♢ HDTV + Roku TV in living room & Master bedroom
♢ Amazon's Alexa at your service on the Echo
♢ High-speed Wi-Fi

Relax in style in this lovely DC home, located just minutes from Capitol Hill and the must-see H St. Corridor in the Hill East community, and just a short metro ride from the museums.

The Space:
→ Fully-stocked kitchen
→ Onsite washer + dryer
→ Flexible check-in & check-out upon request

Experience life as a local and truly enjoy your next DC vacation with a stay at this beautiful 2-story row home. You’ll find that comfort and privacy abound in this private home, which offers luxurious amenities and that extra special touch you won’t find at other rentals in the area.

The central location puts you close to all of the fun, excitement, and history found in the city, while providing you with plenty of space for relaxation. You’ll be located in a residential neighborhood that showcases the diversity that Washington D.C has become known for. Enjoy hanging out in the backyard after a long day of sightseeing, put your favorite movie on the flat-panel Roku TV, or order some take-out with the Amazon Echo while listening to your favorite music. The living area is also business-ready with a desk available should you need to get some work done during your stay.

Just off the kitchen is a dining area with seating for four. Enjoy a quick breakfast or an espresso before visiting DC’s landmarks, or enjoy a dinner prepared in the fully-stocked kitchen. The updated kitchen includes quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, including dishwasher and gas range, and is fully stocked with essentials including cookware, dishware, and utensils. There is a beautiful fenced backyard for getting some fresh air, where you'll also find a full-size grill and gas fire-pit for enjoying this outdoor space. There you can also feel free to pick whatever fresh herbs, fruits or vegetables you might find ready to harvest!

Your friends and family will rest in comfort in the 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom is fitted with a queen bed, a small walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a full bed for two additional guests. The third room maximizes space with a queen Murphy bed, freeing up this room for other activities and easy access to the balcony when the bed isn’t in use. The small balcony off of the third bedroom can be used as an alternative workspace, or simply another place for you to spread out and take in some fresh air. A second full bathroom is available between the bedrooms and includes a tub. All of the beds are fitted with sheets and thick, plush comforters to provide peaceful rest for everyone. There is also a pack-n-play available (i.e. portable crib) with its own mattress and sheets available for guests to use, and then if need be the Murphy bedroom can easily be set up for use as a nursery for guests with infants.

For your convenience, high-speed Wi-Fi is available free-of-charge so you can connect with your friends and family at home, or keep up with your work emails. The home also comes with one secured off-street parking spot for any reasonably sized vehicle in a driveway behind the home, and free street parking close-by as well should you happen to have multiple vehicles.

Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the entire home as well as the backyard space, providing plenty of privacy and room to spread out. For your convenience, we installed a keypad entry to the home, allowing you go about your day without having to track a key. The code is changed after check-out.

The Neighborhood:
airbnb.com/locations/washington-dc/capitol-hill

Hill East is a great residential neighborhood adjacent to Capitol Hill. It is primarily residential, but just far enough from downtown that there is space for plenty of services, including full-sized supermarkets, parks, and playgrounds. It is very walkable and sufficiently close to everything that you won’t feel too far out in the suburbs. Eastern Market and Lincoln Park are conveniently located for your children to play, or to get some people-watching in.

While there are some friendly neighborhood bars and restaurants in Hill East, you’ll find many more options right in Capitol Hill on 8th Street, or the nearby lively H Street Corridor. You can quickly get to those parts of town if you want; it is a longish walk, or you can simply take the Metro that is only two blocks away. Parking is usually easy to come by. If you happen to be a soccer fan, DC United's RFK stadium is less than a 10-minute walk away for getting out to a game while you're in town. If you're looking for my personal recommendations of places to go or things to see, please ask me!

Perhaps the biggest advantage of Hill East (sometimes also called Barney Circle) is the strong sense of community. It is the sort of place where residents know each other by name, and help one another with yard work.

Getting Around:
Stadium-Armory METRO stop is two blocks away at 19th St and A St SE and has Orange, Blue, & Silver line access, multiple bus stops, as well as a bikeshare station.

The house is only a 20-minute drive from Reagan National Airport or a 10-minute drive from Union Station.

Other Things to Note:
Paper products such as paper towels and toilet paper will be refreshed and provided to you prior to your arrival, but you will be responsible for replenishing should you run out during your stay and need more.

