Unique Furnished Housing in DC

To close the loop on our previous post regarding the Marathon des Sables... we left with our favorite runner, Steve just getting underway on day one of his marathons a day for six days (day 5 is technically the length of 2 marathons). Yes, he also was carrying his entire supply of food for the week and his sleeping arrangements on his back. This race is a test of endurance, strategy and sanity.   We appreciate the race organizers who supplied him with rationed water, his fellow tent mates and competitors, who provided emotional support and Cactus the dog who ran with him and helped him navigate a few strategic short-cuts (Steve can elaborate more on this).   We were all excited for him… and worried...and hope...

Today, Sunday, April 7th, is the first day of a six-day ultramarathon our colleague (and somewhat insane friend), Steve Homsey begins. His first step into the sand today in the Sahara Desert will bring a lot of joy and friction as he takes on the Marathon Des Sables.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_des_Sables http://marathondessables.com/en/marathon-des-sables/figures   A few facts of Marathon Des Sables: Everyone must carry their own food and shelter for the entir...

In honor of Thanksgiving, I am grateful for three groups - Our Attache Team, Our Attache clients and my family and friends.Thank you to team Attache - Our team's dedication to improving the lives of our renters and owners is something that I am thankful for everyday.

The debate can be, at times - fierce! New regulations, that are awaiting the Mayor's vote, will create some of the strictest short-term regulations in the country. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/dc-council-gives-final-approval-to-tight-limits-on-airbnb-and-other-homesharing-companies/2018/11/13/04aa1240-e6d3-11e8-bbdb-72fdbf9d4fed_story.html?utm_term=.e96c82c4468f We get asked quite a bit how this will impact Stay Attache, but since we don't rent for less than 30-days, we won't be directly impacted by these regulation...

Attache Corporate Housing rolled out three of our vehicles for this year's 17th Street Festival to support the community and businesses in Dupont Circle. We also encouraged people to submit names for our yet-to-be-named 3 wheeled electric vehicle. Look for a link to submit your name ideas on an upcoming blog post. The 2018 17th Street Festival in Dupont Circle attracts upwards of 15,000 people looking to meet and shop from local business and artists.

It's nearly that hot, festive time of the year again: The 4th of July is next week! There's nothing quite like the 4th of July in DC, and as DC enthusiasts, we're happy to share our favorite places around town to catch the fireworks and enjoy parades. The weather will be hot, so bring plenty of water wherever you go! Here are a few of our suggestions for how to celebrate the 4th:   Begin the day by enjoying local parades around the city, including the Barracks Row/Capitol Hill parade (begins at 8th and I Streets Southeast), the National Independence Day Parade (which travels along part of Constitution Avenue) and the Palisades Parade in NW. 

Yet another reason to love Dupont Circle: a third Philz Coffee in DC arrives there soon. One of the many reasons we love Philz so much is that each cup of coffee they brew is handcrafted one at a time. We appreciate that commitment to tailored attention to detail, which is what we strive for when we help you find a rental property in DC. They're one of our favorite ways to start the day--or take an afternoon coffee break. Have you been to a Philz Coffee before? If not, where do you go for your coffee? Via Prince of Petworth

In the Netherlands, they’ve turned an old office building into student housing inspired by tiny homes, all with a kitchen, a bathroom, sleeping arrangements, and storage. There are examples of this taking place in a few buildings in DC already. While Attache doesn’t currently have any tiny house properties, we’re always looking to stay relevant in the changing housing landscape. Tiny house (or regular house) property owners can reach out to us at

At different Smithsonians, which include some of our Nation’s greatest treasures, you can find robots named “Pepper” helping you through the museums as a sort of "futuristic docent". When you see one of them, intera...
