About this property

Stylish Shaw Sanctuary + Workspace - Walk to Nightlife!

On a tranquil street yet walking distance to restaurants, bars and all the culture of DC, this apartment provides you the perfect escape during your stay in the nation's capital!

Enjoy a king sized bed and a separate living area with pull out queen couch, so you can comfortably accommodate 4 people.

In the Shaw / Howard University neighborhood, this is just two blocks from the (Green) Metro and a Cap Bikeshare. Ideal for travelers seeking comfort and convenience. No parties though please!

This apartment has a 43" TV in both rooms (separated by sliding glass doors), a full kitchen w/ stove, oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, Keurig and kettle, as well as a full bathroom with a tub and shower combo.

You'll find a desk with office chair that, along with fast WiFi, makes for a great remote work setup!

You'll love the attention to detail with umbrellas, tote bags and other essentials you can borrow or use spread throughout the place including board games and snacks waiting for you after your journey here!

Washer and Dryer is available for 3 night or more stays for free, or for 1-2 night stays for a $20 fee.

Our goal is to make this feel like your home so you can relax, work, cook and enjoy!

You have full, exclusive access to the apartment with your own key code!

You control the temperature with your own in-unit HVAC system so whether you like it cooler or warmer, you can customize to your comfortability!

An air purifier and dehumidifier quietly run to keep the air fresh for you, though you can turn it off during your stay if the low sound bothers you as well.

Unfortunately, there is no dedicated parking and no visitor permits available for our block.

Street parking is limited (2-hour restrictions during daytime), so for multi-day stays we recommend using one of several nearby public garages within a 5–15 minute walk.

Nearby Parking Garages:

North End Shaw Garage – 2112 8th St NW (5–7 min walk)
Usually the most affordable nearby option.

701 8th St NW Garage (6–8 min walk)
Reliable daily & overnight parking.

815 8th St NW / other 8th St garages (7–10 min walk)
Availability varies — often listed on SpotHero.

CityCenterDC Garage – 9th & I St NW (10–15 min walk or short ride)
Large, secure garage with day and overnight rates.

Tip: You can often get cheaper rates by reserving through SpotHero or ParkWhiz.
