About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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).
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be within walking distance of Smithsonian Institution. Enjoy features like laundry facilities. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the apartment.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with kitchen, washing machine, and Smart TV
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities

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.

Jon helped us immediately we got to the apartment as we didnt read the instructions correctly on how to enter the apartment. The apartment was excellent with everything catered for. We felt extremely safe in the area with friendly neighbours. The location is ideal for those who want to visit The Mall and its attractions. Thank you Jon for a wonderful stay at your house.

Nothing Better Than This!

First the owners are very easy to reach and help you with anything you need. It was private and serene. It had everything I needed. Its cultural splash of DC and reading material provided a real home feel. I even left some things and the owner mailed it to me. In these days and times, its hard to find owners who genuinely work hard to make sure your stay is comfortable. Definitely my go to when I am in DC.

This neighborhood is amazing and safe. Jon was so great at communicating with us and taking care of us while we were there! We Ubered to the national mall two days in a row. I do wish it was closer to a metro but we understood that it wasn’t when we booked it. Parking is a little hairy if you are late getting back but Jon again took care of us at 11pm at night! The ac had a very tiny issue and Jon came and checked it out for us and had someone there looking at it the next morning. Jon is one of the best hosts we’ve had at any Vrbo location. Thank you for sharing your beautiful apartment with us. We hope to come back soon!
The apartment is in the basement. Go to the yellow home up the stone steps and then down to the apartment.
Lights outside at night ♥️
The floors are brick and amazing. They are stamped 1924! I would recommend houseshoes 😂. They are amazing but kinda hurt to walk on barefooted.

The host was also kind and I was able to contact him immediately through chat. The host lived upstairs, so there might be some noise between floors, but it was okay. If I go to Washington DC, it's a good place to stay again

I would 10/10 recommend this property to anyone looking to visit D.C. Location is in a neighborhood and about a 15-20 minute walk from the sights which was perfect!

Great location, Wonderful host & Quiet Neighborhood

The host Jon and Ana were wonderful. Everything in the description was accurate. Check-in and check-out was very easy. The apartment was absolutely wonderful. It had everything we could have ever needed. Jacob’s Coffee shop around the corner was a wonderful suggestion as well as Pupatella Neapolitan Pizza. There was also a rental bike station not far to help with our travel around DC. It was perfect and we very much enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay there again! This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. I highly recommend it!!

Great stay

Jon and Ana were wonderful. Very accommodating and helpful. Everything You could need is available. I traveled with my 13 year old son, we felt completely safe walking the neighborhood. Be sure to check out Jacobs Cafe around the corner. We drove in but used Uber for most tripd that were a bit far to walk. Easy walk to capitol building and union station. We used Uber lime scooters in the national mall area. Overall great stay and great hosts! We would definitely stay again if we return.

Perfect stay. The apartment was private, comfortable, clean, and a great location. The host was helpful and friendly. The kitchen was functional and practical. We slept 4 comfortably. Everywhere we wanted to go was a 20 minute walk away, so we saw all the sights. Trader Joe was also close, so we could buy food. Very practical. We’d certainly stay here again

Great apartment

We stayed here for a few days while visiting DC. It was exactly as listed, and Jon was so helpful with any questions we had. It’s right next to a bus stop, and less than 20 minutes for on a metro stop and lots of restaurants. There were 3 of us (two adults and a 7-year-old), and it was the perfect home base for us.

This beautiful home is absolutely perfect. Do yourself a favor and book it now! The owner/host has thought of everything, but should you need anything at all, he is on-site. There are several charging stations with USB and USBC ports. Appliances are new, beds are super comfy. The neighborhood is stunning and completely safe. We would absolutely stay here again!

Well appointed unit in the perfect location! Best VRBO yet!

I can't say enough good things! 1- The pull-out couch really is as comfortable as as the other reviews said! 2- The location is so great! Near the bus line and the subway, but you can also just walk about 15 minutes to the Capitol. 3- They have just about everything you could need. Little things like charging ports, umbrellas to use, a wonderful magnifying mirror, and FANS! We bring our own fans everywhere we go, but we'll know for next time that we don't need them. They had two fans you could use. They also supply a lot of extra pillows and bedding... more than you could want, but it was nice to know it was there. 4- THERE'S A BIDET!!!!! That was the greatest surprise. For those who use them, traveling without one is awful. That helped so much. 5- There are cute little businesses scattered around the neighborhood. Coffee shop very close by, little convenience stores, and restaurants are everywhere. The neighborhood was just wonderful. I could keep going, but honestly, this was the best VRBO stay we've had. I will highly recommend this property and its wonderful hosts to everyone!

Charming Garden Apartment

We recently stayed at this charming apartment. It was clean, it was more than we could anticipate, and the hosts (Jon & Ana) made check-out easy. The location is ideal - it offers a bus stop 5-10 minutes from the location (depending on walking speed, ha). We felt very safe with our children (age 13 and 9). Parking was a non-issue because they offered us a complimentary parking pass, and we had no problems finding a close spot -yay! Also, the pull-out couch is the most comfortable hide-a-bed experience - I feel like that is noteworthy of sharing because that is typically a major issue. We appreciated the kitchenette and having access to a washer/dryer on-site. These small touches enhanced the experience. The hosts are easily accessible and very communicative. We would stay here again and will recommend friends we know traveling to this area to stay here. Thanks for helping us create beautiful memories with our family. We wish we could copy and paste this experience for each time we traveled, honestly. Thank you!
