Photos and Description of the Capitol Hill vacation studio rental
Large Studio/1 Bedroom (816 Sq ft/76 meters ) Sleeps 1-4 Guests

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: Book at least 6 months in advance and receive one of the following: 1) A complimentary gift basket or 2) a free family pass to an area attraction -- an $80 value.

This large, 816 sq ft, (76 meters) ground level studio apt., located in the heart of Capitol Hill, offers city living w/ plenty of international accents. Whether it’s the Moroccan lanterns that cast exotic shadows in the open corridor, or the French coffee and pastries that lure you to the bistro-styled dining area, the French and American owners definitely have the “French Touch.” This unit is extremely spacious w/ its dedicated bedroom, living, dining, kitchen, reading nook & bathroom. The queen bed, twin day bed and futon couch in the living area accommodate up to 4 people comfortably.

YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME... The unit features a kitchen, dining area, bedroom, living room, with central air, washer/dryer, steam dishwasher, toaster, microwave, stove, granite counter-tops, accent lighting, exposed brick, ceramic floor, “California”-style closet, flat screen TV w/ cable, Nintendo Wii console and games, gas grill and free Wi-FI.

WE'VE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING... High-quality linen, bathrobes, slippers, luxury soaps, iron/board, dishes, coffee grinders, coffee makers, tea pot, champagne and wine glasses, cocktail shaker, luggage racks, playing cards, a first-aid kit, cooking and grilling utensils, eclectic with books for kids and adults, first aid kit and a handyman's toolkit.

We provide starter items so that you don't have to run to the store for basic things like condiments/seasonings, cooking oil, teas, sugar, washing detergent, paper goods, etc.

We even have a portable foot bath and salts for after those long walks around the National Mall.

OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR... Like Paris, Washington, DC is a walking city. Step outside the front entrance and explore both the popular and hidden treasures of Capitol Hill. A ten-minute walk takes you to bustling Eastern Market—-one of the only remaining merchant markets left in Washington. A trip on the weekend gives visitors a sense of the character and charm that residents and guests from all over the world have come to appreciate. Browse the craft stands of local artists and artisans or shop for antiques. Enjoy breakfast at the Market Lunch or pick up some fresh produce, fish or meat to bring back for the grill.

The unit is several blocks from the U.S. Capitol and minutes from the Library of Congress, Supreme Court, Union Station and National Mall. Great location for Spring Break, Summer vacations and Fall/Winter Holidays.

CONVENIENT TO KEY ATTRACTIONS: Within 10-20 minutes walking, you will find many significant American landmarks, museums, and monuments including the U.S. Capitol, U.S. Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, Folger Shakespeare Library, Union Station, the Marine Corps Barracks, and Congressional Cemetery. Venture down one of the historic residential alleyways like Archibald Walk and Brown’s Court. Each will tell a story of their own.

Walk, bike or take the train to other convenient sites and neighborhood including the White House, Arlington Cemetery, Georgetown, Dupont Circle, Woodley Park and Adams Morgan. Capital Bikeshare stations are blocks away in every direction.

Well-mannered children are welcome.

Smoking is not permitted in the house.

Check online calendar for availability before contacting owner.

About Owner

She's American, he's French and together they've created a special place filled with the best of both worlds.

Owner purchased this studio in 1996
Why Owner chose Capitol Hill

Location, Location, Location. We wanted to be close to the action, yet far enough away to enjoy a quiet night of sleep. It's easily accessible to major attraction and highways. The house was originally built in 1920 and totally renovated to include the most up-to-date amenities.

What makes this studio unique

The unit is equipped with everything you need. Whatever is missing is only a request away. We're always available to assist. One quest described their visit as 'it was like staying with friends'. On the other hand, if you are totally self sufficient, you'll never see us. Only know we're a phone call away.

THE CITY: As a city, Washington, D.C. holds many surprises....too many to see on just one visit. The people of the city are polite, if you have any questions at all, just ask a total stranger and they will help you. You can literally strike up a conversation with anyone. This was our third visit and this time around, we took the yacht to Mt. Vernon, went shopping in Chinatown, visited the Native American Museum, the Holocaust Museum, the National Gallery and walked the Mall from the Capital to the Lincoln Memorial (after the Cherry Blossom Parade). Bring a few pair of your most comfortable shoes....and don't worry, Carla provides band-aids for the blisters!

