Enjoy a classic Capitol Hill experience just 5 blocks from the seat of power.

OUR CALENDAR IS ACCURATE, IF THE SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO BOOK, THOSE DATES ARE AVAILABLE.

This elegant, historic (circa 1890) brick townhouse is located on a lovely tree-lined street in the center of Capitol Hill within walking distance of the U.S. Capitol, Eastern Market and Union Station. It is the perfect apartment for a discerning single, couple or travel companions visiting our Nation’s Capital. This lovely lower level apartment is newly and very tastefully refurbished with a new modern kitchen and bath, hardwood floors throughout, all new furniture, and striking original artwork. The spacious 750sf of living space is notable for its high ceilings and exposed brick wall.

This sleek urban 1BR apartment is just 5 blocks from the US Capitol grounds. This is a quintessential Capitol Hill brownstone on a quiet, beautiful tree lined street. You will find this to be the perfect Washington location whether you are in DC for business on The Hill, visiting family or tourism.


AMENITIES:
• Accommodates 2 people (queen bed; Convertible queen sofa);
• Keyless entry;
• Stocked kitchen for dining and meal preparation;
• Granite kitchen counters and island with bar stools;
• Strong WIFI for work or research;
• AC units and baseboard heating so you are in control of your climate;
• 42 inch Plasma TV for your entertainment;
• Stacking washer/dryer in the apartment.

LOCATION:
Capitol Hill radiates a heady sense of geo-political significance with a small town feel. You're just a few blocks away from landmarks like the Supreme Court, U.S. Capitol, Senate and House Office Buildings, and the Library of Congress. At the same time, Hill locals have managed to instill a sense of "neighborhood." It's easy to see why the area's residents cherish their brownstones and tree-lined streets. You'll be able to run most errands on foot, not to mention walking to a variety of restaurants and cafes around Eastern Market and Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Avenues. You'll be near the 11 Smithsonian Museums along our National Mall including the Air and Space Museum, the National Gallery of Art, Sackler and Freer Galleries of African and Asian Art respectively, National Museum of American History, the National Portrait Gallery & American Art Gallery and the list goes on!

TRANSPORTATION:
Leave your car at home, having a car in DC is more a liability than a convenience! Nearby Union Station is a transportation hub for not only Washington DC, but also for the mid-Atlantic region. Union Station is also home to Washington’s Metro Red Line, Metro and Circulator buses, tour operators, and rental cars and bikes. Two train lines, AMTRAK and local MARC trains, also run out of the train station.
If you are driving to DC and need parking, we can also order you a street parking permit. Please check with us first on this, we will need the car make, model, and the plate state & number.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this apartment's great location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Supreme Court of the United States. Laundry facilities are available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the apartment.

Great week of vacation

Bobby and JoAnn are fantastic. This place is as advertised. The location is great. Easy walking to the Mall and its tourist attractions. We visited a local market for essentials and walked to Whole Foods for groceries using the supplied bags. Lots of restaurants in the area. Definitely don’t need a car if you are staying in town. Thanks!

Perfect for the two of us. A great location behind the capital, but we spent a lot of time in Georgetown which was a long way away. Neighborhood has a diner down the street for breakfast and a couple of markets really close by.

Great spot in Capitol Hill

This was a great spot to stay - the property was clean, everything worked wonderfully, and the hosts/property manager was excellent. All questions answered right away! There are several places within walking distance which should be on anyone's to-go-to DC list, but this property was still nice and quiet.

Cozy, quaint and beautiful spot on Capitol Hill

This unit is exactly as advertised! We absolutely loved our stay and can't wait to come back. The location is incredible, and the neighborhood itself is darling. The check-in process was very easy and so was obtaining a week-long parking pass. Charlotte is an excellent host and the unit is beautifully decorated and has great amenities. We hope to come back next year and hopefully stay here again!

Great Location, But Comfort and Cleanliness Disappointing

We chose this property based on its description, photos, previous reviews, and location close to the Capitol Building. It was convenient for sightseeing and is within walking distance of the Metro Rail and Bus routes. It has the usual appliances and amenities, including cable TV and good WiFi. The neighborhood is old brownstone buildings and very quiet, which was a plus. On the downside, the couch was uncomfortable (felt like we were sitting in a hole), as was the chair located in the living room. Similarly, the bed had dips on both sides, which was either due to the age/condition of the mattress topper, or the mattress. The topper appeared slightly soiled (body oils) and possibly not routinely cleaned. When you have been on your feet all day walking, you want to relax at the end of the day, so those issues were very disappointing. We intended to wash our clothes at the end of our trip, but decided against that after discovering that the washing machine was not clean (i.e., areas of dirt and hair accumulated over time), which caused us to question the otherwise "clean" appearance of the apartment interior. The bedroom heater worked well, but the heaters located in the front room area put out little heat. We shared our concerns with the property manager. We anticipate that those comments will be communicated to the owner and addressed for the benefit of future tenants.

Great time in DC

This Capitol Hill apartment was exactly as advertised. Comfortable, well appointed, and a great location to use as a home base when sightseeing in our nation’s capitol. The kitchen was well equipped and made it easy for us to have breakfast in, pack lunches and even cook at home a couple of nights. The living room area was great for relaxing after long days. Bathroom was spacious, big towels, lots of hot water and good water pressure. Being able to do a load of laundry helped as we got soaked a couple of days in the rain. The bed was comfortable, plenty of pillows. Closet had lots of hangers and plenty of places to store clothing for our week’s stay. Walking distance to corner store, restaurants, etc. really didn’t miss having a car. Was able to get a Whole Foods delivery for the week. Cherry blossoms beautiful. It is wonderful to have a place to stay that you look forward to coming back to at the end of the day!

AMAZING!

This was an absolutely amazing apartment located a few blocks behind the Supreme Court and Capital. We looked forward to returning every evening after a long day exploring DC on our feet. Everything was exactly as written, yet more. It’s places and owners like these that keep me coming back to VRBO. I’d give this place 10 stars if I could.
