definitely consider returning here.

Small Town kids hit the city

Overall our stay was good. There was plenty of space for our students and it was easy to find our way to the nearest metro station. Could have used a few more pots, pans and utensils for cooking as we did prepare meals at dinner and breakfast.. Made it a bit challenging. The kids initially complained there was no TV but after a very short time they adapted.
