Map & Owner's Profile
Capitol Hill Rowhouse - Best Location to See D.C.!
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Capitol Hill
I purchased this home when I moved to DC in October of 2006 and immediately began a complete remodel of the entire dwelling. My intent was to live in rather than rent the house, but a year and a half later when the remodel was finally complete, my basement apartment tenant decided to move out and next thing I knew, I had moved into the basement and began remodeling it as well. It was at that time I began renting the main house (with all my belongings in it!) to longer term transient renters. Only after discovering VRBO in 2009 did I realize how great my house would be for people wanting to visit Washington DC while on vacation. With the basement remodel now complete as well, I've decided to stay there and continue offering the main house to people wanting a great house in an ideal location for seeing our nation's capital.
The Unique Benefits at this House
I remodeled and furnished this house with the intent of using it as my personal residence, so no expense was spared. You will be staying in an historic home complete with modern amenities. Location-wise, everything you need (restaurants, groceries, shopping, Metro) is within 2 blocks and everything you want to see (Capitol, Library of Congress, National Mall, Smithsonian museums) is just a few blocks further and within easy walking distance. Live amongst the locals and truly feel at home during your visit!

Best Place Ever

Review Submitted: 11/16/11
Our four person family stayed here in August, 2010. It was absolutely perfect. We have stayed in a number of VRBO homes all of the US. This is the best. Short walk from Union Station (don't bother taking a cab, as we did), several block walk to the Capitol. Delightfully appointed. Clean. Wonderfully restored old row house. David is a superb host. It will be our first choice when we return to DC.

Every year, I take my grown kids & their spouses on a vacation by renting a spot thru VRBO. Must say this was our best vacation ever. The house was even better than expected & the kitchen was equipped with the top of the line gas stove so we cooked every evening. Being only a block from Union Station made catching the Metro a breeze. I will recommend your house to anyone going to Washington D.C. for a vacation, truly felt right at home when we walked in the door!

Capitol Hill Rowhouse

We stayed here in the middle of an historic heatwave for DC (mid-July), but the home was always a welcome reprieve. So convenient to Union Station and The Metro, and all the restaurants and food court of the Station, plus a very fun Capitol Bikeways bicycle rental on "our" side of the Station, which we used for a fun ride down the Mall and around the Tidal Basin on a day it hit 105 degrees! Fun restaurants in the neighborhood, walk to the US Capitol for your congressional tours, Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, board at Union Station for your evening open-top bus tour, etc.... David was a gracious host, we only wish we would have seen him more often so our boys could talk more with him about his career and experiences. It was also great to have a washer and dryer, we were going through so many clothes in the heat! We had a delightful time, and this home was part of it.

My husband, daughter and two cats were lucky enough to stay at this beautiful Washington DC home in February this year (I intended to write earlier but life got in the way). This home is everything you could want in a rental. First and foremost the home owner, David, was wonderful to deal with- helpful and reliable. One of the main reasons we will definitely rent here again is that dealing with David was such a great experience! Additionally, the location was an excellent base for getting around DC with its location within walking distance to the Capitol. As for the condition of the home, it is every bit as beautiful as the pictures show, and was an extremely comfortable spot to come back to at the end of each day. As a matter of fact, David's renovation of the row house was so well done, I may borrow some ideas when we renovate our master bath. Bottom line, you won't be sorry if you rent here! Thanks again, David for all of your help!

My wife and I along with another couple enjoyed our June stay at this beautiful home. The home is historic, well appointed and so very convenient. We literally traveled all over D.C. without ever driving a car or hailing a cab. The Metro is so close and convenient. This property is a lot of value for the money! If I have the option I will always stay here when I visit D.C.

Review Submitted: 06/18/11
Stayed here with some friends a few weeks ago and we found the place to be everything that was advertised and agree with the good reviews posted. We walked everywhere - Union Station is only a block away and a few blocks the other way are several good restaurants (highly recommend Cafe Berlin), a little market for any food needs, and a wine/beer store as well. The neighborhood was pleasant and quiet, and the owner, David, was very easy to work with. There's a deck out back that even in the summer is cool in the morning. Highly recommend this rental!

