2 Bedroom by Zoo, Metro, Park and Embassies in Forest Hills – Best Location Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into 2 Bedroom by Zoo, Metro, Park and Embassies in Forest Hills – Best Location, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This three-star place in Washington DC’s Forest Hills neighborhood doesn’t try to be fancy, but it absolutely nails what matters most: location, location, location. The apartment sits right in the sweet spot where you can actually walk to the National Zoo, hop on the Metro without breaking a sweat, and you’re surrounded by all these embassies that give the area this interesting international vibe.

The Neighborhood Advantage

You know what I love about Forest Hills? It feels like a real DC neighborhood, not some touristy bubble. The tree-lined streets are gorgeous — I mean, there’s a reason they call it Forest Hills — and you’ve got Rock Creek Park practically at your doorstep. The Metro station is maybe a 10-minute walk, which honestly beats most places in the city where you’re either right on top of the noise or hiking forever to catch a train. Plus, being near all these embassies means the area stays pretty safe and well-maintained, if you know what I mean.

The Space Itself

The two-bedroom setup works really well for couples or small groups — actually, I noticed the feedback mentioned couples particularly love this spot, and I can see why. Having that extra room means you’re not living on top of each other, and there’s enough space to spread out after long days of sightseeing. The kitchen is functional (nothing fancy, but you can definitely cook a decent meal), which saves you from eating out every single night in DC — trust me, your wallet will thank you.

Getting Around

Here’s where this place really shines — the connectivity is just fantastic. You can walk to the Zoo in about 15 minutes, which is perfect for those early morning visits before the crowds hit. The Red Line Metro gets you downtown in maybe 20 minutes, and honestly, that’s better than a lot of hotels that charge twice as much. I’ve stayed in places right in the heart of DC where getting anywhere took forever because of traffic, but from Forest Hills, you sort of skip all that chaos.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to wow you with marble lobbies or room service, but what it does, it does really well. The location feedback speaks for itself — recent guests consistently rate it highly, and that 9 out of 10 rating didn’t come from nowhere. It’s one of those places where you realize that being in the right neighborhood, with easy access to everything DC has to offer, beats having a fancy address but spending half your vacation stuck in traffic or crowded tourist areas. For the price point and that unbeatable Forest Hills location, it just makes sense.

  Great Location, super friendly host!

• Tina from Germany (8/10)

  Great location in a great neighborhood. Easy access to metro to get to city center. Restaurants and supermarkets also in walking distance.
  The apartment was perfect for our stay. Sous Terrain but with access to a garden. Host offered to light a fire for us in the garden in the evening which we did not take him up on since we were to tired from our sightseeing tours. I regret that now! It would have been lovely.
  We didn’t cook but that would easily be possible. Loved the big fridge-freezer unit.
  Bathroom is a mite small but clean and serviceable. Worked fine for us.
  Only thing to watch out for is the rug in the livingroom. Looks great but leaves sisal on anything fabric that it comes into contact with 😅
  We would always be happy to stay here again!!!