Location is great, but don't expect much beyond that . . .
If you believe the old saying "the devil is in the details", then this probably ISN'T the property for you. We paid just short of $5k for a week here, and based upon multiple renting experiences across the country, I don't believe that my expectations were unreasonable, and they certainly weren't met. The place has a great location to the Metro and was clean, but someone from Great Dwellings needs to spend some time/$ here. Our troubles started upon arrival; the door code we were given didn't work, thankfully our contact was responsive. Once inside we found that the wi-fi info wasn't correct & had to figure that out on our own. There was only one set of TV remotes and between all of them there were no working batteries, nor were there any extras until they were delivered a day later. TV's are small, not high definition. Kitchen had no paper towels and only one hand towel, and only one extra trash bag. Microwave has no glass insert for the rotating part so it's a little challenging to use. Upstairs had it's own set of issues. Blinds in both master bedroom and second bedroom had been destroyed and covered over with black "shades" that went all the way to the floor. There are ants and if you leave the lamp on the nightstand on a few flying bugs show up as well. There's only one hair dryer that works, and it only works on low. The worst thing we saw is what appeared to be black mold in the corners of the skylight in the master bath. Maybe back to hotels for us.

A Lovely D.C. Property
We stayed here in mid-August on a family trip to see shows and visit museums over a long weekend. The property is lovely, very modern and clean. Almost perfect! The only things to be aware of would include the temperature control in the upstairs bedrooms. In the summer the freestanding air conditioners are needed for proper cooling. Some type of window treatment/cover in the upstairs room with the Murphy bed is also needed. But all in all, a darling apartment with lovely deck/balcony and the manager provided excellent communication and instructions. We would definitely rent again!

Location!!
The location for this property is a huge selling point. Two blocks to metro yet in a quiet neighborhood away from hustle and bustle. We used transit the majority of our stay which was convenient and fast since DC traffic is awful. We did rent a zip car for one day and enjoyed having a dedicated spot to park. Property was clean. Beds were very comfortable and my boys were pleased with soft blankets. We didn’t cook while there so I cannot speak to kitchen amenities. Property owner was very responsive to emails typically within minutes. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would choose this spot again.

Great Stay and Close to Metro
We enjoyed our stay very much. The home was renovated with higher-quality amenities. Our Highlander fit well in the back parking, which is secure with a metal retractable garage door. There was also available parking out front of the home if you have more than one vehicle. The beds and home were comfortable and we would definitely stay again. We found the Metro being a 3-4 minute walk from the home super convenient.

Would stay again
Excellent for three adults. Would for certain stay here again. House is furnished perfectly. Be prepared for a bit too much communication after booking with owner wanting Driver's License info, etc.. Be prepared for so many emails from the time you book to the day you arrive. Upon arrival, I wish I had just one email with everything I need---address, parking info, codes to get into house, check in and check out policies. Just know upfront it's time consuming answering owner questions and reading all the emails but once you check in everything is perfect.

much like the pictures
The pictures in the listing tell the story. You'll find the place is represented well. Nice neighborhood. Convenient location to the Stadium/Armory Metro stop. The bedrooms are small, but this is a townhouse in a classic neighborhood, so that's to be expected. Had a couple minor issues that the uber-responsive owner addressed. Our family of four adults would stay here again.

Week in DC
We really enjoyed this stay. The closeness to the Metro and the dedicated secure parking space made it a prime location. The neighborhood was quiet during our stay and the amenities in the house made it relaxing and enjoyable. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable and there was a lot of information about visiting and touring the area. We had a bit of a hiccup trying to get in the first night as the electronic lock didn't want to cooperate, but the host was quick to fix the issue and there were no more door problems. Recommend this place as a base for touring by Metro, but also easy access to the highways to get to other places as well. Thanks for the stay.

Great Washington short stay
We had a great time visiting Washington DC with 2 14-year-old girls. The distance to the metro and the direct line to the heart of Washington was greatly appreciated. The house was comfortable and made it nice to hang in the evenings we did not go out, especially the outdoor space. The check-in / check-out process was smooth. We used a luggage drop-off service that the owner suggested on our last day after checking out. It made our last day so enjoyable. All in all a great place to stay a short time.

VRBO issues
This is a great property and is everything as advertised. Good location, very clean, convenient to Metro station, easy to get to Washington attractions, nice kitchen, etc. The only reason we rated it a 4 is that the property manager did not respond to one of our e-mails and they never sent us check in instructions (until several hours after we arrived.) We had to get to (and bother) the homeowner to get those instructions. The homeowner was great in helping out - very friendly and helpful.
