Capitol Hill Row Home: 1 Block to Metro and Groceries -- and has Garage!

This three bedroom row house was built in the early 1900’s, but has been fully renovated and equipped with solar power. With all modern conveniences, you can relax at home or head out the see the sights. The Metro is just a block away! A brand new Safeway is one block away. The U.S. Capitol is 14 blocks away––you can walk, jump on a bus, Uber/Lyft, or take the Metro. It also has its own garage, a rarity on Capitol Hill. Step out the door and the city awaits, and after a long day of exploring, relax in your new home-away-from-home. It is the perfect house for your city explorations!

The owner (and her partner) live in the basement of the house. Access to the downstairs living quarters is in the back yard so you may see them coming and going from time to time, but there is no direct connection between upstairs and downstairs. Nor do the downstairs residents use any of the amenities in the main house, so the rental is completely private.

Fantastic location!
The house was well appointed, in a great neighborhood and the proximity to the Metro was great! We basically slept and ate breakfast there but it worked great for our family of 4. Close to the sites. The Eastern Market was nearby and a great place to eat. Would stay here again if we went back to DC.

Great place for family reunion
Six septuagenarian sibling/spouses stayed here. Enjoyed the house, the backyard and the proximity to museums and mall. Check in and out were a breeze. Only caveat or caution would be to note that stairs in this age house are steep if anyone in your party has mobility issues.

Fabulous Week!
Three friends visiting the sights in DC, and we had a wonderful time. The house was perfect…spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, updated bathrooms, and spacious kitchen. After exhausting days of walking, we enjoyed cocktails on the patio, having been to the very close Safeway that had everything we could possibly need. Our host was very communicative and accommodating. Definitely a 5 star!

Great place in DC
Wonderful home in DC close to downtown area. Really had everything one could need. We enjoyed coming back from a busy day and having the space to lounge a little. The garage is a great addition to ensure parking but definitely takes a little skill getting in and out. Would definitely recommend this home.

Pictures were taken awhile back. A centipede was on the stairs. Good size one. A package was stolen from the front door. Mold was caulked over in the shower. The best thing about the place was the location.

Civic lessons
Location and house were great. One block to a Safeway and one block to the Metro. Only issue was a car illegally packed in alley making it difficult to get out. Not the owner's fault. great weather and easy to get around. Nice neighborhood. Easy to work with owner.

Great location in DC SE neighborhood
My sisters and I met to celebrate their two big birthdays in January. We chose this location as it had 3 bedrooms and a garage. The home was perfect for our needs, well appointed kitchen, very comfortable beds, two full bathrooms and easy access to the Metro. We enjoyed two wonderful restaurants within walking distance of the home. Catching an Uber was a breeze. The location is in a quiet neighborhood yet only 9 blocks from the Capital. The home owner provided a very thorough welcome book which was very helpful. We highly recommend it.

One of the best rentals we've ever had
This was a fabulous VRBO for our party of seven (two adults, one teen, and four elementary-age kids). Our only hiccup was that the blow up mattress didn't seem to be functioning, but the property manager was responsive and helpful, and we quickly found a solution. If I'm being nitpicky, I could say they could use a few more spoons (but spoons wander from many houses). Otherwise, the house was clean, warm, welcoming, functional, and had everything we needed. Will definitely try to rent this place again if we ever return to DC.

Mostly perfect
We loved this property and would stay there again. Very quaint and clean. Comfortable beds. It was so handy to do a load of laundry midway. We also appreciated how easily we could get to all the local attractions. And the grocery store one block away was a nice bonus! Our only constructive feedback is that there weren’t enough of the basic household necessities. In particular, there were no spare garbage bags, the dish soap was almost gone, and we were on our last roll of toilet paper the morning we departed. These were small issues but worth noting.

Excellent, convenient place to stay
Considering how expensive hotel rooms are in DC, this house is a great value and super convenient. I'd stay here again in a minute. There were 7 of us staying in the house for 3 nights...my wife, our adult daughter and her husband and 3 grandchildren - aged 10 - 12. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths -- so it was a bit tight with 7. One grandchild slept on the down stairs sofa. The location is awesome. It is about a 3 minute walk to the Potomac Ave Metro - which is on 3 main lines. In fact, we flew into Dulles (which the silver line now runs to) and it was a super convenient and cheap way to get into the city. Didn't even need to change trains. There are great restaurants nearby. The Mexican place on Pennsylvania Ave is very good. The Roost is unique. It's like a relatively small, high end, trendy food court with about 5-6 food options. Go the other way (north) one block and there is a beautiful new Safeway. All in all a great place to stay. My one minor complaint would be that the house is old and the stairs and upstairs hallway creak! I was afraid I'd wake someone up -- although I don't think I did.

The perfect house for exploring DC with family
My husband and I hosted my niece and her family for a week at this house. It was perfect. A quiet neighborhood with close both the metro and a Safeway grocery store within a block. The house was just as described with a wonderful welcome book filled with great information. Alec was very responsive from beginning to end. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Place; Great Location
My family of four came to DC for part of my kids' fall break. The property is in a great location with a Safeway and Metro stop super close. Great restaurants located one Metro stop away (Eastern Market). We loved Ted's Bulletin! Also enjoyed lunch/brunch at Tunnicliff's Tavern and Mr. Henry's Restaurant. We took the Metro, Uber, and walked from the Supreme Court to the White House to the Lincoln Memorial and everything in between. Again, the place was perfect for what we needed. It was safe, it was clean, and we had a blast. I'm sure your family will as well!!

Great space, great location
Our family had a great experience and really appreciated the location. So close to the metro, grocery store, and restaurants. There was plenty of space for our family and we appreciated the washer and dryer. Huge shoutout to Darwin, the basement tenant/handyman that picked up basics for us that weren’t stocked. We appreciated his attentiveness! Alec, the property manager was easy to communicate with and we would happily stay again.
