This property is located in downtown Washington, DC on a residential tree-lined street. It is 2 stops on the Metro from all the museums, monuments, restaurants. and other DC cultural events and buildings (including the convention center). And, the space for rent itself is spectacular--it has 18' ceilings, skylights, and 2,500 sq. feet of living space on the second floor alone. Downstairs is always interesting too, as the owner/artist is often working on neon large-scale public art pieces in his ground floor studio!

Further details for this vacation house rental in Downtown - Washington DC, Washington DC

Located in the historic Shaw neighborhood on R St. NW, the Firehouse is just a short walk away from many amenities. DC restaurants and nightlife are close by of the 14th Street and U Street corridors. Two grocery stores are within walking distance, including a Giant Grocery on 9th and a Whole Foods six blocks away on P Street. Public transportation is easily accessible, as the Shaw/Howard Green Line Metro stop and numerous Metrobus stops are about a block away, making commuting from the firehouse a breeze. If you own a car, nearby parking is plentiful-- there are multiple parking garages as well as free on-street parking directly across from the firehouse.

For parties of 2-3 people, except for the bedroom and the private bathroom, the rest of the space (kitchen, living room, and dinning room) is shared with the owner, a prominent local light sculptor, on the second floor. On the first floor of the firehouse is his studio, so he will be in and out briefly of the upstairs during the day. The bedroom itself is 17.5 feet by 12 feet with 18-foot ceilings and sleeps 2-3 people comfortably between the queen sized bed and sleeper sofa/futon. Rent for this room and the private bathroom is $135 a night with a two-night minimum.

For parties of 4-6 people, there is the option of renting out the entire upstairs of the firehouse for $475 a night. This gives you access to two bedrooms with queen beds (and an additional sleeper sofa/futon in one room), a futon in the living room, and 2500 square feet of living space. The owner will be in and out briefly during the day since the downstairs is his working studio, but after 6pm you will have the entire space to yourself. If interested, send us an email or call the number below and specify if you are interested in the rooms for 2-3 or 4-6 people and which dates you would like to stay. Since this space is also rented for parties, if you intend to have additional guests over while you are a guest with us, please let us know ahead of time and we can work out an arrangement. Please keep in mind that there is an additional cleaning fee of $50 for guests staying 3 nights or more. We look forward to your stay!!

Unique and fantastic

Golf Ball Pusher Seal Beach, CA
Review Submitted: April 28, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
It's more than a home. It's an art gallery, a workshop, an oasis. Craig was a great host. As advertised, is no more than a two minute walk to the Metro. Near historic Shaw/U Street the neighborhood has undergone a great transformation. Plenty of friendly neighborhood restaurants and bars to choose from or a very nice Whole Foods market if you wish to do your own thing. Perfect for parents/friends visiting students at the university. It's a authentic firehouse, must be able to climb stairs.
