About this property

3 blocks to Capitol - Great Neighborhood- Gorgeous

Gorgeous kitchen and bath, great one floor layout, huge landscaped courtyard, fantastic location. Large landscaped courtyard is shared but is rarely used by other guests (they have their own spaces too) so it's a great spot for outside social distance morning coffee, work from home, evening cocktail.

Charming 1 bedroom in 1860s 4-unit building. 3 blocks to Capitol. Top Capitol Hill neighborhood. Very private. Lots of light, huge garden and roof deck. Walk to metro, shops, restaurants, National Mall, Capitol. Smoke free.

Address is 311 A Street NE Washington DC 20002. The 300 block of A Street is highly sought after for it's location and charm. Three blocks to the Capitol on a gorgeous tree-lined street with brick sidewalks.

Queen bed in bedroom and queen sleeper sofa in living room.

Blazing Fast 1 GIG Verizon Fios WIFI (and ethernet) service provided. This is the fastest residential internet service available in DC. Group HD Zoom calls require 3 mbps, so this is up to several hundred times faster than that. YouTube TV (85 channels including HBO Max and local channels) included. Smart TV with Netflix, Amazon, Hulu etc. built in for use with your accounts.
Private entrance. Private heat/AC/ventilation. Our professional cleaner is masked and social distances and uses enhanced cleaning techniques. Bed and bath linens are removed and sanitized using professional high temp laundry. Contact free move in and move out with electronic locks.

This is a Capitol Hill Stay property. Capitol Hill Stay is a veteran-owned small business with 24 properties on Capitol Hill. We have been providing furnished lodging on Capitol Hill since 1996. We use excellent cleaners and pay them a living wage (they are best in DC if you ask me). And we have a professional full time property manager. If this property doesn't work for you or isn't available for the dates you need please reach out to us and let us know and we can see if we can find a property that does work for you. You can also swap from one of our properties to another as available if needed. Additionally you can see all of our Airbnb listings at our Airbnb host profile page.

PLEASE SEND AN INQUIRY PRIOR TO SENDING A BOOKING REQUEST.

Large 1 bedroom on ground floor of 1860s 4-unit building. Large landscaped side patio and rooftop deck. Great security behind locking garden gate. Terrific neighborhood. Highly sought after location blocks to metro, shops, US Capitol, etc. Stunning kitchen and bath. About 700 sf

Guests have total access. I'm more than happy to provide information on local attractions. We also provide a detailed Welcome Letter with relevant neighborhood information, plus an interactive map with neighborhood recommendations.

Capitol Hill is an outstanding neighborhood. It's historic, charming, and ideally located at the absolute geographic center of DC. Terrific safety, with the US Capitol police patrolling the area. Home to many politicians, media figures, etc.

Corner groceries, pharmacy, great diner and dry cleaners a two minute walk away.

Eastern Market (farmers market and baker/butcher etc) is a few blocks away. Amazing restaurants and lively bars within blocks! 400 block of East Capitol with two corner groceries, Capital Bikeshare, great diner, and pharmacy is 1/2 block away.

Whole Foods and several other supermarkets in the neighborhood.

Five blocks to metro orange/blue and red lines. Union Station train station is five blocks. Union Station is home to the major sightseeing tours. Capital Bikeshare kiosk is a couple minutes walk.

Uber and Lyft and cheap and very easy to get here.

DC Circulator metro rapid bus transit also very close by.

Charming place with tons of character. Great outdoor space. Perfect spot to explore DC from. Ideal neighborhood for longer term stays too.

Inquire about parking PRIOR to booking please. There is very little need to bring a vehicle, as there is great metro and bikeshare access, and rideshares are inexpensive and readily available. Most places you want to go to in DC won't have parking when you get there. 24/7 street parking near this property is possible with a street parking pass, which can be obtained from the DC DMV with a copy of a lease and vehicle information. It costs around $250 for a six month pass. Free street parking with no pass needed is free and open to all every night, all weekend, and two hours each weekday. We have about five offstreet parking spaces in the immediate area. We rent them from neighbors. IF a paid space is available they usually go for $300 a month. Union Station parking garage is five blocks away and can do monthly rentals including oversize vehicles for around $300 a month.

