One of the greatest luxuries of DC: GREAT public transportation! The Columbia Heights Metro stop is a short 5 minute walk. There are also plenty scooters, bikes, and Uber/Lyft (they are FAST so make sure to be ready when you order it).

Great stay!
This was a great spot for our family trip- clean, comfortable, stocked, in a great location (10 min. walk to train or bus), great restaurants in walking distance. We had no problem finding street parking. Hosts responsive. A very comfortable spot to stay after busy days in DC. All in all, no complaints at all!

Amazing experience. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. The “cellar ” was beautiful and very cozy. Location was great. Only a 10 minute walk to the metro.

Very nice. Appears newly remodeled.
Very nice place. It’s the whole basement unit. Yes we could hear the big dog running around upstairs, but it was not a nuisance. Seemed recently remodeled. Spotlessly clean. Fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and laundry. Beds comfortable and living room has comfortable seating for 4 adults. Nice bathroom and shower. Parking is kind of a drag. Unit comes with parking pass for street parking but we had to move the car at 9:30am. Coulda used more towels but laundry is available. Overall highly recommend.

Comfy home in quiet neighborhood
My (adult) son and I stayed for 5 nights in this gorgeous home. The check-in process was seamless and communication from the host was perfect. We found the apartment to be spotlessly clean and the neighborhood was quite and safe. We were able to find street parking without any trouble, but be sure to note the signs for street sweeping. We found it most convenient to leave our vehocle parked and utilize ride sharing services for getting around. The beds were quite comfortable and the kitchen was well supplied with pans, dishes, and utensils. We also appreciated the generous supply of k-cups for our morning coffee. I especially appreciated NOT having a long list of chores at check-out! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Weeklong stay
What a great place to stay. Two bedrooms, a nice bathroom, laundry facility on site, and a spacious kitchen/living room area. Everything was clean and tidy upon arrival with everything you need for a stay. Washing machine even had pre-loaded detergent, and the bathroom had handy dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Street parking was only tricky on the one day we came back to the home at a fairly late hour-but we were still able to find parking close by. Hosts were very responsive to messages and the whole vibe of the place was excellent. Highly recommend this place. Hmm, people always want to know what can be improved upon. I suppose the pillows were too fluffy for my bad neck (no worries as I had my own because I am always prepared). Yhe biggest travesty of all was that I didnt get to meet the Senior Hostess-being one Great Dane named Calli. Otherwise I will gladly recommend this home to all. rrecommendtthishhome.homestays.d

Gem Uncovered
Our family was deciding between a hotel closer to downtown or this apartment. We are so glad we chose this place! Staying in the neighborhoods gives a better sense of the city. The “Cellar” is located in a great neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops within a short walk. We felt very safe walking around. Sightseeing locations were just a short drive away. The apartment itself is comfortable with a great living/kitchen area to relax and comfy beds to rest up for the next day. There is also a cute patio to sit and relax after a long sightseeing day. The owners are very responsive and make it easy to check in and out. We would definitely stay here again if back to DC.

Great stay!
The Stellar Cellar was clean, spacious, comfortable and conveniently located. The shower is excellent! And it was very convenient to be able to wash and dry our clothes before returning home. The owners were super responsive. I would definitely recommend and would come back again next time!
