About this property

One Block to Library of Congress- Capitol Hill-English Basement

English basement studio of this newly rebuilt town house is in Capitol Hill Historic district. This efficiency basement room has one queen bed with one shower (full bath) and a sleeper sofa (full /almost queen bed), with all amenities you could need, including a kitchen, microwave, oven, dishwasher and washer/dryer combo. There are utensils, pots, pans, plates, knives and everything you will need in a kitchen. Hair dryer, towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, iron, ironing board are also provided. Flat screen TV and internet connection are provided too.

Located just 3 blocks from the Capitol, 4 blocks from the Supreme Court, and a little more than one block from the Library of Congress, this property is in a very safe neighborhood with easy street parking. We will provide temporary parking permit for street parking if guests give us the tag number and state of registration before arrival. The Mall, Smithsonian museums, and other popular tourist attractions are within walking distance. In addition, there are two and a half blocks of a wide variety of restaurants, bars, stores and banks just one block away from the house.

Also just moments away, guests can find bus stops and bike share station to explore the city. There are also two metro stations (Eastern Market and Capitol South) only 3 and a half and 4 blocks away. Nationals baseball park is a little more than a mile away.

We take safety seriously. There are three different kinds of carbon monoxide alarm in the basement and fire sprinkler (concealed under round plates on the ceiling). People who want to be green can rejoice as Solar panels power the house. There is a separate thermostat for the basement for you to control the temperature. Entrance is separate from the main house and has keyless lock.

Thank you very much to the guests who stayed with us and gave us nice reviews.
