About this property

Capitol Hill Row Home: 1 Block to Metro and Groceries -- and has Garage!

This three bedroom row house was built in the early 1900’s, but has been fully renovated and equipped with solar power. With all modern conveniences, you can relax at home or head out the see the sights. The Metro is just a block away! A brand new Safeway is one block away. The U.S. Capitol is 14 blocks away––you can walk, jump on a bus, Uber/Lyft, or take the Metro. It also has its own garage, a rarity on Capitol Hill. Step out the door and the city awaits, and after a long day of exploring, relax in your new home-away-from-home. It is the perfect house for your city explorations!

The owner (and her partner) live in the basement of the house. Access to the downstairs living quarters is in the back yard so you may see them coming and going from time to time, but there is no direct connection between upstairs and downstairs. Nor do the downstairs residents use any of the amenities in the main house, so the rental is completely private.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a wonderful girls weekend! It is a great space and the location is perfect, in a quiet neighborhood yet a block from the Metro and grocery/liquor store. The host left the grocery savings card and multiple refillable metro cards for our convenience. We used what was there, refilled and left whatever balance for the next guests. Alec responded quickly and allowed us to arrive a bit early. Great space that I would recommend and stay again!

We enjoyed our stay and the location is easy access to the metro and a Safeway, the kitchen is well appointed. The owner was terrific to work with and quickly resolved the issue we had with a shower head. The biggest downside was bathroom location. While both bathrooms have been nicely renovated the one downstairs is extremely tiny and narrow. The shower is big but getting up from the toilet will take skill if you are a larger person, and even using the sink you will likely bump against the wall. All bedrooms are upstairs and are roomy enough, but all could use higher quality linens and new mattresses. There are blinds on all the windows but the addition of blackout curtains would allow for better sleep. We felt safe enough in the neighborhood but grooming for the small yard has been neglected.

About the host

Hosted by Alec Smyth

Host profile image
About the Owner
I moved to Washington DC in 1980 to save the world. Unfortunately, the world could still use quite a bit of help! I, however, couldn't get enough of DC and never left. I met my husband in 1981 and we have lived in the city ever since. We fell in love with Capitol Hill and raised our three kids here. We love the area and want to share it with others.

About the Manager
Alec has decades of experience as a management consultant, which involved way too much travel and hospitality experience (approximately 200 flights per year.) In 2003 he started renting out the family's second home on an online platform, a brand new business model at the time. Over the years that activity grew into a future retirement plan with the addition of more properties, all of which are located on Capitol Hill and must pass a simple test... Would they be a place Alec and his family would enjoy staying themselves?

Why they chose this property

Washington DC is a great place to spend time. The city is compressed, so you can get anywhere is a short time, and the neighborhoods surrounding the house (Barrack's Row and Eastern Market) have a ton of local restaurants and shops, little parks and things to do. With the house being just one block from the Metro, you have quick access to the entire city! This house is modern, family-friendly, and large enough to sleep up to 8 people (excluding the couches).

What makes this property unique

The house has been updated with a more open layout, beautiful new furniture, 2 flat screen TVs, 2 clean and new bathrooms, a lovely front porch and a family-ready backyard. We have great public transportation (the Potomac Ave. Metro is just one block away, and the Circulator Bus picks up on Potomac Ave as well. They go where the tourists go.) and the city is largely flat, so it is perfect for walking and cycling. In this house you can entertain friends, snuggle up and watch a movie, BBQ in the yard or walk six blocks to the Eastern Market/Barrack's Row area, where there are dozens of restaurants and small shops.
