DC STR/VRL Exemption: Primary Residence & 31 Day Min En Suite Petite is a cozy oasis on the first floor of a recently renovated, three-level townhome in SW DC. Tucked in the corner of the courtyard, the oversized window boasts the best garden views around! Located next to the secured keypad entry, this key-entry bedroom and attached bath is perfect for the solo-traveling student, career climber, adventure seeker, and social butterfly alike. In three words En Suite Petite is nothing short of tiny but mighty. Equipped with everything you could want in a private room within a small footprint, The Mini En Suite gives you maximum creature comforts without breaking the budget. The front door entry to the townhome is virtually private (since I come and go through the garage) and is the only bedroom on the first floor. The interior locks and direct access to the attached Jack and Jill bathroom also gives you maximum privacy. BEDROOM The room is equipped with a flat screen TV, loaded with cable, DVR, and Roku. On the opposite end of the guestroom is a slim, vertical workspace with plenty of space for you laptop and handheld devices. There is also a variety of books on top of the workspace for when you just want to unwind. Considering the room size the closet next to the workspace is a large closet and is equipped with hanging shelves, a clothes hamper, fire extinguisher, iron and ironing board, and large baskets for all of you plush linens and luxury bedding. Speaking of which, the bed is equipped with a 13" hybrid mattress, duvet set, and 1000 TC bed sheets so you can truly relax.

I can interact with guests as much or as little as preferred. Congress Heights is an up-and-coming SW DC neighborhood, near Joint Base Anacostia Boiling (3 Blocks), and the two major highways, I-295 (Two Blocks) & I-495 (.25 mi.). Major projects planned for redevelopment include the St. Elizabeths West Campus, the area surrounding the Congress Heights Metro station and Camp Simms. Metro Stations in NW Washington DC Blue Line - Eastern Market, Potomac Avenue, Stadium-Armory and Benning Road Green Line- Navy Yard-Ballpark, Anacostia and Congress Heights Southwest DC truly has something to offer for everyone. The Wharf is truly the must-see attraction in Southwest, the newly developed waterfront community that is home to the renowned Fish Market (which has awesome seafood), hotels, retail, and restaurants for whatever you're in mood for. Into more artsy stuff? There's The Anthem/Pearl Street Warehouse, The SW Art Club, and St. Dominic Catholic Church. For the perfect luxury getaway, there's the glass enclosed Entertainment Cruise or the Spa at Mandarin Hotel. I haven't experienced this spa yet but I have experienced the one at the Gaylord Resort (10 min from Congress Heights) and although it's pricey it is well worth it! I almost left out outdoor activities. One of the biggest surprises moving to DC is the amount of greenery around, especially in SW. I think dc.gov says something like DC has more parks nationally per capita than anywhere in the US, so I won't attempt to list them all here, but if you're looking for local parks, dog park, bike trials, and national parks, you don't have to go far. Although I travel primarily by car there's a lot of options in Congress Heights. Capital Bikeshare - 3 blocks Congress Heights Metro Station - 1.7 mi. Nearby Bus Line - .2 mi. Also, if you prefer car sharing here are some options to try. Zip Car Car2Go Lyft Uber Via By the way, if you choose to drive try out these parking apps to make you trip more enjoyable and affordable. ParkWhiz GoDCGo SpotHero Or park at Congress Heights Metro parking lot for just dollars per day and take the subway to your destination. Although super comfortable and carefully decorated, this room really is for a solo traveler. Unfortunately, there is only enough room for one person and no additional guests.
