Photos and Description of the Capitol Hill vacation condo rental
English Bsmnt, Full Kitchen,W/D,1Bedroom + 1 Convertible bed,1 Bath,Sleeps 2-4

Located in the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood, this unit features one bedroom and one bathroom as well as living room sleeper sofa and can accommodate comfortably up to four. The property—situated within walking distance of the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall—is near the center of the Federal City and offers amenities for a comfortable and memorable stay in one of Washington's oldest and most sought-after neighborhoods. Potomac Metro Station is located around the corner from the property.

After Georgetown to the west, Capitol Hill is Washington's oldest neighborhood. In its earliest days, most of the residents were members of Congress who lived in boarding houses and dormitories surrounding the Capitol. As the neighborhood evolved, row houses replaced boarding houses and the Hill began to grow as a neighborhood filled with families, as well as Washington's who's who. As you walk around this stately neighborhood, don't be surprised if you see faces you've seen in the news. A number of senators and representatives make their home on the Hill.

In addition to the U.S. Capitol, the Hill includes other significant American landmarks such as the U.S. Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, Union Station, the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks, the Washington Naval Yard, Congressional Cemetery, Lincoln Park, and the Eastern Market. All of these sights are within easy walking distance and most are Metro-accessible. Just down the hill from the Capitol is the National Mall with all of the monuments and memorials iconic to Washington, as well as more than 10 museums and galleries of art and artifacts.

To the east of the Capitol is the Eastern Market—one of the only remaining merchant markets left in Washington. While the market bustles during the week, it is on the weekends that it acquires its character and charm as residents from all over the city and visitors from all over the world come to the market to enjoy breakfast; purchase fresh meats, produce, and breads; stroll through the adjacent flea market; and browse the latest art and jewelry crafted by local artists and artisans.

During the spring and summer months, a visit to the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks at 8th and I Streets SE will allow you to see the Marine Corps Silent Drill Team in action. This 24-man rifle platoon performs precision maneuvers with their 10.5 lb M-1 Garand rifles with fixed bayonets.

Over at the U.S. Capitol, the newly opened visitor's center allows visitors to experience the Capitol from the ground up. The center features several state statues in Emancipation Hall and a museum that chronicles the history of the U.S. Capitol from its cornerstone laying in 1789 by George Washington to the present day. Tickets for the Senate and House galleries are available here.

The Library of Congress' Jefferson Building, just across the street from the Capitol, is the world's largest repository of books and media in the world. The building is open to the public and the Renaissance and classical art are breathtaking.

These and other sites make staying on Capitol Hill a must if you're visiting Washington on business or for pleasure.

Great stay!

Unit was neat and clean. Extra linens, paper products and coffee were on hand. Nice to have a washer and dryer for midweek laundry. Super nice grocery store called Harris Teeter just a block to the east on Pennsylvania. Metro was just a block away also which was super convenient. Always felt safe walking around the area. Perfect size for couple with a teen age daughter. Loved taking in the history of Washington DC! Great unit!

Awesome Apartment, Convenient and Clean

5 of 5
Submitted: December 4, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
My friend and I were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. It was only about 2 blocks from the metro and just around the corner to the most awesome grocery store I have ever been in. The apartment was very clean and the bed and the futon was very confortable for sleeping. When I was making our reservations, Allen the owner was very friendly and helpful. I visit D.C. atleast once a year and will make it a point to rent this apartment again.

Perfect base for exploring DC

We loved this little apartment! It had everything we needed and more. A very short walk to Potomac Ave Station, its so easy to get into DC's centre to do the tourist thing. Harris Teeter is just around the corner, and there are some fantastic restaurants on 8th Street. We'd particularly recommend Ted's Bulletin.
Would stay here again or recommend it to anyone wanting somewhere comfortable and convenient to stay.

Not as good as it could have been

2 of 5
Submitted: August 6, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
The address should actually state B on the number as it is the basement apartment and the mailbox has a B on it; this plus the fact that the wrong code for the lock box was sent to us in the email caused for confusion at the end of a day of travel. The place should have been cleaned of spiderwebs and bugs before we arrived. There were also long black hairs on the bedding when we arrived. The info sent to us stated the kitchen was fully-equipped; in our experience that usually includes a coffee maker, something to make a pizza on (cookie sheet, etc.), a pitcher for juice; but the apartment had none of those items. Plus it said there were some basics like tea, coffee, salt, pepper. Again, none of those things were in the apartment. We had two rolls of toilet paper for three people for 8 days. On the plus side, it was a very short walk to the Potomac metro station and there is a Harris Teeter on the same block.
Owner's Response: We are sorry you experienced these difficulties since as owners, we were not kept apprised of the customer experience by the prior management company. Thank you for your input. We took over the management of our properties on August 1, 2012 and since then we have hired a professional cleaning company, restocked, repainted/decorated, added the missing appliances and added new furniture. From now on our guests will be communicating directly with us and we will make all the efforts it takes to make your DC vacation a memorable experience.
