About this property

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.

Great week of vacation

Bobby and JoAnn are fantastic. This place is as advertised. The location is great. Easy walking to the Mall and its tourist attractions. We visited a local market for essentials and walked to Whole Foods for groceries using the supplied bags. Lots of restaurants in the area. Definitely don’t need a car if you are staying in town. Thanks!

DC Vacation

Perfect for the two of us. A great location behind the capital, but we spent a lot of time in Georgetown which was a long way away. Neighborhood has a diner down the street for breakfast and a couple of markets really close by.

Great spot in Capitol Hill

This was a great spot to stay - the property was clean, everything worked wonderfully, and the hosts/property manager was excellent. All questions answered right away! There are several places within walking distance which should be on anyone's to-go-to DC list, but this property was still nice and quiet.

Truly a Gem!

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!

Washington DC visit

Fantastic accomodations close to the Capitol and pubic transportation. The appointment has everything you need. After a long day of visiting museums it was nice to get back and relax. The location was perfect. We could walk to the National Mall or take the dccerculator for $1. There were many good restaurants within walking distance. A great Home away from Home

Perfect location for exploring DC

The property is lacking nothing. It has a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, spacious dining and living area. There is plentiful storage for your belongings, a washer and dryer and tasteful art decorating the rooms. It is walking distance to the Capital and Smithsonian Museums. Uber was reasonable to our various destinations. The owners are kind and very responsive if you need any help.

Cozy, Quiet, Art-Filled

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

A Great Place to Stay to Enjoy Washington DC Sites

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great place to stay to enjoy all the sites and entertainment that DC has to offer. The Capital Hill Classic is in a nice quiet neighborhood and yet in walking distance of all the sites and transportation and great restaurants. After a full day of seeing the sites what an enjoyable place to return to relax. The home is beautiful. Thanks for letting us share your home and city with you.

Fantastic Place to Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was one of the best places I have rented on VRBO. It was clean, spacious, well stocked and comfortable. It was decorated to perfection from the kitchen to the artwork! You are so close to everything near Capitol Hill and the Eastern Market! We did tons of walking or found great public transportation not far from the rental.The owners were fantastic to work with, however the rental company could use to send out check in and check out instructions a little sooner than they did. Also would have liked the rental company to answer calls and texts a little quicker. Overall, a great stay in a great city.

My wife and I found the kitchen to be very well equipped. It even included condiments and spices, etc. that are not normally found in time-rental spaces. Kitchen cabinets and storage are well laid out, making cooking in the kitchen a breeze. The rooms were spotless, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Parking was easily found on the street (usually in the same block); the host's and manager's promptness in obtaining a parking permit was most helpful. In sum, we look forward to using VRBO again when we visit Washington, DC, and we really hope that this location is available when we do!

I loved this place! I plan to stay here again. It was super clean and just as described. The only two things that I thought might could use improvement were possibly 1. brighter lighting (the living and dining were a little dim) 2. Maybe a few welcoming snacks (we were hit and thirsty upon arrival) However, there was a nice cold pitcher of water in the fridge. Perfect! I look forward to staying again as my daughter has recently moved to DC.
