Perfect DC Home Base

My wife and I stayed here for several days while visiting D.C., and it was a perfect home base. The apartment was clean, private, and just as described. The full kitchen made it easy to cook meals, and the heated bathroom floor was a nice touch.The location is great—quiet neighborhood, close to the metro, and a quick Uber to all the major sights. The host offers a free parking pass upon request, and the place is also set up for families with a high chair, pack ’n play, and games for kids.Check-in was simple, and the host was very responsive. We’d gladly stay again.

This is a Capitol Hill Gem!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely basement apartment in Capitol Hill. The location is on a quiet, tree-lined street just minutes from the metro. The apartment is beautifully decorated with many thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. A separate entrance made coming and going easy and private.The host was professional, responsive to our questions about the area, and clearly put a lot of effort into making guests comfy. We would stay there again and we highly recommend it for anyone visiting DC and value comfort and convenience.

As a husband-and-wife team, our love for Washington, DC inspired us to create a space where others could experience the best of this incredible city. We originally designed it to host our own families, ensuring it was welcoming, comfortable, and perfect for exploring everything DC has to offer.

Located in the heart of the city, our space provides easy access to iconic landmarks, museums, and unique neighborhoods. For us, it’s about more than offering a place to stay—it’s about sharing the history, culture, and vibrancy of the city we’re proud to call home.

Why they chose this property

Capitol Hill East is a centrally located neighborhood that perfectly blends history and convenience—one of the many reasons we chose it as our home base. Nestled within charming streets lined by historic 100-year-old homes, it offers a unique glimpse into DC’s rich past. Just minutes from the U.S. Capitol, the space provides easy access to iconic landmarks, museums, and government buildings. We also love the proximity to top scenes such as Eastern Market, Navy Yard, and the Wharf, where amazing dining, entertainment, and waterfront views await. This convenient location truly showcases the best of Washington, DC.

What makes this property unique

Our rental is truly unique and thoughtfully designed with care to host our own families for a comfortable and welcoming experience. Unlike many lower-unit apartments, this space features 8-foot ceilings and full-sized windows which give it a bright and open feel. The apartment has its own private entrance and patio, offering privacy and outdoor space to relax after exploring the city.

Inside, you'll find a full custom kitchen equipped with everything you need to cook and dine in style. The bathroom boasts heated floors for added comfort, and the space includes its own thermostat, allowing you to adjust the temperature to your liking. With three queen beds, the space comfortably sleeps six guests. Parking is conveniently available, and the apartment is just a short walk from the Metro, making it easy to explore all that Washington, DC has to offer. Every detail was designed to provide the perfect blend of style, functionality, and coziness, creating a standout option for your stay.
