Cozy English Basement Guesthouse

My guesthouse is close to Fort Totten Metro Station, dining & shopping on Upshur Avenue in Petworth, and a 10 minute cab drive to the popular U Street Corridor. You’ll love my place because of easy it's access to buses and the subway. Great for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. It sleeps two comfortably with a queen size bed and twin futon sofa bed. The tree lined neighborhood is quiet. There is ample parking if you are driving a car on your trip.

Great base for exploring DC

I enjoyed staying here. It was the right size and convenient to both the bus and Metro for going downtown to see the sights. The kitchen had tea and snacks, which were a godsend until I could get to a store. The unit was a bit warm at times

Perfect getaway

Perfect place for a quick getaway to enjoy all that DC has to offer. Directions were clear and place fit the 2 of us. We were so exhausted from our adventures the noise from above did not bother us - similar to living in an apartment and hearing footsteps and chairs

Glad I found a place to stay

Initially I believed it was a cozy apartment. I was greeted by rodent droppings. On the stove and table in the kitchen. The kitchen sink backed up Saturday morning and the host replied to my message that she would try to get a technician out tomorrow before check out but no one showed And then I noticed that the bathroom hadn't been cleaned before I got there. It is in walking distance to the metro though.

Second time and it feels like home

My wife and I went to see a concert and decided to stay here again. We went earlier this year and aaa thoroughly happy with our stay. When we came in we were greeted with a sense of familiarity and comfort that comes from a place that makes you feel at home. Thank you again for letting us stay and we hope to do it again in the future

Just the right fit

We used this nice basement apartment as our base for visiting our kids and grandkids in DC. It was an easy walk to the metro and if we didn't feel like walking we could use Lyft / Uber. The room was comfy and meet our needs. The description was accurate and we were glad we stayed.

This apartment is very comfortable and a good value for the price. If you like to cook, the gas stove is a real plus. Fort Totten Metro Station (Red & Green lines) was an easy 12-minute walk. If you're driving, street parking was readily available in front of the apartment every day I was there. Finally, the owner provided clear instructions and even stocked the apartment with some drinks, snacks, and good coffee!
