The Grand Dame of Shaw-Between Shaw & Logan Circle

Summary:
Welcome to the Grand Dame of Shaw. Upon entering the home you will be drawn to relax on the living room couch. Here for business? No worries, the desk in the living room is perfect for the work away from home lifestyle. The chef in you will be inspired by the kitchen, and you can enjoy your meal in the breakfast nook. Each bedroom has a queen bed and lots of storage space to unpack and stay awhile. The rear patio provides a myriad of opportunities for relaxing, meditating or enjoying a libation.

The Space:
Guests have the run of the ground floor apartment. It is fit for six people, with two comfy thick queen sized mattresses. It offers a queen size pull out couch in the living space, full bathroom, full kitchen with a coffee maker and microwave. There is a SmartTV in the living space, so guests can stream from their personal accounts and never miss an episode! The apartment is professionally cleaned before each stay.
Nestled on a quiet one-way street of residential Logan Circle, the Grand Dame of Shaw sits just steps from the historic Naylor Court and Blagden Alley.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire lower level unit. It is not shared.

There is a family living upstairs. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life.

The Neighborhood:
Guests will undoubtedly find themselves nestled in one of the most historic, and sought after neighborhoods in the city! The home is located right on O Street and 11th Street. The area offers a diverse selection of entertainment, dining options, shopping, coffee shops and grocery stores. Whole Foods is a 10 min walk and Trader Joes is 15 minutes on foot. The 14th St dining scene really has become the culinary center for the city with all kinds of diverse cuisines ranging from chic and trendy to the hole-in-wall hidden treasures, French, Asian, Spanish, to Oyster Bars, Diners and much more. You'll want to take advantage of some of our favorite local recommendations.

This downtown neighborhood is in the thick of all the action; walking distance to all the new and hottest DC restaurants and bars but still gives you the privacy and quiet of a residential street. Gourmet supermarkets, world class restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, yoga studios, and everything else you need to practically enjoy your stay are all a few blocks away.

Getting Around:
You could not ask for better access! The apartment is a 14 min drive from National Airport and a 8 min drive from Union Station (Amtrak, and the hub of the major sights). The apartment is 2 blocks away from the Mt. Vernon (Green/Yellow Line) Metro and about a 15 min walk to the Gallery Place (Red Line). 39/45 minute drive to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Planes, trains and automobiles, it is also a short Uber ride anywhere in the city.

We want you to make the most of your stay, so we've partnered with DC’s city tour company See DC Today to help ensure an amazing visit, at the best rate possible! Sit back and relax as the finest, most highly-trained and knowledgeable guides take you through the city, to soak up the surrounding history.

Great place and exceptional service
We had a wonderful stay. There was plenty of room for our family of 4, the property was very clean and nicely kept, kitchen is well stocked. We had a problem with the party right above our apartment one of the nights and even though it was late Saturday night the manager was very quick to respond and was able to fix the problem (called a neighbor and straighten thing out). If I could give 6 stars for the service I would.

Best part of our trip
Great property. Light, bright, clean and better than anticipated. What small concerns we had were addressed immediately and resolved with ease. The weather wasn’t great so we spent more time on site than initially anticipated and it was comfortable and fun.

Worked great
This property worked well for our small group. It wasn’t too far from the mall but still about a 30 minute walk. We discovered was shorter walk to the metro And that made it much easier to get around. There is also a small grocery store about 10 minutes away if you needed snacks. The rooms stayed fairly cool. You had everything we needed for our stay

Nice apartment in upscale neighborhood
This was a nice apartment in an upscale neighborhood close to the main tourist attractions in D.C. It was a little tight with our 4 teens (we have a blended family) but we made it work well. I was thrilled that the apartment included complimentary coffee, filters, sugar, creamer, two different types of tea, as well as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper products and plenty of laundry and dish detergent. The outdoor patio space was nice. When I had a question for our host, Lara, she quickly responded. Check in process was easy. It would have been nice to have had a mirror in the main bedroom, but that may only be an issue for us as we do have 3 teen daughters 😅 Overall, loved this place and would highly recommend!

Perfect Pied A Terre!
The property was neat as a pin and larger than captured in the pictures. The beds were very comfortable, as was the couch (there were snoring issues in our party). The apartment was exquisitely located in a quiet but vibrant neighborhood—do not miss some of the great neighborhood restaurants! Grocery stores are also within easy walking distance and the kitchen is very well equipped. The location was a very easy walking distance from the convention center and the end of the yellow line (great if you land at Reagan airport!). Easy to reach the Mall walking, Georgetown with the Circulator, and the Zoo (red line). A fabulous time! Thank you so much for a great stay!

Well-appointed, great location
Great neighborhood location a short Uber ride from DC monuments and museums. Basement walk-up with everything needed to work or live comfortably during your stay. Both beds provided great, restful sleep, and the host was immediately available when a minor question arose. Many restaurants and amenities within easy walking distance. An overall excellent experience~