A word about rates:

Since every booking is different the rates listed are an approximation. Rates are based on length of stay, specific dates needed, amenities requested, etc. Bookings less than 91 days are subject to the DC lodging tax of 15.95%. SINCE EVERY INQUIRY IS DIFFERENT AND THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN PRICE IS THE SPECIFIC DATES CHOSEN AND LENGTH OF STAY RATES MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN WHAT IS POSTED. PLEASE INQUIRE SO WE CAN DISCUSS PRIOR TO SENDING A BOOKING REQUEST.

Fall and winter months are very high demand, moreso this year than ever before as this is the first year that many federal agencies and private employers are bringing people back to DC, and they are making up for lost productivity during Covid.

And of course it's a presidential election year.

Most furnished housing providers in DC will only take bookings for three months or longer during these months. We will do less, but the rates do go up. And generally we try to match an incoming booking with an apartment that is available within a week or so of the requested date. For instance if you are seeking a month rental beginning July 1 we would want to match your request with a property available in very late June or July 1. If the property you inquired about seems to have an availability date that may not match up then you can always check HERE see all properties and their available dates.

Our average booking is around four to six months. We are primarily a longer term lodging provider. We can do shorter, but in the furnished housing business rates go up for shorter stays.

Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.

Quick stay for college visits

First time in this neighborhood and feel like we found a hidden gem! Loved the location and the place was perfect for our three days. Lots to do and see in DC and this place was close to the action but in a family friendly neighborhood so no loud parties and wild bar scene. Great walking and access to the mall and metro system. Apartment was spotless and met all our needs. Will definitely look to rent this again!

Everything we needed and more.

This property was absolutely perfect for this couple of visitors and a big dog. When we arrived, everything was spotless and inviting. We slept like logs, given both the bed and the pull-out sofa were super plush an comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed, so we made every meal in the apartment. A great cost-saving feature. The location puts tourists less than a couple blocks from the Capitol and the National Mall beyond, and with a BikeShare rack situated so close, you can ride instead of walking. The BikeShare rack is next to a small market that, while pricey, has everything you need. Eastern Market is a walkable distance away and Whole Foods is a bike ride away, depnding upon how many groceries you need to buy. We parked and never moved our car for our entire stay. This property felt like a real home away from home, is ideally situated and you’ll feel you’ve found a haven. It’s peaceful and the locks on the outside courtyard, the apartment, and just the location, itself, provide a measure of security that’s really wonderful in a large city locale. I’m hoping to return and would recommend this property to anyone. Having stayed in other AirBnB and VRBO offerings, I can say without reservation that this is a really great place. Enjoy!!

Great apartment; incredible location!

This is a beautiful one-bedroom apartment on a very quiet street. It has all the conveniences of home--and with a better bed! But what sets this rental apart from so many others is its incredible location. It is literally a few blocks from the Capitol, Union Station, Eastern Market and several Metro lines. Multiple restaurants are also within a few minutes' walk. All the Smithsonian museums are accessible without any difficulty, whether walking or using the Connector bus. Anson Laytner

Not quite as promised.

This has been a difficult stay for me to review. While the location is outstanding and the unit is well appointed and maintained, it felt more hotel than VRBO. Very businesslike and not very homey and comfortable. Being awakened early in the morning by a gas powered leaf blower outside my bedroom window (it should not be that hard to coordinate yard work with guest stays) or, when in the bedroom hearing every footstep from the occupants above (which does confirm this is a 100 year old building) did not make the stay very restful. And the message is clear; stay here but don't get too comfortable. The kitchen at every VRBO I have ever stayed at (and there have been plenty) always has a cupboard of rotating spices and flavorings to encourage cooking. You use what is there, you add what is missing, and you leave the rest for the next guest. This kitchen did not even have any salt or pepper. There was one pouch of Costco coffee. And one soap pouch for the dishwasher. They do tell you this, but not until you receive your "Welcome" letter a few days before you arrive. Not when you book. So be prepared to go out and buy all of your essentials the minute you get there. For a week long stay, this either means an added expense or doing without. At least a hotel provides toiletries on a daily basis. And if you do leave anything for the next guest, the owners obviously remove it before you get there. The result is that you use the kitchen to keep cold beverages and snacks. You don't eat and you certainly don't do laundry. I have used basics left behind and contributed to this cycle for the next guest many times and was disappointed that this option is taken away here and most likely at all of the units run by this group. I respect they are running a business, but this was supposed to be Vacation Rental by Owner. That implies some comforts.

