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.

We love our repeat clients and are thrilled to see that they appreciate all that the property has to offer by way of location, quality, amenities, cleanliness, value, and service. :-)
We enjoyed our stay at the Capitol Hill apartment. The location is on a quiet charming street just a short 10 minute or so walk to the Capitol and metro station. Charlotte arranged free parking for us and we didn’t use our car for the entire stay. The home is well decorated, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked for preparing meals. The bathroom has a large shower and nice bath towels. The only suggestion I would have would be a new mattress, the one side is a little uneven. I would stay here again if returning to Washington.

We appreciate when our guests take the time to leave a detailed review of their experience in a LUXbnb property, it's very helpful for future guests.
We are always grateful too for the feedback so we can improve guest experience. The mattress was rotated and flipped today. We're ready for our next guest!
We are glad we made this choice. This cute, nicely appointed apartment was attractive, comfortably furnished with a well stocked kitchen for cooking, and a good night's sleep on the queen bed. The owner communicated well and answered all questions promptly. There were even some extensive recommendations for things to visit in the capitol. It was an easy 25 minute walk to the capitol buildings and grounds. Lot's of eateries nearby. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet. There was some overhead footstep noise from the upper residents but only noticeable for a short while in the evenings. Did not disturb our sleep. We would happily return.

We are grateful to our guest for taking the time to share her experience staying with us. Good to know about the footfalls. We will order a runner for upstairs!
Be sure if booking with us to look into a visit at nearby Folger Shakespeare Theater &Library, the Library of Congress, and the US Capital Building.
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!

Lovely review, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our future guests!
So convenient to the Capitol, Library of Congress and mall. Fun restaurants close by and easy to get to other locations from this spot. Perfect for couples.
Great location. Pretty neighborhood and about a 15 min walk to the metro, restaurants, and grocery store. Street parking (30tax for permit which they get for you). I was a little worried about finding parking but it wasn’t bad at all. Very nice place. Has everything you’d need. Great hosts, communication was easy and punctual. Highly recommend!
