About this apartment rental
Welcome to the Nation's Capital!
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION !!!
Location is the name of the game, and that’s where we are champs! Check it out on the map — we are just steps from the U.S. Capitol!
This is a large, bright 1BR 1BA — not a basement — not a shared space — it's your 1000 sq ft private apartment with its own entrance!
Our convenient and safe location has an authentic neighborhood feeling. While staying here, you may run into your favorite (or not) politicians, as "these people" are our neighbors, and so we receive additional protection from the U.S. Capitol Police and their K-9s.
We are half a block (less than three minutes on foot) from the Metro, and are perfectly situated on the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines. You can take the Metro from either Reagan National or Dulles International airports!
We are walking distance to Nationals Stadium (10-15 minutes stroll — GO NATS!), Navy Yard, Eastern Market, restaurants, cafés, parks, a cozy old-fashioned movie theater, and much more.
*** We are fully inspected by the District of Columbia, and we have a valid certificate of occupancy and current licenses. ***
Our space sleeps two comfortably. An additional single hotel-style roll-away bed is available (not an air bed) for a third registered guest or for those who prefer not to share the queen bed. A small fee applies, and the roll-away bed MUST be requested at booking time. The sofa is not a sleeper-sofa, and we kindly ask guests not to sleep on it.
YOU GET:
● Peaceful, large, newly carpeted bedroom with queen bed and extremely comfortable memory-foam mattress and pillows
● Smart Flat-Screen TV (Please note we do not have cable TV) which has some limited OTA and streaming channels. You may use your favourite streaming service, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon
● Complimentary super-fast WiFi for this unit only, not shared with anyone else. You're secure!
● Central A/C and heating, controlled by you (NEST)
● Ceiling fans in living room and bedroom

PLEASE NOTE: CHECK-IN TIME IS 3:00 pm. CHECK-OUT TIME IS 11:00 am. We can sometimes accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs, but we are very closely booked and often it's not possible. Please inquire as far in advance as possible, and we will gladly try to help you.
If you need to leave your luggage and we can't help you, there is a convenient business half a block away which charges a small fee for this service.
We take pride in providing a clean, clutter-free, updated space. If something breaks or doesn't work properly, please let us know.
Because we're so close to the Capitol, and the security situation has changed somewhat, we now require IDs upon reservation confirmation, for each guest. Only registered guests may stay. Please do not have parties.
We will accommodate only certified service animals, but we're sorry to say that other furry friends must stay home.
Book with confidence! A spotless flat has always be our primary goal and the reviews reflect our commitment: Read them yourself! The cleaning team have been with us for more than ten years, and are fully trained on the necessary steps for you to have a safe and comfortable stay. All surfaces (including linens) are cleaned with disinfectants. To limit contact with common surfaces, lights in common areas are motion-activated.
We don't allow smoking inside. You may smoke outside, and there are two seating areas: The front, which is good for people-watching, and the more intimate back patio. We do not provide ash trays.
For your safety and ours, there are exterior security cameras on our property. These cameras are registered with the Metropolitan Police, and, if lawfully requested by proper authority, we will allow video access. Of course, we respect your privacy, and there are no cameras of any kind inside the flat.

This is such an adorable, clean, convenient place to stay. It made all the difference in our whole trip experience since this was our first time to DC. If we ever come back, this place is a must!!!
1.0
It was a disaster. The key pad would not allow us access after we went out to dinner. The owners were not available and we spent 2 hours on phone with vrbo manager trying to reach them. This was 1030 at night! VRBO put us up in hotel. We could of stayed at The Willard but we were considerate and went to near by Marriott! The next morning we walked back in clothes we wore out. The husband agreed to comp us the night and vrbo paid for hotel. The owners then decided not to comp us for the night which we have a text showing he agreed that was fair. They did not consider how much we were inconvenienced one bit.
4.0
This first floor apartment is in a row house and it’s fun just to walk around the neighborhood! Easy to walk to the Mall or catch the metro. Super close to groceries also. Only heads up is the rollaway is unstable. We had to put it on the floor.
5.0
Great location, very clean, easy to access and comfortable.
5.0
We enjoyed several days in Washington DC due to this rental and the owners. They left very detailed notes about checking in, even telling us where to store our luggage since we arrived early. The neighborhood is safe and charming, and the location is steps from the Capitol South Metro station. We used public transportation the entire trip or walked. It was easy to get to the East end of the National Mall and Capitol by foot and everywhere else using the Metro.
We don't require a lot of extra amenities, but this place had what we needed and was very clean. I always appreciate not having to pack a hair dryer!
Thanks for a great stay, Marina!

Stay! The place was clean, well stocked and the information given my the owners was wonderful. Thank you a great trip to DC!

It worked out perfectly for my son and I to stay. We had enough room to cook breakfast and also relax after a long day of seeing sites and the location was excellent.
5.0
The property was very nice and conveniently located. It was clean, quiet and peaceful after a busy day walking around town site seeing. Close to the metro which we used every day. The bed was very comfortable. Thank you again for a pleasant stay!