Great place, location & service

What a gem of a place! My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights: nice accommodations (simple, nothing over the top), incredible service and great location. 8 min walk to the Capitol. 10-15 min walk to Eastern Market. Really quiet courtyard in the middle of the apartments. We would definitely stay here again (and I'm super picky).

nice little unit

nice unit, very close to the heart of DC.works great for a couple, wouldn't want to have any more in the unit. Overall nice place, small bathroom, and a little hard to find initially, but if you are looking for a small place to get away, in the heart of DC, walking distance to the Capital and most other sights along the mall, this would be a great location. we will probably be back.

Wonderful Capital Hill stay in D.C.

What a wonderful property close enough to walk to the National Mall. Lovely residential historic neighborhood with nice brick sidewalks. We felt very safe walking in the area. This Home was beautifully furnished and we were very comfortable. We didn't have any complaints. It was such a great location! We would highly recommend this home for your next stay in DC!

Great Property Tucked Away Behind the Mall

This apartment was a wonderful place to stay on a work trip to D.C.The location right behind the Supreme Court provides easy access to the Mall for monuments/sightseeing as well as the H-street corridor/area north of the Mall for restaurants/bars. The apartment itself was well-kept, clean, and beautifully decorated/furnished. The owners were very friendly, professional, and communicative. Overall, I would recommend this location in a heartbeat to anyone staying in D.C.

Seamless and safe

Our check-in, stay and exit went smoothly and without any hitches. Brian was quick to respond and helpful with some of our logistics. It’s location on the Hill is close to the Capitol and we walked everywhere from there. The facility was quiet, always felt secure and the neighborhood safe. There are a couple other connected apartments but we neither saw nor heard any other tenants. We were there for a full week and all in all it was a good place to stay in DC that worked out well for us.

Our apartment was comfortable and located in a beautiful neighborhood.

We had a great time in DC on vacation. We were close enough to do a lot of sightseeing on foot; but Uber was never more than two minutes away when we wanted to go farther (or it was just too hot to walk). The apartment had all the comforts of home, and an intimate gated courtyard that we shared with two other apartments. Not only was it pretty, but we enjoyed that little bit of interaction with other travelers. We never encountered any problems that required reporting, but the property owner was very responsive to questions prior and during our stay. We would definitely rent from him again and recommend his properties to others!

Fantastic apartment in the heart of D.C

This apartment was absolutely beautiful and within a close proximity to the Supreme Court, the Capitol, and the Smithsonian museums, not to mention dozens of restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. The apartment was clean and comfortable, the well kept appliances and furnishings adding a sleek and modern feel to the space. The additional amenities- a large T.V, cookware, and fresh linens- made the stay even more relaxing. The landlord was accessible and friendly, which made arranging the stay easy and pleasant. This is a great place to rent if you want a comfortable place to stay in the heart of D.C within walking distance of all of the exciting opportunities the city has to offer.

Terrific home away from home

My husband and I spent three months in this apartment, and everything about the experience was amazing. The location could not be better: a short walk to the Supreme Court, the Capitol, the Library of Congress, and multiple Metro lines; a welcome variety of groceries, restaurants, coffee shops, and bars in easy walking distance; friendly, helpful neighbors on all sides; great security; and a real neighborhood feel. We brought a car with us, but have to remind ourselves to take it out now and then, because virtually everything we need is right here in the neighborhood. The apartment itself is perfect for, and the secured courtyard and garden are lovely. The place is beautifully furnished and very nicely equipped with appliances, cookware, and linens. We cook many of our meals at home, and the kitchen is ideal. Best of all, CHS is a wonderful landlord—very easy to work with on the uncomplicated rental agreement, and super-attentive and prompt in answering our questions and responding to requests.

Best home away from home

This property is a gem - the location could not be better unless you wanted to sleep inside the Supreme Court. The amenities inside are wonderful - TV, premium channels, air conditioning, pots/pans, suffice to say it's everything you need to live very comfortably. The coordination and communication was seamless. Truly a great place to stay, most highly recommended!

Book this one

We travel the East Coast a lot including DC. Had never stayed on Capitol Hill before. Took a chance and booked this place. Couldn't have been happier. FANTASTIC location beautiful neighborhood with some really first rate restaurants and nightlife. The place itself was very charming with great kitchen and enormous outdoor spaces. The owner noticed when we moved in that there were only three towels so he came back within ten minutes with more. Top notch customer service. Property is unique. Gets a lot of light. And the patio was perfect for morning coffee. We were only here a week but felt like we could have stayed forever.
