About this property
The Little Nest! Charming Brookland Parking!
Summary: Recently renovated and newly decorated, our lovely guest suite apartment in the heart of Brookland is perfect for couples or business traveler`s hoping for a relaxing city experience. With easy access to public transportation and all the major D.C. sights, enjoy our little slice of heaven!
The Space: Beautifully decorated it`s breezy and bright, and although small, it feels open and comfortable with shared garden.
The apartment has its own separate entrance, your front door opens up onto a gorgeous secluded large back deck area perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, or winding down in the evenings with a glass of wine.
The bedroom provides a sanctuary-like retreat complete with desk area and a brand new comfy queen bed! Pocket doors allow for additional privacy. The bathroom is drenched in sunlight from an overhead skylight and leads onto a walk-in closet area with additional storage space if needed.
Take a break from restaurant hopping and utilize the European style kitchen; it`s small but comes equipped with essentials (convection oven / portable cooktop / coffee maker / mini fridge) just perfect for those hoping to whip up a small meal or reheat leftovers from one of the many great restaurants just minutes away on foot. (Our favorites are Menomale for authentic pizza and Primrose, amazing French cuisine with great wine selection).
Enjoy your dinner whilst looking out onto the deck and large shared garden at the back.
Private off street parking included - a rarity in D.C.!
Guest Access: The apartment entrance is located at the rear of the rowhome.
The Neighborhood: Brookland, lovingly referred to by the locals as ‘Little Italy`, is a leafy residential neighborhood home to the Franciscan Monastery (an oasis of peace, built in the 1800`s with beautiful gardens, great place to sit and relax), Catholic University and the largest Basilica in the US. It`s away from the hustle and bustle of the city while only 3 stops on the Metro from Union station, moments from downtown, the mall and monuments. Murals line the Brookland sidewalks, providing an ever evolving backdrop - transforming the busy streets into colorful exhibitions. Tour the ART Walk, one of the largest galleries and exhibitions in DC. Enjoy the wonderful, artsy neighborhood with tons of great dining options!
Getting Around: Buses flank the surrounding areas, and can take you all over the city, but exploring on foot is an easy option as well! The closest metro is the Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro, which is a 9 minute stroll from the home, and follows the Red line. The H8 bus can take you directly to the station in just over 5 minutes. Once you are on the train you are just 2 stops to Union station where you can walk to the Capitol building and down onto the Mall!! Uber taxi`s are plentiful in the area as well, park and ride are also available at Rhode Island Metro station. 0.4 miles from the house. We can provide a parking permit with advanced notice, allowing you to park one vehicle on the street without restriction.

We had a great stay here. Parking in the back was very convenient. We took the metro everywhere and it was a breeze and a very short walk from the VRBO.
Cozy and quiet (just make sure you understand the window blinds)
I loved this property. 1st night I struggled with the window blinds -- I was tired from my work and journey through the 102 heat and I didn't notice they had two settings -- transparent (down) and blocked-light (up)-- so... sleep eluded me due to brightness. But honestly, that's on me -- every amenity and feature was provided.Thank you so much for providing refuge to this weary traveler!

Had a great time in this cozy apartment! Perfect stay for a couple and conveniently located near the red line of the metro. Advertised a washer but didn’t have one, and missed having a larger fridge/freezer, but would be great for those who know they’ll be doing takeout/eating out every meal. Communication with the host was excellent, and we really enjoyed our stay.
Cute spot with everything you need! Perfect place for a long weekend. Close to restaurants and a short walk to the Metro. Eco-responsible practices although some difficulty accessing the app/website to control the heat. A space heater was handy in a pinch. Having a microwave would have been a bit less fussy for reheating food.
We would stay again!
This properly was ideal for us in that we basically needed a place for sleeping and winding down after our daily activities. Preparing meals would be more problematic as there is no microwave but does have a toaster oven. There are numerous food establishments in the neighborhood. We would definitely consider it again in the future.
Beautiful Property... Questionable Neighborhood... Frustrating Management Company
The property is beautiful- perfect for 2 people. The mini kitchen works and the bathroom is perfect. The pictures accurately captured the space!
The description of the neighbor is inaccurate. The neighborhood seems far from the stated description. The neighborhood had 2 Italian pizza places in walking distance and the Franciscan Monastery is 11 blocks away from the property. On the way to the Metro stop you pass a Court/Parole service office. Not a walkable neighborhood as suggested by the description.
The management company was frustrating to work with. It seemed the 3 people who work in the company do not talk to each other. A few days before my arrival I needed to complete a form requiring me to upload my ID. A day before I began my travel I received a text requesting a picture of my credit card before I could receive access to the property. I texted the photo. As I was driving to the property I still didn't get access information. I emailed and received a reply stating that I didn't submit a picture of my credit card. I called and the management company said I didn't submit a picture of my credit card. It was very frustrating to be driving to DC and working with the management company. I'd avoid this management company in the future!
Beautiful place and off-street parking. The neighborhood is not walkable and very few restaurants. The management company was hard to work with and added stress to my vacation.
Really nice purpose built apartment attached to a home in a quiet street. Decor and furnishings are lovely. The location was convenient for me. Only grumble is that you need a USA pay tv package to work the tv, which is not realistic for me as I don't live in USA. And a microwave oven would have been helpful. There is a multi-function mini oven which is sweet but not very practical for quick meal prep in small space. It is close to grocery stores and public transport.
