In town for a grueling week-long conference and coming home to this sweet little place was a delight. I visited this time with a co-attendee and her SO, but hope to rent this place again with family. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Apartment was in great location and very clean and comfortable. Kids had fun with all the games available and the trundle bed. Very affordable and worth the stay. Would definitely book again when in DC.
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was well stocked and is in a great location. Metro station was close by as are restaurants and groceries. The kitchen is well stocked for most any meal we cooked. Very friendly hosts that responded quick to messages.
Had a great stay at this rental. The unit is cozy and had everything we needed. The location is great as it is very near Eastern Market and the Metro. The hosts were very helpful. I would definitely stay here again when visiting DC.
Great location. Just blocks from the subway and only a few stops from all the capital area attractions. The Capital Hill row houses have so much personality. One of the best stocked rentals I’ve stayed in.
This property is in a quiet neighborhood and is a about a 5 minute walk to the metro station, several restaurants, coffee stops and stores as well as a Trader Joes. This made it easy to pick up anything we needed! The property was well stocked and lovely. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!
We had a fantastic stay in DC. Robert's place was great, perfect for a family of 4. Easy walk to the Metro and ride shares had no problem getting to us.Robert was a good communicator and had some helpful advice on our time exploring a wonderful city. Looking forward to ouir next trip!
We enjoyed our stay for three nights to visit the monuments and museums. The apartment was very nice and had everything we needed and more. The metro was a nice one-half mile walk and restaurants were in walking distance. We would stay here again. Thanks to the host. Very nice and accommodating.
Perfect location! Close to some amazing restaurants and public transportation. Loved all of the little extras, from board games to toiletries, they’ve got you covered. Super clean and the management was great to work with. We had an awesome trip and hope to return again one day, so much to do in D.C.!
The location was close to the capital and metro station. We was able to walk to most sites and catch the bus for the others. I enjoyed our stay even though I got confused on date and wasn't out by 11. I highly recommend this place!
Excellent property, everything you need is there in the apartment. Metro station near by and easy to travel to all tourist attractions. Local supermarket, tavern (serves food) and Bulldog bagels 5 mins walk away for breakfast.
Great location and lovely Vrbo and unit. The accommodations are great there is everything needed in the unit. It is super close to the metro which is great for getting around. More of a residential area so it was quiet and safe. The hosts were communicative when need be. Thank you so much for the great experience!
We enjoyed our stay. The rental was very clean and had everything we needed. We were so happy to have the Keurig coffee supplied. Plenty of towels and a comfortable bed. Location was perfect. Easy walk to Metro and to Capital and destinations. We would highly recommend this property and will reserve a stay for our next trip to DC.
The unit is well furnished and comfortable. We are familiar with DC and are walkers and found it convenient to the metro at Eastern Market and to the Capitol/LOC area. Good guide books are available in the unit and host has prepared a notebook of valuable information.
I would stay here again.
What a wonderful stay! This two bedroom, updated basement has everything you could possibly need! The owner thought of everything! It was so clean and well kept. The owner was incredibly helpful and responsive. Only a 10 minute walk from the metro station. So nice to come “home” to a residential area after busy days of sightseeing in the touristy areas.

About the host
Hosted by Robert Pohl
Antonia and Robert have lived in Capitol Hill since 2004 and have become very much a part of the neighborhood. Robert went from researching the history of their house to becoming a licensed D.C. tour guide - all while being a stay-at-home dad. He is happy to tell you all about the history of the house, the neighborhood, and the city itself. If you are interested he is also available for tours of the city, from introductory tours of the monuments to a deep look at local neighborhoods.
Why they chose this property
While the house was built in 1913 and was inhabited for most of the first 50 years by the government clerks who defined Capitol Hill in that time, it gained historical importance in the early 1970s, when the Furies, a radical group of Lesbian feminists used the house to write, edit, and publish their newspaper, also called "The Furies." While the collective used the whole house - a number of them lived there, as well - the basement was the focal point of their work, as pictures from the time attest. While little direct evidence of the time remains, memories of the time linger, and were even given the imprimatur of the National Park Service's National Registry of Historic Places in 2016.
What makes this property unique
Capitol Hill grew as a neighborhood between 1880 and 1920, and retains its residential character. The same amenities that entice people to move here are also key to its draw for visitors: Lots of good restaurants of all types and price ranges, excellent connections to all the main sights of Washington via Metro and bus, small businesses with a wide array of unique products for sale. Staying in the Furies House will give you the opportunity to explore a neighborhood that has been rated one of the best in D.C. by Frommer's, Timeout, and Lonely Planet.
There are amenities close by, a cute cafe 1-1/2 blocks away, a convenience market 1/2 a block, as well as full-service grocery stores including Trader Joe's within easy walking distance.
If you visit with young children, there are playgrounds all across Capitol Hill, including one in Lincoln Park two blocks from the apartment, as well as a brand new one near Eastern Market Metro. See pictures for an idea of what they look like.
