About this property

Cozy Capitol Hill Garden Apartment, behind Capitol

Update : Vrbo has inadvertently blocked dates on our calendar when dates may be open. Refer to other sites for proper date availability.

Just a 10 minute walk from the museums on the Mall, and a 5 minute walk from Eastern Market & Union Station metro stops, this newly renovated apartment is an ideal location whether you're visiting DC for business or pleasure.

This charming apartment is the garden level of our Capitol Hill rowhome on historic East Capitol Street. The 700 sq ft apartment features tin ceiling, wainscoting, and polished brick floors. It's minutes from the sights, restaurants, museums and night life of Barracks Row & H St.

The kitchen, bathroom, and brick floors, were completely renovated in 2013. The kitchen is full service (fridge, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, disposal) and equipped with a coffee maker, toaster, pots and pans, dinnerware, and basic utensils.
There is a small laundry washer and dryer for those longer stays.

The bedroom features a queen bed. We can also provide a spare queen-size foldable memory foam mattress (that can be laid on the floor). Sleep arrangements best suit 2 adults, and will be a snug fit for 2 adults with 1-2 small children or 3 adults.

All sheets/towels/shampoo and soap are provided.

The main living space has a table that seats four, a couch, chair, a desk, a 27 inch flat screen TV with cable provided. (We simply ask that you not order movies /shows off the cable, as this will incur a charge). Also, we provide free wifi.

We live in the upstairs unit of the house, if there are any questions, we are easily available to assist.

PLEASE NOTE: stairs
There are several steps down to the apartment. You will need to be able to climb stairs freely, without assistive device or rail to be able to access apartment.

PET POLICY: please inquire, we are dog friendly for well-behaved, non destructive, house-trained dogs, (if you have doubts, please crate your pup, we’ve experienced some wear from pets in the past so please be considerate if your pup is a mischievous one). $50 pet fee per stay.
We are not able to accommodate other types of pets/animals.

There is a $95 cleaning fee per visit.
# Check-in Time is 4:00 PM
# check-out is 11:00 AM. (This is to allow time for our turnover cleaning.)

A NOTE ABOUT PARKING :
Please inquire about parking when you book.
There is on street parking (Easy to find, but zoned) and we can provide guest pass. For small/medium cars we also have a nearby alleyway spot a few blocks away.

Our street is well lit and our house is across from a Daycare, so it's safe- but as it is a city, we recommend removing any belongings in plain view from your vehicle.
If you don't want to park on the street, you can park at Union Station, which is a 5 minute cab ride or a 15 minute walk to the apartment.
Also, there’s a public parking lot on 649 C St. SE.

We spent five nights in this charming apartment, and would definitely book there again. It's in a great location, with easy and thoughtful communication with the host a big plus. Thanks for adding to our memorable trip by providing a great "home base".

They Knew What We Needed Before We Did

This VRBO is in the ideal location as long as you are okay with walking everywhere, because everything is close enough that it doesn't feel worth trying to find parking; the scooters you can find around the entire city are worth it if your legs get tired. The place included so many little things we didn't think about, like a hair dryer, cookware, and even hair care supplies like Shampoo. The owners also responded to messages quickly and recommended restaurants when we asked. They left a binder on the counter full of information as well.It could fit a small family, but we do think its especially ideal for two people.

Walk to Capitol/Metro

Great space for a couple. We walked and took the metro to the White House area, Arlington Cemetery, DCA Airport. Super convenient if you don’t mind some walking to/from the metro. There are also rental bikes nearby. Nice walkable neighborhood with Trader Joe’s fairly close. Kitchen is great, washer/dryer. Would stay here again.

Washington, DC trip

We bring our grandchildren to Washington when they are 12. This is an excellent location because it is close to the Capitol. Also, the Metro has 3 lines coming in so we didn't have to wait long for a ride. This VRBO is fine for 2 people. Our granddaughter slept on a small sofa and was fine. If she were taller, it would have been difficult for her.
