We can’t speak highly enough about our stay at this wonderful apartment. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed. Lovely owners, so nice and helpful. We will stay here again 100%. If you want to see the capital and all the museums this is an ideal location.

Cozy and Convenient!

This property is ideally located for a short and pleasant walk to Union Station to catch the Metro, or a nice walk to the US Capitol, Supreme Court, and Library of Congress. Grocery and dinning options also within walking distance. Nice, clean, and cozy place to stay, cook a meal, rest your feet, and recharge. Hosts were helpful and kind.

Home Away from Home

Ellen was awesome to deal with. We had a ton of communication back and forth. She was always on the ball. We love the place. It's truly like a home away from home. It was a very comfortable stay for my two sons (12&9), wife and I. We loved the neighborhood. It is quiet and friendly. Even coming back late at night, we didn't worry. Parking can be a challenge, but we were in a big Nissan Titan truck, and even then, it wasn't that bad. Nearly everything is within 5-15 min walk or drive. All in all, a wonderful stay. We look forward to coming back in the winter, when the heat index isn't 110 degrees! Will definitely stay with Ellen and Bill!

Our stay in downtown Washington D.C. was a true delight. Our hosts were gracious and responsive to our questions. They had great suggestions for places to shop and dine. Their knowledge of the area and their historical knowledge of the locations around DC was a nice bonus. Ellen and Bill were a real delight to talk with.The apartment had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. It has a fully equipped kitchen and bath. We enjoyed coffee in the little breakfast nook in the mornings and there was plenty of room to spread out and relax after full days. This was a very comfortable home away from home. We love that the apartment is centrally located within easy reach of all the sights up and down the National Mall. Grocery stores are only a three block walk away. We walked to the Library of Congress, National Museum and National Archives, and on some days picked up e-bikes within two or three blocks of the apartment for quicker treks down the Mall. The neighborhood is very nice, it's cozy and the people were open and friendly. The restauranteurs and staff at the museums and galleries were genuinely happy to host us. D.C. in the Fall was quiet and easy to navigate. Even taking e-bikes on city streets we felt comfortable, relaxed and safe. The motorists were careful to look out for pedestrians and people on bikes.Our hosts, the apartment, and the location have our full recommendation. We are looking forward to booking it again in the future.

fragrance free paradise

We came for the People's March in DC. Finding a safe harbor is so difficult in the calmest of times and my hosts went out of their way to make sure their rental was fragrance free, comfy and calming all around. They even had gluten free fresh baked goods waiting for us on the counter when we arrived. Such kindness will stay with me in a time when kindness means everything. The apartment was clean and comfy and a beautiful respite for our stay in a chaotic time in DC.

An Ideal Stay

My family and I had such a good time staying in this perfect Capital Hill apartment. We are a family of four who came to DC for my son’s 11th birthday and it was just what we were looking for. We especially loved being close enough to walk most everywhere we went. My kids are already asking when we can go back!

Quaint Apartment & Great Location

Perfect apartment for visiting our nation's capitol! Only a 15 minute walk to Union Station to catch the Metro. We had a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 adult children. Pretty tight quarters if you plan on staying in the apartment for long periods of time. We were usually out early and came back late so no problem for us. The apartment had a nice full kitchen, W/D, and the hosts thought of almost anything you might need and responded quickly.

So Much to See and Do!

What a wonderful vacation! Our apartment had plenty of room for three adults and was exceptionally clean. Ellen and Bill provided a comprehensive list of things to do, where to go and how to get there. Stanton Park is a beautiful neighborhood and within walking distance of Union Station. It’s the perfect location for a quick trip to the market or for an extensive day of touring the monuments, the White House or Capitol grounds. This was by far one of the best family vacations I’ve ever taken and I highly recommend Ellen and Bill as your hosts. Thank you for your hospitality.

Delightful stay in DC

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy and comfortable apartment. The location on a quiet street just blocks away from restaurants and shopping was perfect. It is also near a beautiful little park where we enjoyed relaxing and watching dogs at play. It was immaculately clean and the kitchen was stocked with all we needed - especially coffee pods and a Keurig for our morning eye opener! The host was very helpful and communicative - she gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations. We also loved the warm decor, along with the many books lining the bookshelves and games available to play. This was the perfect place for us to relax and recharge while visiting the many attractions in DC.

excellent family vacation (1week)

We stayed for the whole week as family, two boys 10 and 13 old. All in all I can say nothing less that previous reviewers - this apartment and our stay matched (if not even exceeded) our already high expectations. Boys loved the whole stay. Ellen is very kind and helpful a communicates on line within a single hours. Of course location is excellent too, very nice street, supermarket stores within a few minutes walk allow to cook if needed in well equipped kitchen, wash and dry machine of family like ours was great to have as well,... I would wish to have reason to come back one day to D.C, then would definitely wish to stay again at this place. Libor

Location is absolutely brilliant - a quiet residential street, but 10-15 minutes walk to the Metro, and 30 minutes or so to absolutely anything. The flat was perfect for us as a base. The hosts have really thought of anything you could need - coffee, dishwasher tablets etc - and the kitchen was really well equipped. You could hardly do better.
