About Colin Thomas
I am a military officer and pilot as well as a real estate professional. I have extensive travel experience and understand the nuances associated with creating a comfortable and memorable experience in our nation's capitol.
I am also a Washingtonian and live nearby. I have a very in depth knowledge of all that Washington DC has to offer and am happy to provide any recommendations to make your stay more enjoyable.
Why Colin Thomas chose Washington DC
Since being built in 1880 numerous Senators, Congressmen, artists, and academics have all resided at what is now Hill Flats.
The building was previously used as a lecture hall and residence for scholars conducting research at the Library of Congress which is across the street.
Due to the buildings immediate proximity to national monuments, the National Park Service and Washington DC has designated Hill Flats a Historic building and has registered it under the Capitol Overlay and Fine Arts District. This designation ensures that all preservation is conducted under the direction of the Architect of the Capitol.
Hill Flats has been meticulously preserved while ensuring that it meets modern comforts.
If you are looking for character and historic charm there is no substitute.

Cute and Clean
We took the train in from Springfield, MA and walked to everything. Only a 10 minute walk from Union station and to the National Mall. Though,you may want to take a trolley or bus tour to see the monuments on the north side of Washington monument. The apartment was just right for two. At one point we had trouble getting in to the apartment. The batteries in the entry key pad were dead. We called Gene and he called us back right away and then was there to let us in and change out the batteries. I would recommend this pretty brownstone apartment for anyone wishing to take a stress-free, walking vacation.
Beautiful historic home... Absolutely loved it!
It was perfect for our family and in a great location. Within walking distance of the entire mall! Loved it! Definitely will be coming back
Perfect location
Property is spotless. It is within walking distance to Smithsonian, Union Station and everything.
Washington DC Close Up
We enjoyed the location of this apartment and proximity to the Capital. The area has a few nice restaurants although no grocery stores in the vicinity. You cannot ask for better access to the the sites whether it is the Capital building, the Supreme Court, National Archives and list goes on.
The apartment is functional. We found the bed to be tired and the apartment itself a little worn. The couch was not meant to sit on however the kitchen was updated and came with the basic items expected for an extended stay. Water pressure was good and the laundry in the basement was nice to have.
Overall we would give the location a high 4 low 5 and the apartment a 3.
Cozy walk-up in a great location
Small but clean and comfortable walk-up in a tree-lined residential neighborhood, ideally situated within walking distance to shops, restaurants, services, and everything on the Mall. Beds and linens were decent, updated bath and kitchen both very nice (new appliances, counters, etc), although the kitchen was a bit under-equipped to be truly functional. And, as others have noted, the wifi signal is weak. Otherwise, we loved it. The owner, Gene, could not have been more helpful in terms of advice, directions and recommendations. An unexpected power outage was attended to professionally and pro-actively. We especially enjoyed the Eastern Market, We The Pizza and Brasserie Beck during our visit. Would recommend this unit and hope to stay here again!
It was fine.
The unit is obviously old. It seems highly unlikely that 4 people could stay here. There are no dressers and no table to eat at. But for two it was ok.
