The space
This posh guest suite is a newly renovated 750-square foot first-level in a historic, brick 3-story, 3-unit building in Northeast DC, affectionately called The Indigo. This 2nd-floor 1 bedroom unit is only accessible via stairs—please note there is no elevator.
Our suite is in the peaceful neighborhood of Brookland, just outside the bustling downtown area—perfect for a quieter stay away from the tourist crowds. While not in the heart of the city, you'll find essentials shopping, dining, and grocery options right around the corner within walking distance. Plus, with two local coffee shops nearby, you can enjoy the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans right outside your door!
**Downtown DC with sightseeing and nightlife is a 15-25 minute drive, depending on destination and traffic. (🙏🏽 PLEASE DO NOT BOOK this suite and then rate the location less than a 5 due to its proximity to downtown when this has been fully disclosed upfront.)
Kitchen: Refrigerator/Freezer, microwave, oven/stove, dishwasher, toaster, Keurig coffee maker (a few coffee, tea, hot cocoa K-cups provided), mini smoothie blender, pots/pans/plates/cups, cooking utensils, oils, and a gourmet spice assortment.