A Second Visit

Review Submitted: 04/04/11
I just completed my second visit to David's townhouse, the visits being 2 years apart. This time I came with 2 other couples. We walked all over DC for 4 days, each day welcoming the return to David's comfortable place. We ate breakfast three days in the townhouse but Ebenezer's coffee was very handy! Three of the four nights we had carry-out for dinner, always ready to rest and relax instead of waiting to be seated in a restaurant. We tried. Bistro Italiano, Toscano's, Armand's Pizza, and Dangerously Delicious Pies! All were great. Thanks again, David, for another great visit. We hope to come again!

Five Stars At A Three Star Price
Guest: Designer and her Foodie Family
(Park City, UT)
Date of Stay: 08/08/10
Review Submitted: 08/23/10
This family of two adults and two teens agrees with all other reviews on, comfort, decor, cleanliness, local ... over all, a beautiful home. One visitor wrote in David's guest book that this home is a five star residence at a three star price. This is so true, considering it's three bedrooms, 2 1/2 top of the line baths, (2 incredible showers,) full gourmet kitchen and very quiet location. David was out of town during our stay, but still checked in with us to make sure all was well. Thank you David! Foodie Family recommendations: Founding Farmers (American organic gourmet ... owned by several area farmers. Foggy bottom area, $$$ ... make reservations several days in advance or prepare for a very long wait.) Good Eats Burgers (Capitol Hill, GREAT burgers, and BEST veggie burger ever. $)

If in Washington DC you must stay here!

There is no better place to stay in DC than this residence! Stop searching VRBO right now and book it. Our vacation was one of the best ever and it is due in part to this wonderful home. As you will see in all of the other reviews, the home itself is immaculate and it can't possibly be in a better location. When you come to the end of a long day in DC the last thing you want to do is be cramped in a hotel room. After hoofing it to every monument, government building, and/or museum there is nothing better than having a beer or glass of wine, stretched out on the couch in the living room or cruising on the deck. If you book this place, enjoy the shower in the master bathroom. The house is kid friendly. We brought our three year old and the steps were a little steep for her but just keep an eye on your kids. Union Station is just around the corner and provides every kind of take out food you can think of. It also has a Metro stop, tourist buses, and rental cars. Also around the corner is a market for all the amenities (beer, wine, and coffee). The area is very safe. Its Capitol Hill and there is security on every corner. We can't say enough about David, the owner, and his trustee sidekick Marley. David had all the answers and helped make our stay one to remember. To sum it up this place will be our home away from home when visiting Washington DC. Thanks David and Marley.

Excellent Vacation Rental in Every Respect!

Review Submitted: 05/24/10
Three friends and I stayed in this exceptional row house for four nights in early March, 2010. It was everything we expected and more. The house has been beautifully renovated by its owner who just happens to live in the basement apartment beneath the house. There was no thought or money spared on creating a warm, sophisticated renovation of a classic Capitol Hill row house --- the photos do not do it justice. We found the house immaculately clean, well appointed and decorated, and in a prime location less than two blocks from Union Station and a leisurely 10-minute walk from The U.S. Capitol. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all well-appointed and comfortable places to relax after a long day of sightseeing (or business in D.C.) The bedrooms are furnished with very comfortable beds and the bathrooms are ultra-modern and come with hotel-style soaps, shampoo, and fluffy white towels. After purchasing basic groceries at a well-stocked market/convenience store two blocks away, we were able to prepare all of our breakfasts and two of our dinners in the gourmet kitchen. Several balmy evenings, we enjoyed the large (20 foot x 20 foot) private elevated wood deck in the rear yard --- a quiet courtyard in the midst of a very busy city! The owner joined us for refreshments and conversation, and made us all feel very welcome to be there. Check-in and check-out was a breeze, and our security deposit was returned in a timely fashion. The house is perfect for a family of up to six or several couples and/or friends looking for a beautiful accommodation in a city known for its outrageously expensive hotels. If you are looking for great value, a comfortable and spacious home, and the perfect location in our nation's capital, this is the property for you. You will not be disappointed!
