Photos and Description of the Capitol Hill vacation apartment rental
1 bedroom/1 bath apt with twin-size couch, sleeps 2-6

Come stay in my 1-bedroom apartment in beautiful Capitol Hill, just 5 blocks from Union Station and 8 blocks from the U.S. Capitol. No need for a car here - public transit is easy, clean and takes you everywhere you might want to go.

Minimize your meal expenses by cooking at home in my full size, fully stocked kitchen. Staples such as salt, olive oil and most spices are available. For that extra bit of awesome I'm making my Keurig k-cup coffee maker available with an assortment of coffee and teas. There is a mini mart two blocks away and a larger grocery store at about four blocks for anything else you might need.

Maps, transit information and my family's collection of coffee table books about DC are provided as well. Wireless internet will hopefully get you anything else you might need to know. Ethernet is available upon request.

There is a TV with a selection of DVDs, but no broadcast tv or cable is available.

Sleeping arrangements: There is a queen bed in the bedroom and a single couch in the living room. We can also set up a queen air mattress and/or two twin air mattresses. There is a one time setup fee of $75 for the queen air mattress and $50 each for the twin air mattresses.

Check-in/Check-out Times: Standard check-in and out times are 10am and 2pm. It is usually not a problem to adjust these times to allow for your arrival and departure times by request. If no mention of specific arrangements are made, these are the times that will be used.

Payment Options: I can accept payment via check and by PayPal. Half is due at the time of your booking and the remainder is due two weeks before your arrival. A $100 security deposit for stays of one week or less is also required two weeks before your arrival, which will be refunded after your departure.

Cancellation Policy: There is a $25 cancellation fee. Aside from that fee, if you cancel more than 1 month before your arrival date you will receive a full refund. If you cancel 1 month to two weeks before your arrival date, you will receive a 50% refund. If you cancel two weeks to one week before, you will receive a 75% refund. If you cancel less than a week before your arrival there is no refund. If I can rebook your dates, I will provide a full refund under any of these circumstances.

CAPITAL HILL

5 of 5
Submitted: April 23, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
What a great place to stay. The location was within minutes of the Capital and Union Station. Restaurants, grocery, and a neat place to drop by and have coffee.
However there is a keurig in the apartment and lots of different choices of coffee.

The apartment was very clean and well furnished. The couch in the living room makes a very comfortable bed.

I have to admit I was surprised at everything Cindy had available for us. Everything you could need from shampoo, conditioner, lotion, spices in the kitchen and POPCORN!!! WOW!

This is a great place to stay! THANK YOU CINDY!

Perfect for Our Family of Three

5 of 5
Submitted: April 1, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Our family really enjoyed our one-week stay here. The listing descriptions were accurate and the pictures show exactly what the place looks like: clean, spacious and very nicely decorated.

My daughter slept well on the comfortable couch bed. It was her own cozy space within the living room to spread out and relax. Our bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable with ample pillows to choose from. We slept well. We didn't do a lot of cooking, but found everything in working order and had all that we needed to make quick breakfasts in the morning. Having the washer and dryer in our unit made doing laundry a breeze (often a big chore if staying in hotels). We had good wi-fi connection throughout our stay, and a printer available if we needed it. There was ample reading material, including area maps and guides, coffee table books, novels, non-fiction and very interesting and relevant topical books. There were also lots of movies on DVD to choose from.

The neighborhood was safe and quiet. We enjoyed our daily walk to and from Union Station Metro station as it gave us a pleasant feel of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The walk was level took about 15 minutes, or 10 minutes at a brisk pace. We felt safe enough walking in the area shortly after dark, and saw families, couples and individuals out at that time as well.

Cindy was very warm and gracious. She made us feel welcomed and at home from the beginning. Rich also was kind and responded to our needs quickly. Knowing that they were available and upstairs from us gave us an added sense of security.

We would definitely recommend this rental. We thought their rates were very reasonable and we were very comfortable and happy with all that was provided.
Owner's Response: Thank you, Amy, for your nice review. We try very hard to make sure everyone has a good time in Washington. You and your family were delightful guests. So glad you stayed with us!

We spend 3 nights at the apartment, my husband, my three daughters and me. We had a great time despite the summer heat. The place is very well located, walking distance to main attractions. Mostly we felt that the owner cares about their tenants, providing with little comforting details (Washington maps and guides, coffee and tea, etc.). The place is well equipped and clean, the air conditioning was well appreciated. We would definitely come back again.

Great apartment on Capitol Hill

5 of 5
Submitted: August 5, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
The apartment was really lovely, and the location is great -- right near Union Station and walking distance to the Capitol.

Cindy and Rich provided coffee, extra toiletry items, and plenty of towels. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and pots and pans. There were tour books, maps and other DC info available to help work out our tourist activities. There were even takeout menus for local restaurants!

They are great "landlords" and I'd certainly stay there again on any future visit to DC.
Owner's Response: We appreciate your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed our apartment. We would love to have your family any time.

The apartment is within a short walking distance to Union Station ans so is the little grocery store where we stock up our breakfast. It was roomy for three of us and kitchen was well equipped. The wifi works smoothly. With the washer and dryer right in the apartment, we felt like home for our nine days visit to DC. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is planning a trip to DC.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind review. It helps others decide if this is the right place for them.
