About this property

Delightful 1 bdrm/2 bed in center of Capitol Hill.

You’re going to love our bright and cozy 1-bedroom English Basement, in a 100+-year-old rowhouse at the center of historic Capitol Hill.

Everything you want to see/do is close by, and our neighborhood offers plenty of restaurants/bars for your recovery. Walk everywhere, take the bus around the corner, walk 15 minutes to the Red or Orange/Silver/Blue lines, or grab a bike at the bikeshare.

The unit has everything you need to enjoy your time in DC--just bring a good pair of walking shoes. Coming for work? You're a 10-minute walk to the Capitol.

***
YOUR APARTMENT

The apartment features a Queen size bed, and a surprisingly comfy Urban Essentials Queen size sofa. Fast internet and a desk is there if you need to do some work. We also have YouTube TV, Amazon Prime, and Netflix on the TV.

The kitchen has a microwave, 2-burner hot plate, toaster, and coffee maker/Keurig. (Just no oven, so if you’re planning a big dinner it might be a problem--I mean, who wants to cook a full meal when you’re in DC?)

You will have your own private access just 3 steps down from the street, with your own electronic code for keyless entry.
***
KIDS
We like 'em. We haven't toddler-proofed the apartment, but if there is anything you need we will try to help. Capitol Hill is a family area, and we have several parks just a short walk away.
***
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
For coffee/breakfast, Jacob’s Coffee is just a block away and you can walk to H Street NE, Eastern Market, or 8th St SE (Barracks Row) for a relaxing night out; all are walkable.

You will find Eastern Market a delightful place to see the less-touristy part of DC, mingling with the locals on weekends to browse the flea market or visit the historic indoor market. Evening walks around the Capitol and down the Mall truly are wonderful.

Street parking is available/free if you’re driving (we will give you a 24/7 pass)—or use Uber/Lyft to let someone else do the driving.
***
MEENA AND JON
As hosts, we are here for you. If you need something to make your trip easier or just some advice about the town (you gotta do the Library of Congress). We are glad to help. At the same time, the place is yours, and we’re not going to bug you if you're working, or just want privacy.
***
COMING EARLY/STAYING LATE?
If we can, we will accommodate you, though we are regularly booked and that will limit options. However, if you're coming in early or staying late, we are happy to keep your luggage in our home (upstairs).

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
We are happy to hold your bags upstairs if you are staying in town after the 10 am checkout. But please let us know ASAP so we can make arrangements to be here.
Please don't do any chores. No need to strip beds/do dishes, or anything. Getaway day can be stressful, you're our guest, and you don't need to worry about the little stuff.
Please let us know the night before your planned departure time-- it helps the cleaning folks juggle their day. And please send us a note when you check out so I can give them the go-ahead.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Great Stay

Property was exactly as described. Very roomy and in a very nice safe area. Most attractions are walkable. If you don’t feel like walking, ride shares are very cheap in this area. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

This neighborhood is amazing and safe. Jon was so great at communicating with us and taking care of us while we were there! We Ubered to the national mall two days in a row. I do wish it was closer to a metro but we understood that it wasn’t when we booked it. Parking is a little hairy if you are late getting back but Jon again took care of us at 11pm at night! The ac had a very tiny issue and Jon came and checked it out for us and had someone there looking at it the next morning. Jon is one of the best hosts we’ve had at any Vrbo location. Thank you for sharing your beautiful apartment with us. We hope to come back soon!
The apartment is in the basement. Go to the yellow home up the stone steps and then down to the apartment.
Lights outside at night ♥️
The floors are brick and amazing. They are stamped 1924! I would recommend houseshoes 😂. They are amazing but kinda hurt to walk on barefooted.

Washington DC Trip

The property is as portrayed in the advertisement. It's a very nice neighborhood with lots of trees and shrubbery. The dwelling is clean and the appliances all work. The dishes and glassware are of very good quality. The bed is very comfortable for sleeping after a long day of sightseeing. We would happily rent this property on future trips to Washington, DC. The owner is accessible and friendly. Thanks Jon! David and Connie W.

great family trip to D.C for the 4th of July

We had a great trip. From the very instant, we booked with Jon and Meena, they contacted us. Since it was our first trip to D.C, they provided us with suggestions and tips. The apartment was great for our family of four and gave us plenty of space to relax after a long day. It looks just like the pictures. The neighborhood was great, and we could walk over to Eastern Marker for the flea market over the weekend. We felt safe walking in the neighborhood at night, and it was close to the metro and buses as we didn't have a car. I am so thankful we found this booking for our trip!

Terrific property in a great neighborhood!

My daughter and I stayed here for several days during the Cherry Blossom Festival. The apartment is located in a family friendly, walkable neighborhood that is also close to many popular attractions. We felt very safe in the area. We walked to the Capitol, the museum and Mall area, Washington Monument, Tidal Basin, and more. The kitchen had everything we needed - coffee maker, fridge, microwave. The apartment was very clean and the wifi worked great. Checkin was a breeze and Jon was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Parking wasn't a problem - we drove to DC and were able to park on the street near the apartment. We would definitely stay here again!

We had the best time staying here on our trip to DC. I have stayed in rentals several times and never have had such welcoming and accommodating hosts. The government shutdown had just happened right before we were going to go and the hosts immediately messaged us to let us know what would still be open, which was greatly appreciated. The location was in an awesome part of town. Very safe and family friendly. The rooms were very very clean, and I can tell they really pay attention to the details when making it a place for guests to be comfortable. I would absolutely recommend!

Jon helped us immediately we got to the apartment as we didnt read the instructions correctly on how to enter the apartment. The apartment was excellent with everything catered for. We felt extremely safe in the area with friendly neighbours. The location is ideal for those who want to visit The Mall and its attractions. Thank you Jon for a wonderful stay at your house.

Location and neighborhood make this one of many reasons to stay in capital hill. You can walk to all major sites as well as restaurants and conveniences. This unit is well cared for and owners pay attention to details that matter like comfort, cleanliness and being sure your stay is delightful.

Nothing Better Than This!

First the owners are very easy to reach and help you with anything you need. It was private and serene. It had everything I needed. Its cultural splash of DC and reading material provided a real home feel. I even left some things and the owner mailed it to me. In these days and times, its hard to find owners who genuinely work hard to make sure your stay is comfortable. Definitely my go to when I am in DC.

The host Jon and Ana were wonderful. Everything in the description was accurate. Check-in and check-out was very easy. The apartment was absolutely wonderful. It had everything we could have ever needed. Jacob’s Coffee shop around the corner was a wonderful suggestion as well as Pupatella Neapolitan Pizza. There was also a rental bike station not far to help with our travel around DC. It was perfect and we very much enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay there again! This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. I highly recommend it!!
