About this property
Delightful 1 bdrm/2 bed in center of Capitol Hill.
You’re going to love our bright and cozy 1-bedroom English Basement, in a 100+-year-old rowhouse at the center of historic Capitol Hill.
Everything you want to see/do is close by, and our neighborhood offers plenty of restaurants/bars for your recovery. Walk everywhere, take the bus around the corner, walk 15 minutes to the Red or Orange/Silver/Blue lines, or grab a bike at the bikeshare.
The unit has everything you need to enjoy your time in DC--just bring a good pair of walking shoes. Coming for work? You're a 10-minute walk to the Capitol.
*** YOUR APARTMENT
The apartment features a Queen size bed, and a surprisingly comfy Urban Essentials Queen size sofa. Fast internet and a desk is there if you need to do some work. We also have YouTube TV, Amazon Prime, and Netflix on the TV.
The kitchen has a microwave, 2-burner hot plate, toaster, and coffee maker/Keurig. (Just no oven, so if you’re planning a big dinner it might be a problem--I mean, who wants to cook a full meal when you’re in DC?)
You will have your own private access just 3 steps down from the street, with your own electronic code for keyless entry. *** KIDS We like 'em. We haven't toddler-proofed the apartment, but if there is anything you need we will try to help. Capitol Hill is a family area, and we have several parks just a short walk away. *** THE NEIGHBORHOOD For coffee/breakfast, Jacob’s Coffee is just a block away and you can walk to H Street NE, Eastern Market, or 8th St SE (Barracks Row) for a relaxing night out; all are walkable.
You will find Eastern Market a delightful place to see the less-touristy part of DC, mingling with the locals on weekends to browse the flea market or visit the historic indoor market. Evening walks around the Capitol and down the Mall truly are wonderful.
Street parking is available/free if you’re driving (we will give you a 24/7 pass)—or use Uber/Lyft to let someone else do the driving. *** MEENA AND JON As hosts, we are here for you. If you need something to make your trip easier or just some advice about the town (you gotta do the Library of Congress). We are glad to help. At the same time, the place is yours, and we’re not going to bug you if you're working, or just want privacy. *** COMING EARLY/STAYING LATE? If we can, we will accommodate you, though we are regularly booked and that will limit options. However, if you're coming in early or staying late, we are happy to keep your luggage in our home (upstairs).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The host requires you complete the following before checking out:
We are happy to hold your bags upstairs if you are staying in town after the 10 am checkout. But please let us know ASAP so we can make arrangements to be here.
Please don't do any chores. No need to strip beds/do dishes, or anything. Getaway day can be stressful, you're our guest, and you don't need to worry about the little stuff.
Please let us know the night before your planned departure time-- it helps the cleaning folks juggle their day. And please send us a note when you check out so I can give them the go-ahead.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

It was a great place on Capitol Hill. Within walking distance of the US Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court and other notable places. The hosts were very nice and communicated to make sure we had all we needed. This was only one stop on our vacation and it was nice to have available the Washer and Dryer. The welcome gift was nice and made us feel like we were at home.
wonderful place - I had a challenge figuring how to unlock door but owner responded almost immediately and walked me through it - the lock could use a light to help locate.Overall an excellent experience - neighborhood very tranquil and parking was easy.
We had a wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from start to finish. The apartment was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. One of the best parts was the hassle-free checkout process—no chores required, which we really appreciated. Parking was taken care of as well. We would highly recommend these hosts to anyone looking for a relaxing and easy stay in DC.
We had a great time! This property is on a major bus route and in walking distance to the Capitol. It had the comforts of home, which we appreciated!! Our time was restful!! Kudos to Jon, he’s a gem and very accommodating! Thanks Jon!! You will enjoy your stay there!!
The host was very responsive and accommodating. You can not beat the location! We were able to park our SUV on the street (for free!) and walked everywhere. We walked to the Capital, and as far as the Lincoln Memorial. The neighborhood was very safe to walk, even after dark, and it was cool to experience the neighborhood as a local would. It had everything we needed, soap (body, dish, laundry), large fridge, comfortable bed/sofa sleeper, just to name a few, and it even had a bidet toilet seat! I would definitely recommend this place. I traveled with my husband and two eleven year old twins.
We couldn’t have asked for better hosts. Their home is well equipped and has everything needed for the whole family. Their location is walking distance to restaurants & a beautiful neighborhood for a morning stroll to the coffee shop a block away. The metro to landmarks is easily accessible and no need to rent a vehicle. We loved our stay and will return again.
Great stay! The sheets were soft and the shower was hot! Great communication. Clean. Close to everything we wanted to see. Clear directions for arrival, check in, and departure. Everything worked and the stay was easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Very nice, quiet location. Clean. Has all necessary conveniences (TV, WiFi, full kitchen, washer/dryer, soap/detergent, etc.)Timely communication with the host.Overall very happy.Hint: entrance is downstairs. After entering the code, press the "Ultraloq" button on the bottom of the keypad and wait until the lock fully opens AND the button turns green.
Beautiful neighborhood. Cozy home! Pillows & bed super comfy! Excellent hospitality! Property owner was friendly and remained attentive throughout our stay! We had a wonderful visit to DC despite the government shutdown.

Thanks so much for staying in our apartment, and for the kind review. We're happy you were able to adjust your plans a bit, and see a bit of the less known parts of our wonderful city.
The accommodations were delightful, comfortable, the host thought of everything, and it’s in a great area, and John communicated everything we needed. Definitely would stay here again.
