Welcome to the vibrant Bloomingdale neighborhood in DC! This area is brimming with history, charm, and modern appeal, making it a favorite among professionals, families, and longtime residents alike. You'll love being just steps away from DC's best neighborhood bar, The Pub & The People, some of the city's best gourmet coffee shops, and a variety of trendy restaurants to suit every taste.

Stephen’s place was super clean and organized, with modern touches and great amenities. Stephen went above and beyond with his communication to ensure we had everything we needed and were comfortable. The place is perfect for a weekend getaway in DC with a good location only 20 minutes to The Mall / downtown area via car. The neighborhood was cute and quiet. Note the apartment is in the basement and parking is an extra fee (but not expensive and taken care of easily by Stephen). Would definitely stay again and highly recommend the host!
