Photos and Description of the Capitol Hill vacation apartment rental
Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)

City living and an organic environment make this apartment the perfect experience—right in the historic district of Capitol Hill, in the prestigious Lincoln Park neighborhood, a short walk or bike to everything! If we are already booked, try our 2nd floor unit: VRBO # 357360 -- it's done in the same style!

This charming 1912 corner row house is a historic renovated corner barbershop, with a private entrance, 900 square feet of sunny living space with high ceilings, full sunlight through large windows that face east, south and west.

There is a bus stop on the block, and it is a ten-minute walk to the orange-line metro at Eastern Market and then just one stop to the Capitol and the beginning of the Smithsonian Mall. Take a ten to twenty minute walk to a variety of neighborhoods (including Barracks Row, Eastern Market, Pennsylvania Ave, Lincoln Park and more) that offer shops, restaurants, and services. If you love to walk, take a leisurely stroll through the historic houses and gardens of East Capitol Street and arrive at the doorstep of the Capitol. We also have bicycles for you to use-- a fun and free way to tour the city, if you are so inclined!

Step outside to stroll the quiet, charming, and safe neighborhood, or picnic on our large grassy yard amidst the scent of lilacs and forsythia. Explore the great neighborhood, which offers a wide-open tree-lined green space as well as an upscale restaurant and corner market that features Polyface Farms meats and more. Great restaurant options are everywhere-- and you can walk a few blocks to shop for groceries at Yes Organic Market and Eastern Market, plus full-size grocery store six blocks away. Take pleasure in the kind of neighborhood experience that Capitol Hill will offer at every turn.

The apartment has natural heart pine wood floor, organic bedding, plant-filled windowsills, and complimentary natural bath products and organic pantry items.

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful at night. Adding to your comfort: yoga mat and instructional DVDs, organic cotton sheets, an air purifier with HEPA Filter and Ionizer generating pure air day and night, a special shower head to filter out the chlorine, organic cotton towels, a filtered water pitcher for pure drinking water, and leafy-green plants to naturally cleanse toxins from the air. You will breathe easy, stay healthy, and rest well here.

There's also the convenience of wireless internet access, unlimited local and long-distance calling, a flat-panel TV with cable and DVD player, a diverse selection of DVDs, and a washer/dryer.

About The Owner

I've been working for 10 years at Library of Congress, and lived 20 years in DC area. I do great bike tours of Capitol Hill.

The Owner purchased this apartment in 2004
Why The Owner chose Capitol Hill

DC is an amazing city with free cultural offerings everywhere!

What makes this apartment unique

This house is a rare find in DC: a corner property with no close neighbors on three sides, so lots of windows that are open to light and air, and surrounded by a large yard and patio. The enclosed yard has an organic garden-- help yourself to tomatoes and more while you stay.

Home Away from Home

Neighbors are friendly and helpful, as was everyone we met while walking the beautiful neighborhood. We almost forgot that our reason for coming was to visit the Capital and the many museums on the mall, but after a long day of walking all over the place, this was a very peaceful and relaxing spot to lay our heads down. The free Wifi allowed us to stay connected and use valuable tools that the Metro transit system offers to help plan our travels. Explore those tools before you come. Make sure to visit the nearby Eastern Market on Saturdays. We did not accomplish our goal of seeing all Washington has to offer. If we come back again, this is where we want to stay.

Great place and location

4 of 5
Submitted: August 1, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
My family stayed here for 5 days for our summer vacation. The property could not be better located - you are literally MINUTES from Capitol Hill and steps away from Lincoln Park and Eastern Market. I loved going for a run each night around Lincoln Park. Safe and quiet area with friendly people all around. Also great to have parking included as we drove down from Canada

The bikes that came with the property were great - good thing to "make" your own breeze during July in Washington - hot, hot, hot, hot! The property is clean and well appointed. Everything you could need. The washing machine was a blessing as we changed clothes regularly. The dryer wasn't working well but the clothesline did the job. Jo was VERY responsive to our requests and questions.

Lots of guidebooks in the apartment which was great. Good restaurant recommendations too - we checked out a few (Banana Cafe and We the Pizza) and equally enjoyed them.

Honestly it was everything we were looking for in a rental and as a family (2 adults + teenager) it was perfect! Thanks Jo for your great property!

Awesome Place!!

The lower level was just as advertised. Having the bikes was a special treat as we were able to see the city from a different perspective. The added touches by Jo when we arrived were a special treat. The neighborhood felt safe and was close to everything we needed. Jo was very responsive to all of our inquiries before we arrived and during our stay . We would recommend it to anyone planning a D.C. visit.

Oasis in the city!!

Maybe it's the garden out your window or the tastefully green decor, but somehow this apartment manages a feeling of tranquility while still being uber-convenient. It's easy walking to Union Station, the shops at Eastern Market, or the exploding scene on H-street. (My favorite: beer and bi-valves at Granville Moores) I've also run to the Mall from here, it's a gorgeous way to start your day. Great space, great value!
