    The apartment is in a great location close to Union Station on a very quiet street. You can easily walk to a few area restaurants and the Capitol is close by.

    This budget accommodation is ideally located near Union Station and the Capitol. Both are within walking distance. A convenience store and a Chinese Takeaway are nearby. Bus 80 is basically outside the door. The flat is very safe, clean, and...

Dr. Koura Gibson
An English Gem is the English Basement Apartment of my Victorian home located in historic Bloomingdale, NW, DC, one of the most sought after communities in the area. The homes in this neighborhood are gorgeous and stately Victorians. The grandeur of the Victorian age is personified in the Victorian homes of Bloomingdale. I offer my home to budget travelers visiting our Nation's Capital. The unit can comfortably sleep five persons. My home is a clean, cheap, and safe place to sleep and recharge in DC. It's humble and doable for a few nights, minimal on purpose. There's a kitchen per your use.
I am Dr. Koura Gibson, a linguist, a teacher of French and Spanish, and a USA Track & Field master athlete. I run hurdles and triple jump, holding more than 7 national championship titles. I am an Africanist, trained @Howard University's African Studies and Research Department. I also curate and sell African Art @galleri Sowei, my home gallery. I love traveling to far and fascinating places around the world. I am honored to host you at my home in DC. I welcome all guests of many nations and nationalities.
S Street, NW is located on a tree-lined block in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in NW. It's a neighborhood of only about 12 square blocks with many hidden treasures: unassuming dive bars, surprise parks and award-winning restaurants. Bloomingdale is sandwhiched between the neighborhoods of Shaw and Eckington. It is on the border of the District’s northwest quadrant, stretching from Second Street NW to North Capitol, bordered by Florida Avenue NW to the south and Bryant and Channing places NW to the north.
