The Neighborhood:
airbnb.com/locations/washington-dc/capitol-hill

Hill East is a great residential neighborhood adjacent to Capitol Hill. It is primarily residential, but just far enough from downtown that there is space for plenty of services, including full-sized supermarkets, parks, and playgrounds. It is very walkable and sufficiently close to everything that you won’t feel too far out in the suburbs. Eastern Market and Lincoln Park are conveniently located for your children to play, or to get some people-watching in.

While there are some friendly neighborhood bars and restaurants in Hill East, you’ll find many more options right in Capitol Hill on 8th Street, or the nearby lively H Street Corridor. You can quickly get to those parts of town if you want; it is a longish walk, or you can simply take the METRO that is only two blocks away. Parking is usually easy to come by. If you're looking for my personal recommendations of places to go or things to see, please ask me!

Perhaps the biggest advantage of Hill East (sometimes also called Barney Circle) is the strong sense of community. It is the sort of place where residents know each other by name, and help one another with yard work.

Good location, not great accommodations
The location was very well described, about a block and half to the Metro station, which was very convenient. The parking area inside the backyard was very helpful, as the street in front of the house was always full. The drying racks for clothing were greatly appreciated, as we have several pieces of clothing that can't be dried! We were disappointed in the quality of the furniture and linens. The master bed was very soft and uncomfortable with a big dip in the middle, and the "bed spread" looked to be about 20 years old. The living room furniture wasn't very comfortable either, which was a bummer for us. After spending the days walking around DC, it was disappointing to not have a comfy couch to lounge on in the evenings. There were no extra towels, just the bare minimum for what we needed. It would have been nice to have an extra bath towel and a couple kitchen towels. Lastly, there were only 4 adult forks. There were 5 of us, so we couldn't even eat one meal with everyone using forks. There were no dish washer tablets or detergent, so we had to hand wash all of our dishes. Overall, the house was good, it was just the comforts that were missing to make it a great place.

Exploring Washington DC
This property was great for us. Communication with the owner is very professional and quick to respond. The home was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay and more. There’s a secure parking spot for one car behind the house and it’s off the street, we really appreciated that. There’s also a small porch seating area and we enjoyed sitting there in the evening to relax and plan our next day. Getting to the US Capital and Mall area was about a 35 minute walk for us, and we always felt safe walking there and back. There’s a bus called the Circulator that makes and stop at 19th St and East Capital St that will only cost you $1 to ride. If your comfortable navigating the Metro, that’s only a few blocks away too. This property was perfect for us.

Perfect Location
My husband and I loved the location, and the home. It is safe, very welcoming and my favorite part was the back yard with the covered back porch. The location is an 8 minute walk to the metro and the hosts are so easy to work with. The next time we are in DC we will stay here again.

Wonderful stay close to Metro
My husband and I along with our two teenagers stayed here for 4 nights at the end of a two week East Coast vacation and it was a fantastic way to end our trip. It was so nice to stay in a place with three bedrooms and I particularly loved having a king bed again. It was also nice having one and a half baths to use too! The kitchen has all the dishes and utensils to cook with but there wasn't much communal food there, such as spray oil or anything. Just a heads up that you will need to buy all your ingredients. Trader Joe's is super close and has an underground garage that validates. Speaking of close, the Metro was super convenient and I loved being able to hop on any of the trains to get to the downtown. Going to all the different Smithsonian Museums, the various monuments and the three branches of our government was super interesting. A little warning about this place. The stairs to the second floor are steep so if you have limited mobility or stairs are an issue you should take that under consideration. It wasn't an issue for us but I do know some people these stairs would be difficult. I would absolutely stay here again!

Convenient, clean, perfect for families!
This is the second time we have stayed in this property and it's just perfect for us. It's very convenient to the metro as well as restaurants and parks. Also very well set up up for families with toys and books for the kids and plenty of space for everyone. We have family in DC and plan to stay here every time we come to visit. It fits our needs perfectly.

Wonderful weekend in DC
What a wonderful HOMEbase from which to explore DC. I emphasize home because it is truly a home with a private backyard, comfortable sleeping for 3 friends or a family with kids, walking distance(2-4 blocks) to restaurants and shops and the metro, and only 15-20 mins to the mall! What more could you ask for?