The pictures didn’t do the place justice. It was the cutest home with a great front and back outdoor area. I loved the location - walking distance from so much stuff! Highly recommend!
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay at this spacious, comfortable, and nicely decorated apartment in a great location. It’s a very easy walk to the Capitol, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court, and the Capitol South Metro stop is about a block away. We visited during a heatwave, so we wound up taking Uber rides more than planned, but it was just a short ride to the Mall and other sites. We were grateful that the a/c kept the place cool even when it was 99 degrees F outside!
There were three of us—two adults and a kid—and there was plenty of room. The bed and rollaway bed (which you need to request in advance) were both comfortable, and I wish I had one of the memory foam pillows at home. The host was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this rental!

Perfect location, Metro was easy to get to
VRBO was wonderful, clean great location
5.0
The property is in a very convenient location, close to the Capitol building, metro stations, and several restaurants. It is well maintained and had all the amenities we needed. The owners were very prompt and helpful with any questions we had. I highly recommend this property for any couples interested in vacationing in Washington DC.
5.0
Reserving and communication with owners was simple and reassuring. The unit was easy to enter and it was nicely appointed, clean and easy to get settled. The location is on a beautiful tree lined street which is less than a block from the metro stop which gives short access to the Smithsonian Museums and other notable places in the district. Since we drove to Washington we were able to purchase a parking pass for the duration of our stay and available spaces were their when we needed them. Clean, Safe and Great Location.
5.0
What a great week we had at this place. The bed and pillows are amazing and the rest of the apartment is also very comfortable. Only 1/2 block from subway to get to anywhere which was convenient It’s also very easy going to and from the airport on the metro (subway). That takes about 30 minutes and cost $2.00 a person. Would definitely stay there again if going to DC

Perfect location to enjoy all DC has to offer, either on foot, a bike or metro. Lovely tree-lined quiet street with outdoor space for coffee and people watching. Whole Food close by! Enjoyed my time living like a local in this sweet Capital Hill spot.

We took a cab from union Station but walked to the station when leaving. It’s an easy walk! We used the metro a lot, but it’s an easy walk to the Mall and many museums. Quiet restful spot.
5.0
We had a great time staying in this lovely flat, and we will definitely return! It is located in a beautiful neighborhood of row houses, a block from the subway (that goes everywhere but is just far enough from the rental to not be heard), and two blocks from the Library of Congress and the Capitol. It is also a short walk to the wharf or Eastern Market / Capitol Hill neighborhood. It is perfectly situated in a great neighborhood. We loved the cafe around the corner (Le Bon Cafe) for breakfast. The entire apartment was clean, comfortable, and attractive. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and enjoy take-in, plus a washer/dryer. The bedroom had excellent options to unpack and hang up clothes or stash them in a dresser, good lighting for reading, and the best--the bed and pillows were outstanding, and we slept soundly. We enjoyed movies on the tv (signed in with our Netflix account) and appreciated the many thoughtful extras throughout the rental. The twin bed set up for our teenager worked well. We requested a parking pass, and we easily found a space directly in front of the rental. Marina was friendly and helpful through several communications. We didn't need anything from Marina while we were there because everything was perfect--easy to get in, clear about check-in/check-out, everything explained well in a binder. This is a comfortable, quiet, well-appointed rental in an upscale residential neighborhood five minutes from the Capitol. A treasure!

There are tons of restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here! I'm sure we'll be back! Thank you to our wonderful hosts!
5.0
Property is in a great spot. Easy Metro Blue line access. Bed and couch were super comfortable. A little noisy from upstairs and other space next door but it’s an urban condo so that’s expected. Wasn’t loud during evening or late hours. Great communication from the owners. Overall would definitely stay again.
5.0
This was our first VRBO and I'll tell you what, Marina and James have set the bar pretty high. It was wonderful! Everything you read in the write up about their property is spot on. The location couldn't be more perfect.
Marina and James are top tier hosts. They respect your privacy and at the same time are very approachable. So, don't buy into any of the negative reviews.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This 1 BR/1BA was perfect for our DC stay. It was conveniently located by the Capital south Metro station. D street is a lovely residential street of historic homes from ranging from 1879. The suite itself had all the comforts of home with a kitchen and washer.

The accommodations were as describe and very comfortable for the two of us. The kitchen had all amenities to make meals, and grocery stores were a 20 min walk. The bedroom was spacious and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The living room had a couch and plenty of space to stretch out after a day of walking. The Capitol South metro stop was 5 min walk, and made it easy to get from and to the airport. I would definitely rent this place again.

The owners are nearby and available for any questions or issues. We had a wonderful stay with no issues at all. The property is surprisingly roomy for being in downtown. It's very clean and comfortable. You are right next to the Capoitol in a beautiful and safe neighborhood. Neighbors we ran into outside we very friendly. Easy to walk to everything. We're already booked for our next stay!

There is a Trader Joe’s close by and there are bicycles to rent at both ends of the block!
