It's clean, there's lots of space, and the design is calming and relaxing—all things that tick boxes for me so I would definitely recommend it!
There's a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, which is cool, but the best thing about this funky Airbnb in Washington DC is the fact that it's got a private deck complete with views of the capitol.

Set in the English basement apartment of a 1900s rowhouse, this Airbnb is pretty cool. With historic features and homey, cozy design, it's definitely something I can get on board with!
The location of this apartment is also a major plus!
Staying here means you'll be just a minute walk from Columbia Heights and Cleveland Park, among other places to wander in the US capital.
Another plus? It's super affordable!

Ok, so I am fully in love with the mid-century style of this Washington DC Airbnb. It's a historic apartment that's been newly renovated.

Super cute!
There are cozy and plush furnishings—plus plenty of color pops—in the living room, with plenty of space for you and a few friends (even a family) to enjoy a trip to Washington DC.
The private bathroom here, as well as the kitchen, has been newly renovated, and both are super sleek and super modern.
The neighborhood has a nice local food scene, but it's still just two stops from the much more central Union Station on the metro from here.
Highly recommended, for sure so book it soon!

Compact and cute, this Washington DC Airbnb is set in a residential property just east of Capitol Hill (it's within walking distance).
I like its calming color palette of grays and creams. I also like the private bedroom (not a studio!) of this English basement property. Everything you need will be here because all the little details have been thought of.
One major plus, mainly if you've got a car, is the free parking on offer here—score!

In the summer, this would be the perfect place to sit out and feel at home (maybe with wine—maybe not) after a busy day sightseeing. You could even cook yourself up dinner or breakfast and eat it out in the plant-filled oasis they've got going on here.
This is possibly my favorite one of the whole bunch, TBH!
