This charming apartment is the entire 3rd floor of an historic row house in the dynamic neighborhood of Columbia Heights.
The apartment is separate and private with a door at the bottom of the stairs, but the entry is through the main house where I live. You may come and go as you please. I'm a writer & work at home.
I have a dog and two cats (and often foster kittens) in the main house. The animals never go into the apartment. Your well-trained dog or cat is welcome with a pet-cleaning fee of $50.00 per stay.

Cozy top floor in a beautiful nabe.
Victoria enriched our trip to DC by recommending places and providing info. We got the insider tips. Her place is clean and well appointed. She had everything we needed and thought of everything. It was a great place to stay in DC. Train is on the corner, as is a full shopping center and chain and ethnic restaurants.

So happy with our stay here!! :)
Our son got a job in DC and we needed a place to stay to help him transition into a Columbia Heights apartment. Victoria's place was PERFECT.... or should I say PURRRRFECT? She has some lovely pets that will also greet you, but the third floor is all yours (pet-free!). We hope to stay again very soon - when we visit our son. THANK YOU VICTORIA.

Perfect!
Our family found this rental to be perfect! From the airport, it was easy and inexpensive to take the Metro to the home. Everything you need is conveniently located. It’s a very short walk to the Metro, Target, CVS, grocery store, fast food and sit down restaurants! The rental was also very clean and comfortable. Victoria was extremely accommodating. We flew out late, and she held our bags for the day. She gave us great advice on getting around...as well as local places to go. We made so many great memories and will be back for sure in Victoria’s perfect home. 💕

Perfect location in DC
This was my first time using VRBO and I was so pleased with the experience. Victoria was such an accommodating host and her accomidations are so perfect. The apartment is spotless and extremely comfortable. The location is ideal, easy to get to and from the airport from the metro (just a half block from the metro stop) as well as all the Mall and Museums. The neighborhood is so full of great food options and Victoria has lots of info for the first time visitor
