Located in the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood, this unit features two bedrooms and one bathroom as well as powder room and can comfortably accommodate a family of six. The property—situated within walking distance of the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall—is near the center of the Federal City and offers amenities for a comfortable and memorable stay in one of Washington's oldest and most sought-after neighborhoods.
After Georgetown to the west, Capitol Hill is Washington's oldest neighborhood. In its earliest days, most of the residents were members of Congress who lived in boarding houses and dormitories surrounding the Capitol. As the neighborhood evolved, rowhouses replaced boarding houses and the Hill began to grow as a neighborhood filled with families, as well as Washington's who's who. As you walk around this stately neighborhood, don't be surprised if you see faces you've seen in the news. A number of senators and representatives make their home on the Hill.
In addition to the U.S. Capitol, the Hill includes other significant American landmarks such as the U.S. Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, Union Station, the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks, the Washington Naval Yard, Congressional Cemetery, Lincoln Park, and the Eastern Market. All of these sights are within easy walking distance and most are Metro-accessible on the Orange/Blue line on the southwest side of the Hill and on the Red line through Union Station. Just down the hill from the Capitol is the National Mall with all of the monuments and memorials iconic to Washington, as well as more than 10 museums and galleries of art and artifacts.
To the east of the Capitol is the Eastern Market—one of the only remaining merchant markets left in Washington. While the market bustles during the week, it is on the weekends that it acquires its character and charm as residents from all over the city and visitors from all over the world come to the market to enjoy breakfast; purchase fresh meats, produce, and breads; stroll through the adjacent flea market; and browse the latest art and jewelry crafted by local artists and artisans.
During the spring and summer months, a visit to the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks at 8th and I Streets SE will allow you to see the Marine Corps Silent Drill Team in action. This 24-man rifle platoon performs precision maneuvers with their 10.5 lb M-1 Garand rifles with fixed bayonets.
Over at the U.S. Capitol, the newly opened visitor's center allows visitors to experience the Capitol from the ground up. The center features several state statues in Emancipation Hall and a museum that chronicles the history of the U.S. Capitol from its cornerstone laying in 1789 by George Washington to the present day. Tickets for the Senate and House galleries are available here.
The Library of Congress' Jefferson Building, just across the street from the Capitol, is the world's largest repository of books and media in the world. The building is open to the public and the Renaissance and classical art are breathtaking.
These and other sites make staying on Capitol Hill a must if you're visiting Washington on business or for pleasure.

Best Location-Walk to the Capitol-Historic Capitol Hill
Year Purchased: 2007
Owner's Map of Capitol Hill
We are family owned and operated. From the left meet Kate, Jarek (sister and brother) and our mom Dana.
We have lived in Washington for over ten years and love this cosmopolitan city where people get up every morning and get to work on changing the world. The most powerful people in DC can alter the course of history and try to make the world a better place. It's a city where philosophical debate and advocacy of issues beyond one's own family or pocketbook rule the day; a city where what's going on in one's head is far more important than what one is wearing; a city where people come from all over the world to experience democracy and learn the principles of our free society.
We get visitors from all over the country and the world. Some come for one time visit with their family, others keep coming back number of times a year as we host many repeat guests related to the federal government, foreign embassies and the US State Department. We take great pride in having our unit very clean (our mom cleans it, so you know it’s spotless), conveniently located within walking distance to all shopping, restaurants and Metro.
We want you to enjoy your visit whether it is once in a lifetime trip with your family or monthly visit for work. We are looking forward to hosting you in DC and if there is something we can help with, let us know.

A Historic Time

Washington D.C. is a city rich in history. It is also rich in delicious food, awesome bars, and lots of fun. Our stay on Capitol Hill was fantastic. This condo is in a great, quiet neighborhood, which is an easy walk to the Eastern Market and the Metro, which can put you anywhere in the city in a matter of minutes. It's a great central hub for all the Nation's capital has to offer. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely give Jarek and Kate a call the next time I'm heading to D.C.

Thank you for a very nice place to stay for our week in DC. The property was not fancy, but clean and handy. Kitchen well supplied. We walked to the Capitol and to the Metro, which made it very easy to get around. Since we had a rental car, the parking space was a lifesaver! Lots of nice places to eat within walking distance. The owner was available when we had a question.

Loved the apartment and the neighborhood. We stayed there with 3 teenage kids and we had more then enough space. Very comfortable beds. Maybe a little bit more plates and glasses. If you have breakfast and dinner in the apartment then there were not enough plates for the 5 of us. Unfortunately there was something wrong with the fireplace when we stayed at this apartment so we were not allowed to lit it, which was regrettable. But still I like to give it a 5 star. When we visit Washington again we will definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Capitol Hill condo. We had plenty of room. We were traveling with two adults and two teenagers. It was great to have the two bedrooms and two baths. We found a grocery store close by and saved money by eating breakfast every day at the condo before our day. It was an easy walk to the US Capitol and to the Metro that we took all over the city from the Eastern Market station. The photos reflected the condo. It was clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked. We used the microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher, washer and dryer. We took advantage of the off street parking. We received quick email responses to all of our questions from the owners. I would highly recommend this property!

We consider ourselves Vrbo veterans both domestic and internationally. This was one of the most well stocked, clean, quiet, and roomy place we have stayed in. There were plenty of towels, and tons of storage, remarkable for an old townhouse. It was so nice to not be tripping over our suitcases during our stay. We stayed eight days many of which were during a humid heatwave. The central air was heaven after a long day of seeing the sights. The owners were friendly, helpful, and had an extensive binder of things to do, see, eat, etc. It is about a 15 minute walk either to the Eastern Market metro or to the Union station metro. Many good resaurants are near Eastern Market. The neighborhood was quiet, nice, and safe. We had no qualms walking there in the evening. We would stay there again without hesitation!

It was great to be able to leave behind the museums and attractions and return to a wonderful neighborhood location. This property was very comfortable, with plenty of room for us and our two teen-aged sons. We would recommend Ted's Bulletin on 8th Street as a great place for a bite to eat.

Stayed here 5 nights with our 12 year old daughter. Extremely comfortable home with every amenity you need. Close to the metro and great restaurants. It is a 15 minute or so walk to the Capitol, Library of Congress and Supreme Court. Great, safe neighborhood with wonderful neighbors. We asked for directions, restaurant recommendations of people walking in the area and they were more than happy to help. Maybe the friendliest city/neighborhood we've ever stayed in. Can't say enough good things about the property. Highly recommend.

We stayed here for three nights (two couples) and this property fit our needs perfectly. We enjoyed being able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go, and the metro stop is a few blocks away. We wish we had known about the bike rentals at the metro station earlier - we didn't find out about them until the last day. There are lots of good restaurants nearby. This property is not for individuals with accessablity issues - there are steep stairs and the sidewalks in this older neighborhood are extremely uneven. We will certainly consider renting here again in the future - in fact, I've already given out the information on this property to someone in my office.

We loved this pretty and cozy home and highly recommend it. The location near Eastern Market is perfect. You are only a few blocks away from the handy market and great dining options on Barracks Row. It is just far enough, however, to be very quiet at night. The beds and linens are terrific quality and the entire apartment was spotless. The owners are so professional, organized and reliable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat...hopefully for a longer trip!

This couldn't have been better for us! Absolutley wonderful accommodations within walking distance of Union Station. From there we took the Metro or Circulator anywhere we couldn't walk. I would definitely return to this lovely rowhouse on it's quiet, safe street. Thanks so much!
