125 Year Old Rowhouse Near Union Market / National Mall / Museums & Restaurants

3 blocks to Union Market and 5 blocks to Red Line Metro. We are close to all that Union Market, Capitol Hill, and the H Street Corridor have to offer.

Our home is over 125 years old, but we have lovingly restored it without gutting the charm out of it. You'll find all the modern amenities in a classic wrapper. Combining marble, glass, granite, stainless, and even original hearts of pine wood flooring on the 2nd floor to create warm and beautiful spaces. Stay in a piece of history in a city steeped in history.

Guests will have the run of the main home on floors 1 and 2 (there is a separate apartment on the garden level that is used by my family on occasion). The home has 3 bedrooms upstairs (All 3 with Queen Beds) and one queen sofa Sleeper on the first floor. It also has three full baths. One in the primary bedroom and 1 in the hallway upstairs and a full bath on the 1st floor too! Finally, it has 3 Flat Screen TVs. One 46" big screen TV in the 1st floor living room and a 2nd TV in the Master Bedroom. Both also have Blue Ray/DVD players. And then we also have a 32" flat screen in the 2nd biggest Bedroom. All 3 of those TVs feature Roku Streaming devices (user must have accounts to take advantage of some of the channels like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc). We also have FIOS high speed broadband wireless internet, a fully equipped kitchen, and outdoor deck and patio with a propane gas grill.

We are close to everything in Capitol Hill monument and museum-wise ...either by the Red Line Metro (subway), by bus, or by car. (You don't really need a car, thanks to the various public transportation options, including the Capitol Bike Share system). There is a bus line on Florida Ave. 1/2 block away and on K St. two blocks south.
Union Market (2 blocks away) is a great place to hang out, get coffee, fantastic food at the multiple restaurants and food kiosks, and even fish, meat, vegetables, and fabulous gourmet delicacies. The wine selection and prices at the Italian specialty store Litteri 1 1/2 blocks away is also fantastic (and they do a great sub/hoagie sandwich)! I will also provide a more comprehensive set of restaurant recommendations upon booking.
Just to the south, H St. is full of cool bars and restaurants and is only 4 blocks away, but far enough to avoid the noise and the crowds (it also happens to have a free trolley car running east and west,

The Red Line Metro (DC's subway) is only 5 blocks west, Bus lines at Florida Ave. (1/2 block away), K St. 2 blocks south, or H St. 4 blocks south. Convenient to Balt/Wash Parkway, Rt. 295, and Rt. 395.

We can interact as much as our guests would like to interact with us. We have a second home about an hour away and a guest apartment below the home that we sometimes stay in. If we are there we can interact personally if the guests would like to. Otherwise, we are quite responsive to text/email/phone for questions and/or advice. English is our native tongue, but between us we speak a bit of French and a bit of Spanish. We love showing off our city and the many sights, sounds, and aromas you can find in it. Let us help you plan a day according to your likes, interests, and the amount of time you have available.

We'd like people to treat our home as if it were their own...be comfortable, but respectful. Absolutely NO Smoking is allowed in on our home please and NO pets of any kind. You may smoke on the back patio if you need to. Our severely autistic child is deathly allergic to cigarette smoke and dog dander/hair. Please, Please, Please, DO NOT SMOKE ANYTHING in Our Home. Security deposit funds will be used to professionally clean our home if you smoke in it. Thank you in advance for respecting this rule :)

The location worked for our visit. I appreciated the roominess of the rowhouse. Some amenities were nice to have such as ice in trays, extra paper towels, bath towels in rooms. It may be helpful to get the salt and pepper shakers filled along with other basics for guests.The unit has character with many needed upgrades due to age. Unfortunately we had an issue with bed bugs and had to wash the bedding in larger bedroom. My right foot and leg were devoured by them.

Perfect accommodations for a visit to DC!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were able to walk to a variety of restaurants and grocery stores and were just a short LYFT ride to all the attractions that DC has to offer. Greg was a great host, providing us with a lot of great information on local sites and how to get around the city. We enjoyed being able to make meals at the house and sit out on the back patio to relax!

Great location

We loved being able to walk to the national mall as well as buy groceries for our stay from this location. The place was clean and homey. Greg was great to communicate with and responded quickly to some tourist questions we had. We would definitely recommend this VRBO to family and friends. The only tricky part was the parking, but that pretty much goes with any big city.

Made for a great trip

Location was excellent with a 10 minute walk to the Metro and reasonably quiet streets. Living room was super comfortable for 4 adults and 3 teenagers. Kitchen appliances were very nice but could have used some cooking utensils and other accessories. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would rent again!

This vrbo provided the perfect vacation spot for a grandkid trip to Washington DC. The location made it easy to connect by Metro to all the sites we wanted to see.

Great historic home in the middle of D.C.

My family loved this home and location. The owner was always available for any questions we had and also had some really great advice for getting around the city easily, at an affordable rate. The house was roomy and had everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this rental home for anyone staying in the D.C. area. Thanks for everything.

Overall the stay was pleasant. The property was in great condition. They supplied everything to create a home away from home experience. My only concern was that either the property owner or a guest who stayed before us censored the conservative television channels on the TV, including FOX News and FOX Business.
