>>> The US Capitol, Supreme Court and Library of Congress are a 10-minute stroll away.
>>> Head 4 blocks north, through our neighborhood of historic rowhouses, to get to Metro's Eastern Market station, on the direct route to top destinations -- the Smithsonian, the White House, the Washington Convention Center, the new American Indian museum, the FDR and Jefferson Memorials, Ford's Theatre, the International Spy Museum and more are a 10-minute ride away. Or stay on the subway for a bit longer to get to the National Zoo, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Kennedy Center.
>>> To our east is Barracks Row, home to the President's Own (Marine Corps Band) and the Marine Commandant, and a restaurant row for nightlife. And to our south are the Washington Nationals' new stadium, the Navy Yard, and the new Transportation Department HQ.
On the way back home, stop at Eastern Market's produce, meat, dairy and flower stalls -- or pop into one of Barracks Row's cafes, bars or restaurants. Several grocery/drug/liquor stores are within walking/driving distance.

The apartment was just perfect for the 2 of us for the week. We enjoyed being able to walk a few blocks to all types of resturants, we found grocery stores easiliy. The Metro was only about 5 blocks away and it was an easy walk to the Capital Building area. We didn't have a car so we either walked or took the metro all over the DC area. The owner was very helpful and even greeted us by a text message the night we arrived. The property was very clean and in a neighborhood that felt to safe to walk around in, even at night.

My husband and I just spent one week exploring D.C. It was our first trip and we loved the location of this unit. It was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a wonderful one week stay. After reading other reviews I decided to rent this unit. We were not disappointed. I think it would be too crowded for 4 adults, but it was perfect for the two of us. Thanks Deborah for making this great unit available.

This property is so convenient to the Capitol and easily accessible to the Mall by Metro or bus. Delightful neighborhood where we felt very safe. Lots of places to eat nearby. On the map it looks close to the highway, but you hear no traffic noise. Since we drove there, having a parking place was a real bonus.(fyi, there is underground parking at Harris-Teeter) Clean townhome and very comfortable bed. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The apartment was clean and had all the convenience of being at home. The kitchen is well equiped, the beds are comfortable and the street noise was minimal. Besides being a nice quiet neighborhood, the location is perfect for the subway connection and for a nice walk to the Capitol and the National Mall. There are some nice restaurants just a few blocks away. We especially enjoyed The Tortilla Cafe on 7th St. (a Diners, Dives, and Drive-Ins favorite) and the Ugly Mug on 8th St., both had excellent food and good prices. The Eastern Market is a must on the weekends. We would certainly recommend this apartment to our friends.
Owner response:John & Jane - Thanks for noting for future guests what has been a well-kept secret in the neighborhood: some of the great restaurants along Barracks Row! Eastern Market - a combination of farmers, artists and flea-marketeers that always makes for good strolling (and great waffles!) - has been entertaining Washingtonians for a century. . . Glad you enjoyed it all ! - Deborah

I highly recommend this attractive town house for seniors who want to see the Capitol, but still reserve enough energy to enjoy the museums. It is well placed in the historic district of Capitol Hill, in a neighborhood that seems very safe. It is a superb location for evenings when you don't feel like cooking because the Marine Barrack's Row restaurant district two blocks away has something for everyone. There are only a few steps at the entrance, and it is charming and quiet inside. It sleeps four comfortably, is nicely decorated and fully equipped for cooking, which can save on meals. I was delighted to find you can store packed lunches in lockers at the Smithsonian's American History Museum (which cost a refundable 25 cents)! A bus to the Mall is a block away. There is also a circulator bus two blocks away and the metro is a nice morning walk for more rapid transport around town. There is a reserved parking space, but no need to rent a car with puplic transport so close and easy. Deborah was so helpful in giving information about the Smart Card which you can use for this entire transportation system. No fussing with change, and I like that. Swipe your Smart Card and away you go! Maybe enjoy the Kennedy Center for its 6 pm FREE entertainment!
Owner response:Hi Mancy! I'm so glad your visit to DC worked so well for you. . . it's great to have such a high-spirited solo traveler, and especially good to see your money-saving tips. Washington can be expensive, but it doesn't have to break the bank, and I hope other visitors take your suggestions and dive into everything we have to offer in the nation's capital! - Deborah

I highly recommend this condo. I stayed here with my 18 year old grandson. It was just wonderful. Deborah was very helpful and very quick in responding to questions. The location was great. Just a short walk to the Metro Station in Eastern Market and a few stops to all of the tourist attractions The condo was clean and nicely decorated. We felt a part of the neighborhood walking to all of the nearby restaurants and shopping in the Eastern Market. We would return in a moment to this location. Thank you Deborah.

First time in DC and staying at Deborah's townhouse was a great choice. The place was clean and excellently kept. My wife and I along with our 14 year old son could not have been happier with the location. The metro was not far and great restaurants were within a few blocks. The area was very safe and we walked everywhere. This was really important to us when we choose this location, and we were not disappointed. Eastern Market was close and bus ride to the major attractions was a relatively short distance. Throughout the process Deborah was very helpful and I would highly recommend staying here for anyone that wants a great DC experience.

My husband, two kids and I really enjoyed the nice, cute home. We had everything that we needed and were able to make meals, do laundry and walk to the Eastern Market Metro. It is a super cute neighborhood that looks like it's right out of a magazine. We would definetly recommend this place to anyone visiting the DC area.

Perfect place for a family of four, loved that we could get around easily by taking the metro (5 blocks away) or even walking to the Capital. Parking is directly behind the apt. and is at no extra cost. Neighbors were friendly and we felt safe staying there, pretty homes and lovely gardens to look at when walking to the metro. The Eastern Market was a highlight, as was Barracks Row (two streets over), lots of good restaurants. We really liked Matchbox, yummy pizza and pasta. Deborah thought of everything to make our stay wonderful (well stocked kitchen to make easy meals at home) and was very helpful with our questions. King bed was very comfortable and our boys (8 and 9) slept great on the futon after a long day of sight-seeing. Wish we had more time to stay, it was a perfect vacation! Thanks Deborah!

As a family with 2 young children, we spent three nights in Washington. The property is very well located (only a 10 min walk from the Capitol) and a few blocks away from Eastern Market (tip: try the pancakes, they are fantastic). The neighborhood is quiet and very pretty. We could park the car behind the property at no cost. The place itself was very clean and well equipped. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family and would not hesitate to book again.
