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.

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.

Perfect location!
We had the best time staying here! Just a short walk to so many great places, and the metro station wasn’t far either if we needed to get across town. The apartment was clean, the owners were lovely, and the whole process was a breeze. They had everything we needed, and some things we didn’t even think of. (Like laundry detergent.) We’re already planning our next visit to DC, and we will definitely book here again.

Great Location
Great location if you like to walk. Approx 1.3 miles to National Mall. A few restaurants within 6 blocks. Beautiful neighborhood. Bed was comfortable and kitchen well equipped and organized. This is a basement unit so some noise from above but tolerable since we were only in apartment at night. Noise from upstairs was mostly in the early am.

We could not have expected a better place to stay while visiting D.C. This unit is lovely, upgraded, and carefully furnished. It is also a pretty quiet place for the city and perfectly located-- a few blocks to transportation a short walk to local markets, eateries, and parks. I have stayed at many rentals before and this one wins the prize for the best ever!

My husband and I loved staying at your Capitol Hill apartment! Our days were busy walking around to see the sights, in the heat, in the noise. This apartment was a retreat from it all - we were both astonished at how quiet the neighborhood was. Everything we could've wanted was provided, the location was outstanding, and the art - the art! So much interesting art made this apartment all the more special. Thank you again for a wonderful stay - Ashley & John

Awesome location and beautiful space
It was very fun to stay in a well equipped one-bedroom ground level condo in a Capitol Hill Brownstone. Everything was easy to get to from there, and there were restaurants, and corner stores within a relatively easy walk. Property manager and owner are terrific, and offered useful alternatives when our arrival was delayed.
