About this property

Sunny, Downtown, Roomy Apt/Free Parking/Sleeps 5!

This clean, large, light-filled, heart-of-historic Capitol Hill apartment comes with everything! A locked, gated courtyard leads to this fabulous, separate entrance apartment. Guests arrive to find a well-equipped kitchen (full-size, with granite counters) stocked with staples including coffee, tea, honey, spices and cooking oils, fresh linens on the beds and clean, plush towels in the bathroom. Cable, Wi-Fi, 32-inch flat-screen TV, washer/dryer, iron/ironing board, hair dryer, independent heating and cooling system and free off-street parking are also included. With a grocery store two blocks away, and an eat-in kitchen that seats four to five, guests have the choice of cooking or going out to any of the Hill's many restaurants. After a full day of sight-seeing, guests can sleep on the queen-size memory foam mattress in the master bedroom, and shower in the attached bathroom. For parties of more than two, the living room daybed w/trundle sleeps two. A comfy roll-away bed is also available, as well as a baby crib, high-chair or booster seat. Please note that the only bathroom is accessed through the master bedroom. The apartment is in a lovely neighborhood. Part of the original Capitol Hill, guests are easily able to walk to the Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, National Mall, Smithsonian museums, Union Station and Union Station Metro. Just yards from the apartment is historic Stanton Park: for runners, 8 laps of the park is a mile. For parents of young children, Stanton Park has a gated playground. The neighborhood is also home to Capital Bikeshare stations, bookstores, corner stores, grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, the famous Eastern Market and a fabulous weekend flea market. Everything else in Washington, from the National Zoo to the Nationals' ball park, the White House, Ford's Theater, Chinatown, Georgetown, Arlington Cemetery, can be reached by Metro or the Circulator bus.

Please note our other VRBO properties -- 698259 is across the patio from the apartment.

My family of five (2 adults and 3 kids under 12) enjoyed our stay here. The location was excellent to be able to walk or take the metro. The apartment was clean and had what we needed, but please be aware that this is an apartment in an old home. There are some things that are worn out or quirky, but we felt safe and the space was clean, quiet, and family friendly. The host responded to questions/requests, and the free parking was right there by the apartment entrance.

Great place to stay for DC visit

My wife and our 21 year old son stayed here for its close proximity to all the DC must see places, it didn’t let us down. The location is outstanding as it lies within a 15 min walk to the metro and a 12 minute walk to the nations capital. The historic house is located within a very nice and safe neighborhood and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. Off street parking is available so we parked our car and didn’t use it our entire visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Excellent place to stay near all that the capital has to offer. Very easy to walk to most places. We walked back after the July 4th fireworks from the wharf with the kids who are 11 and 12. It’s only a 15 minute walk to the union station as well as 10 to the capital building area. Uber was helpful and easy to get in this area as well. Highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay! Neighborhood felt safe. Able to park our car their the entire stay and then walk 20-30 minutes to Museums. The Union Pub was only a 9 minute walk and had delicious food!The place itself was clean, plenty of bedding, towels, full kitchen, laundry. They even had a little fan in the bedroom, which I appreciated. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Easy Access to the Area

The basement apartment was exactly as advertised. The location is great - easy to access Union Station & the capital. The house is on the corner with a light, so occasionally some road noise when cars rev off, but nothing that isn't expected in city living/staying.

About the host

Hosted by Katy Kelly

Host profile image
The Kelly family is the second family to live in the main house, which was built in 1876 by Maj. Samuel Walker for his family.

Why they chose this property

One of the premier properties on Capitol Hill, the carriage house, the stable and the east side of this Victorian house were completed in 1876. By 1886, Maj. Samuel Walker had more money and ten children so he added the west side of the house, the third floor and the porches in the style of Charles Eastlake, the English architect who simplified Victorian architecture and flattened its rounded gingerbread. All of the first floor ceilings—except the hall—are tin and so is a bedroom ceiling on the second floor.

What makes this property unique

One of the great pleasures of the house is that it remains much as it was when first built. Modernizing was done slowly, with care and caution. On the chance that electricity was just a fad, Major Walker only electrified every other arm of the chandeliers in the living room and the study and left the others as gas lights. The gaslights still work--and so does the electricity.