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Capitol Hill (where Fred and Carla's unit is located) is an absolutely charming and quiet neighborhood. If you have an interest in architecture, you should definitely visit. I am a single mother with two teen daughters and security is important to me. I was very comfortable letting the girls walk home from the Metro unescorted in the evening. Although the house is on a major street, it is not noisy. You are also within walking distance to the Eastern Market and Union Station metros and there are several restaurants on Pennsylvania Avenue and 7th and 8th streets to stop at for a bite of supper on your way home.

THE UNIT: This place is super clean and the beds are very comfortable. Everything that you need in the way of bed linens, towels, soap, dishes, cups and tea and provided. Cooking a few meals "at home" is something that you can't do in a regular hotel. There are books to read, cable TV and a gaming system. The beds are situated in such a way that each person has a little privacy to read their tablet at night without disturbing others. Also provided is a notebook full of info which we found to be very helpful.

YOUR HOSTS: Fred and Carla are warm and wonderful hosts. They are there if you need them and are very knowledgeable about the nearby attractions, stores and restaurants. Good people. You just can't go wrong if you stay there.
Owner's Response: Cristine, thanks for your generous comments. Glad you and the girls enjoyed your stay and that you found the City, the neighborhood and our unit to be welcoming. As you discovered, we make an extra effort to ensure that the unit is exceptionally clean and comfortable and I'm glad you appreciated it. Hope to see you on your next visit to DC.

We had a great stay at Chez Yonnet, and would recommend it to anyone planning a trip to DC. The studio is exactly as described, and Carla could not have been more helpful. Perfect location, within a few minutes drive to the monuments, Capitol, museums, and great dining.

Capitol HIll Apartment

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Nov 1, 2012
  • Stayed: Oct 2012
The apartment is spacious and well furnished, and in very good condition. It is a very good value, considering the apartment itself, and the location in a quite, and well kept-up residential neighborhood in Washington’s Capitol District. The owners, Carla and Fred are very helpful to their tenants, and very congenial. The apartment is a 15-minute walk to nearest metro station, the Eastern Market station. There are restaurants on the streets leading to this station, and near to it. There are also markets and stores, and one of Washington’s oldest large market, the Eastern Market. For those who like to walk, the apartment is within walking distance of the U.S. Capitol Building, and the The National Mall. For those interested in going to the Kennedy Center, free shuttles leave from the Foggy Bottom metro station (reached directly by the Blue and Orange Lines leaving from the Eastern Market station), and go to the Kennedy Center. They leave every 15 minutes, except when performances end, when sufficient shuttles are provided to transport people back to the Foggy Bottom station.

We were very glad we chose to stay at this location. It was perfect for our family of four, with separate twin beds for the kids. It is all that is advertised and more, with no unpleasant surprises. Roomy, very clean, and comfortable. Within walking distance to the sites and the Metro. Carla is always available if you need anything, and she provided us with some good tips that helped us have an enjoyable vacation. This is so much better than staying at a hotel. We highly recommend.

A Second Home in DC

Five stars are not enough!! Comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated, amazing location... the list goes on. We stayed here for 4 nights with our two kids, ages 10 and 12, while we ran around the hot, sticky city. When we returned after a long day of sightseeing and museum hopping, the apt was always cool and welcoming. It really has everything you need for your visit. The owners, Carla and Fred could not have been nicer or more accommodating. When we return to DC, which we definitely will, we will DEFINITELY stay here again.

We stayed at this apartment for 7 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. It was great to come back to after a long day of sightseeing, everything was better than described! It was my husband, our 2 children (10 and 12), and myself and we were all very comfortable. It was great to be able to fix our own meals in the kitchen or use the bbq grill outside. We enjoyed DC very much, so much to see wish we would have had more time. Overall everyone is friendly and had more than one person stop and ask if we needed directions etc. when we looked lost. The metro system is great, we used it a lot instead of driving everywhere because parking was scarce. I would highly recommend a trip to DC and especially recommend staying at this apartment. We wish we would have gotten to meet Carla and Fred, they were out of town, but anytime we needed anything they were just a phone call away. Thanks for everything!

My husband and I were in town for a week and were very pleased with the style, cleanliness and convenience of the apartment. We were able to walk everywhere and felt very safe in the neighborhood. The owners were friendly, helpful and made every effort to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. We would highly recommend the property and fully intend to stay there again the next time we are in D.C.
