About this property

Professionally cleaned between guests, this Urban Sanctuary is an oasis in the middle of the city. Gorgeous luxury renovation with high end finishes. English basement, exposed brick, heated floors (bed/ bath), 1 bed/bath, sofabed. In the heart of Capitol Hill! Walking distance to 2 metros (Union Station & Eastern Market), restaurants & nightlife! Light filled space comfortably fits 2, but can accommodate 4 (with sofabed). (Please note -- additional guests over 2 incur an additional $25/person per night.)

Guests' space is completely private with separate entrance (front & back), all amenities included - cable/WiFi, gourmet kitchen, washer/dryer, heated floors (bedroom/bathroom). Conveniently located and designed to accommodate business travelers and visitors alike.

One block from public bus, Capitol Bikeshare, 8 blocks from 2 metro lines (Union Station & Eastern Market), and 2 blocks from the H Street trolley, and 4 blocks from Whole Foods. Street parking (with restrictions). Walk score of 94. Please contact me a week in advance if you have a car. Street parking requires a premier (for longer than 2 hours), which may incur an additional cost.

I spent 2 years lovingly rebuilding this space in an 1890s historic row house to make it incredible. Every attention to detail, to include solar panels for the house. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and make it your home away from home - enriching your visit with fond memories of DC, the neighborhood and the Urban Sanctuary. No pets, no smoking, not more than 4 guests. Kindly ask that you treat this like your home & care for the space and the community (neighbors & the environment). Note - parking is limited to street parking (with restrictions). No parties, please tidy after your visit, if coming/going late please be respectful, and please be a kind steward of the environment. Most importantly, welcome home!

Great visit!

We enjoyed our stay at Urban Sanctuary on Capitol Hill! It was just as pictured and Jamie was such a kind and responsive hostess! We were able to walk to the Capitol building and Union Station easily from this location and Uber rides were easy to come by too! The basement apartment was very clean and well equipped for our long weekend stay and there was a convenient little market right across the street too. We will definitely stay again next time we are in DC!

Property was beautiful with heat and a/c, clean, comfortable, fully stocked with anything you might need in a kitchen or bathroom, had a huge tv, had brochures of everything you might want to see during your stay, info on the metro and ubers, a washer and drier. Our host Jamie was lovely and helpful with everything. She even made us cookies!

Cute, Comfy & Convenient

We spent a week seeing the major sights of DC. Appreciated the convenience of being within walking distance to Union Station, which was the hub of our transportation. The apartment is just as shown in the listing. Very colorful, cute and has everything you could need. The bed is super comfy. The shower is great! Washer and dryer allowed us to pack light. Jamie responded very quickly to any questions we had. Very satisfied. Would stay here again.
