Modern House in Historic Capitol Hill, Steps to Capitol &Metro

Year Purchased: 2004

Why the Owner Chose Washington

We chose this house because we love the Capitol Hill neighborhood. It is located so close to many DC attractions, yet still maintains a quiet, friendly neighborhood feeling.

A
The U.S. Capitol

What more can one say? This is the U.S. Capitol, the hub of government, and one of the most famous DC attractions.

B
Eastern Market

During the week, this historic market serves fresh meats, produce, seafood, pasta, poultry, baked goods and cheese from around the world. On weekends the Eastern Market farmer's line brings harvest

E
8th Street - restaurant and bar corridor

8th Street has transformed into a busy strip of bars and restaurants suitable for all palates and all wallets

F
Metro station - Capitol South

If you're tired of walking, our nearest Metro station is located on the other end of the block

 

Owner's Map of Washington

Dear guest,
We purchased this historic house in 2004, and spent a year gutting and renovating it, trying to maintain its historic character while introducing modern living. We live two blocks away from the house, and are always there to help when you need something.

    • Talk about being away from home, you would love this place. Amazing, 2 parks across the road, lots of fun in the park. Parked our car on arrival, never moved it until check-up. Tuff to find a place like this one. We had our daughter and son-in-law, with us, we all had a grand time. I read in one of the reviews, "the only disappointment was could not stay any longer," I agree to that quote. Nice kitchen, dining area, living room all in one. Plenty of closet space, convenient to everything, and a SAFE Place to say. Everyone gave us scare tactics before we left for DC. That was all it was, we were out till 8:30 one evening. I have had more hello's and smile's than I have seen in years. Very nice place, we shall return. Thank you DC for a grand time. Donald and Joanne

    • Self-catering is usually our normal method of travel. An exception to this is Washington, D.C. where until recently there has been a void in a self-catering places in a good location and in our price range. So we were thrilled to find Boaz's wonderful row house in Capitol Hill. The neighborhood is delightful and safe. The property is across the street from Folger Park where neighbors play with their children and walk their dogs. The property itself is lovely inside and outside. There's a small well planted front yard with table and chairs. We sit out one evening with a glass of wine and neighbors stopped to chat. Inside is completely renovated in a modern motif that doesn't detract from the row house style. Everything was ready for us and the house was immaculate with lovely bed and bath linens........and a wonderful large walk-in shower with all the bells and whistles. And, the kitchen had every modern convenience enabling us to prepare gourmet meals with purchases from the local markets. Boaz was available by cell phone anytime we needed him. Another important feature for us is that the metro system was a block from the property. We could get anywhere we wanted quickly.....in fact, we just parked the car (a courteous parking pass was supplied by Boaz) and didn't move it again until we were ready to leave. So much was in walking distance.....great restaurants (Boaz gave us a nice list of local places), shopping and many of the best attractions like the Smithsonian and the Monuments...if you like a good healthy walk. The WWII Memorial is about 1 1/2 miles which was a great walk the evening we arrived after being in the car for 8 hours. But, again the metro can get you anywhere...even Arlington National Cemetery. Boaz, we look forward to staying with you again and we highly recommend your lovely property to others. Best wishes, Donna & Ray

    • We had a great 4-day visit and would highly recommend this property. It's centrally located within walking distance to the Capitol, the Library of Congress and 2 blocks from a metro stop. The owner has done a beautiful job renovating the house - it was a pleasure to visit, and we would definitely rent again when in the area.

    • We are VRBO old-timers and are delighted to know Boaz and to work with him in the VRBO community. Boaz is a terrific host and great to work with. The house has beautiful views of the park across the street and is very quiet. Comfy beds with all of the expected perks. A wonderful location - so convenient - and a lovely spot in which to entertain our family members who also were in town. Love the cosmopolitan feel of the house away from the tourists. Thank you, Boaz!

    • My family and I greatly enjoyed our stay near Capitol Hill. The apartment was perfect for us, with all the amenities. It is very tastefully decorated and equipped with the highest quality appliances. It was quiet, spacious and clean. Just a 2 minute walk from the metro station and 5 minutes from Capitol Hill, it is a perfect location for sightseeing. I highly recommend the apartment to visiting families.

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The set-up was great for the six of us--three adults and three boys. In particular, we took full advantage of the kitchen for eating breakfast and preparing for the day in DC. The location is very convenient to Capitol, National Mall, and the metro is only two blocks away. A real bonus is that the owners are very conscientious and extremely helpful. Great place.

    • This was our first experience using VRBO and we were not disappointed. The modern house on Capitol Hill exceeded our expectations and was well suited for our family of four. It is a charming home in a historic neighborhood of brick lined sidewalks, close to neighborhood restaurants and grocery stores. We felt right at home during our first visit to Washington DC as a family. It was also very convenient to the metro and only a short walk to the Capital and Library of Congress sites. The interior of the house is open and light filled and includes all of the conveniences of modern living, providing a tasteful blend of old and new architecture. Boaz was a terrific and accommodating host, offering plenty of suggestions for places to eat and shop. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the neighborhood, and will be back.

    • This is a great house. It's very comfortable for a couple or a couple with a child; it's within easy walking distance of the Capitol; and it's close to restaurants and markets. There is a metro stop 2 minutes away. This is a very safe neighborhood with pleasant parks across the street. Finally, Boaz was a very accomodating and helpful host, and I will certainly stay here again.
