About The Owner

The Owner purchased this house in 2006
What makes this house unique

Capitol Hill is an absolutely wonderful place to live. We love the history of the homes nearby and learning what famous people have lived in them, walking by the Library of Congress, Supreme Court, and the Capitol at night, walking to nearby first rate restaurants, and watching the Marine Corps Band and Honor Guard's Tattoo on Friday nights, Recently the city has opened a beautiful new park just down the street on the waterfront. There's a great sidewalk level fountain for the kids to play in, free outdoor/lawn movies and music on summer evenings. The entire Capitol Hill area has undergone an incredible revitalization within the past ten years and many young families with small children fill the many parks. Most of my guests really enjoy Eastern Market - because on weekends you can find great fresh foods, antiques, international craft items, art and lots of jewelry. It is superbusy - very fun place to spend time with friends.

Mostly great - some issues

4 of 5
Submitted: May 13, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
Four nice, big bedrooms - very nice. Great walking access to almost everything - including the ballpark.

Musty/mildew smell hits you as you enter the place. Entire place could use some updating for 5 star status - even though house is old/historic. Pool/outdoor area not usable/presentable. Bathroom sink fixture fell off the wall (still usable).

Charming place in a great location!

4 of 5

The house is charming, functional and comfortable. The owner was very helpful with all our concerns and was quick and reliable with responding to our inquiries. The house is fully equipped in the kitchen which allows you to come in a prepare meals easily but is located within walking distance to a variety of restaurants which work well for adults or children. A great place for couples or families with children. We would definitely return to this location for future visits to DC

This is a lovely location and the many bathrooms make it an ideal home for a family reunion. However, realize you are not staying at a hotel. It's a home with all the quirks homes can have. You may have to provide some of your own necessities, but our family felt it was worth the inconvenience. It was a bit off putting when we arrived and found unfinished laundry in the washer and sheets waiting on the kitchen table to be washed. The owner was accommodating however, and when we asked tried to make things right.
Recommended for:  Age 55+
Owner's Response: The laundry was my mistake. I explained that I had mistakenly left the laundry in the kitchen. I live next door and was taking the laundry to my house to wash - but forgot to pick it up when I left the house after cleaning it. I certainly did not mean for you to wash it. All the beds were made and there were plenty of clean towels in the linen closets, so there was no need for you to actually do the laundry.

Christmas in DC

4 of 5
Submitted: January 2, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
We rented the house for our family for Christmas week - a great time to be in DC as most people leave. We arrived to a house that was warm, lights on low, music playing and a Christmas tree in the living room. A wonderful welcome. The 4 bedrooms on the second floor accommodated 4 couples nicely and it was great to have the half bath on the first floor. Everything in the house was clean and functional. There was a crib, highchair and futon for the small children. The location was wonderful - we walked or took the Metro everywhere. We used the Eastern Market and the little corner store for all of our groceries and walked to restaurants in the area when we ate out. I don't think the house is great for small children (we had 3 under 3) There are glass art objects everywhere, glass coffee table in the living room, and a glass table in the dining room. Both the front and back stair cases are very steep. Fortunately, neither the children nor the objects got hurt.

Wonderful place for a stay

5 co-workers of mine onthe National tour of War Horse rented this lovely home for three weeks while we played the Kennedy Center. Amazing place. Wonderful charm and relaxing atmosphere in one of our favorite neighborhoods in DC. Close to the train and to shops on the 8th street and eastern Market. Close to the Mall and the Capitol. Dianne is wonderful and very accomodating. Wonderful place to stay I highly reccomend it.
