Excellently updated and maintained property in very close proximity to the Capitol and Mall. Do not worry about safety, not a concern at all. Close to public transportation and walkable to/from Union Station if that's in your transportation plans. Excellent host in every way.
Perfect Capitol Hill Stay for Our FamilyThis property was exactly as described, which is to say it was awesome. The home is beautiful, comfortable, well appointed, and in a fantastic location. It was perfect for our family of five, with plenty of room to relax after full days exploring D.C.Andrew was an excellent host and incredibly responsive throughout the stay. Everything was easy, clear, and well communicated. We were able to walk or take short Uber rides to all the major tourist attractions, which made the trip so much easier.We’d absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Washington, D.C.!
Beautiful home! My family really enjoyed staying here. The location was perfect for exploring Washington DC. We were able to find street parking nearby for our rental car. I really appreciated the special touches most vacation rentals do no provide like drinking water, shampoo and conditioner and well located charging outlets.
We had a great time with our family in DC and this property was a perfect location. We were able to walk to the majority of sites with ease. We took our toddler grandson to the park which was a block away to their playground and were able to walk 9minutes to the Whole Foods for groceries. The house was very clean and Andrew was so easy to work with. We appreciated the city guide he provided. We highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a walkable location to all the DC sites.
Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay while visiting our Nation’s Capital and celebrating our country’s 250th Anniversary! The home was perfectly located and an easy walk to so much!Historic home was beautiful inside and out and neighborhood was safe with no issues. Our host made us feel welcomed before we ever arrived, answered all my questions and shared some great recommendations on local restaurants and attractions! Thank you so much for sharing your home-it was one of the things that made our stay so memorable!
This home was absolutely perfect for us! My husband and I took our first family trip to DC with my 12-year old and my dog. The house was clean and provided plenty of space. It is in a wonderful location and we were able to walk to great restaurants, sights, and museums. The host was incredibly responsive while we were looking at the house and continued to check in after we arrived. The guidebook for the house was super helpful. I would highly recommend this home!
Great place to stay. Well-appointed! Located a block away from Stanton Pk. and a nice stroll to Eastern Market and 8th St for dinner and ice cream. We were visiting my daughter, who lives in the Capitol Hill area. Will stay again.
Perfect location! We could walk to a lot of different places. House was very clean and very comfortable! Andrew is very easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again!
Our family of four including 6th and 7th graders had a fabulous mini getaway to D.C. visiting memorial, Mt. Vernon and the Smithsonian museums. What made the stay extra nice was our accommodations at this property. The communication was topnotch with incredible resources, the property itself was superb, clean and a lovely retreat for tired feet. The pictures are accurate and the location was amazing near the government buildings and museums. We would stay here again!
The home is beautiful and in a perfect location. The house is large and accommodating. We were able to walk to The Mall and had lots of fantastic restaurants in the neighborhood. Would highly recommend this property. We needed an early check in to drop our bags and it was very easy to contact the owner who was very accommodating. Parking is also available outside the home
Perfect family base—easy walk to the Capitol & museums
We spent spring break here with our four kids and couldn’t have been happier. The house was spotless, exactly as pictured, and an easy stroll to the Capitol, Air & Space Museum, and plenty of other sights. Andrew’s communication was outstanding—he answered questions quickly and sent helpful tips about the neighborhood, transit, and the home itself. After long days exploring D.C., it was great to come back to such a comfortable place. We’d book again without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
Andrew was an excellent communicator and very helpful when answering my questions. the property’s location was perfect for our touring the Smithsonian’s and other DC attractions. Our group of 4 were comfortable in the space and we appreciated newer appliances. We would definitely stay here again when visiting the city.
Beautiful 3-bedroom place on Capitol Hill on a quiet scenic street. Only a few blocks from Union Station and the Capitol. Immaculately clean. Nearby dining options are good. Host Andrew responds quickly to answer any questions.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was clean and quiet, the beds were comfortable, and it had plenty of space for our party of four. We didn’t do a lot of cooking, but the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. And we loved being close enough to walk to all of our planned tours at the Capitol and museums! We would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I stayed with our 13 and 14 year old teenagers. House was great, 4 blocks from Union Station (we took the train in from Philly) so we walked to the house. Grocery and wine store within a few blocks along with restaurants. Had everything we needed at the house and Andrew was an amazing host! We were able to get an early check in and had no problems during our stay - great neighborhood- highly recommend!
The excellent stay started with great communication from Andrew, our host and got better from there! The house was clean, well furnished and located in a safe, well located neiborhood. One of the best stays ever!
