About this apartment rental
This clean, large, light-filled, heart-of-historic Capitol Hill apartment comes with everything! A locked, gated courtyard leads to this fabulous, separate entrance apartment. Guests arrive to find a well-equipped kitchen (full-size, with granite counters) stocked with staples including coffee, tea, honey, spices and cooking oils, fresh linens on the beds and clean, plush towels in the bathroom. Cable, Wi-Fi, 32-inch flat-screen TV, washer/dryer, iron/ironing board, hair dryer, independent heating and cooling system and free off-street parking are also included. With a grocery store two blocks away, and an eat-in kitchen that seats four to five, guests have the choice of cooking or going out to any of the Hill's many restaurants. After a full day of sight-seeing, guests can sleep on the queen-size memory foam mattress in the master bedroom, and shower in the attached bathroom. For parties of more than two, the living room daybed w/trundle sleeps two. A comfy roll-away bed is also available, as well as a baby crib, high-chair or booster seat. Please note that the only bathroom is accessed through the master bedroom. The apartment is in a lovely neighborhood. Part of the original Capitol Hill, guests are easily able to walk to the Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, National Mall, Smithsonian museums, Union Station and Union Station Metro. Just yards from the apartment is historic Stanton Park: for runners, 8 laps of the park is a mile. For parents of young children, Stanton Park has a gated playground. The neighborhood is also home to Capital Bikeshare stations, bookstores, corner stores, grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, the famous Eastern Market and a fabulous weekend flea market. Everything else in Washington, from the National Zoo to the Nationals' ball park, the White House, Ford's Theater, Chinatown, Georgetown, Arlington Cemetery, can be reached by Metro or the Circulator bus.

This was the best VRBO / rental experience I’ve ever had. The apartment was as exactly describes with everything you could need. Couch bed with a trundle was perfect for 3 little kids with a super comfortable queen bed for us. Great shower and water pressure. Ample towels for the entire week. Perfect location to be within walking distance of the sights and museums and local restaurants. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in DC!

Info/pictures were accurate. Spacious. Had everything we needed. Loved having the parking space and a secure area for our bikes. Location close to the Capitol was great, but was uphill from the Mall so can be a tough bike ride at the end of the day! Came with our 12 & 14 yo, and each getting their own single bed/mattress was great.

Property was easy to access and walking distance to National Mall. Had everything we needed during our stay and the off street parking was great

This apartment is tucked in the basement of a magnificent house. It wasn’t easy for me to find but a quick call to the owner (who has tons of patience) solved the issue instantly. It’s a tad bit confusing, and I would suggest posting a photo of the outside of the property or perhaps sending it with the welcome directions.
The apartment doesn’t exactly look like the photos on the website, but it’s super cute and has absolutely everything you’ll need. Including an abundance of clean towels! We did use the washer and dryer, plenty of laundry detergent.
Had a little difficulty with the AC, but that must have been my fault.. I don’t have AC at home, so not used to how it works.
There’s some really yummy restaurants located within walking distance and the neighborhood residents are incredibly nice. Lots of sweet children and their families out for walks.
I would absolutely stay here again. The owner was outstanding, including letting us leave our bags there for an early morning tour and late check in to our other hotel.
Uber, Lyft easy peasy!

5 of us stayed here. The space was very clean and we had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, a safe space, a comfortable bed. We used the blow up mattress for one guest. It was in a safe and charming neighborhood and close to everything . We Uber -ed everywhere and all the Ubers were great! Sharing 1 bathroom was a little hard for 5 adults, but the price and location was worth it. They were very accommodating with an early check in as well. Thank you! Highly recommend;)

This property is really nice and in a great location. The bed is super comfy and pillows are so good we looked for the name so we can purchase them for home. Lots of hot water, lots of great towels and really nice people. We will definitely reserve this place again for our next DC trip.

Love the location of the property, and the off street parking cannot be beat! It is within walking distance of everything you want to see. Our family of 4 was very comfortable, and the property was well stocked with everything we needed. There are a few parts of the property that could use some repair or maintenance, but otherwise, it was a great stay! We would definitely stay here again!
4.0
Location is awesome. Sketchy steps to get down there so be careful but the apartment was just as described. Really comfy bed and pillows. Some things were a little run down and I couldn’t get the TV to work, otherwise I would’ve ranked this higher. Place is appropriately priced for the area.

We had such a pleasant stay at this property! Me, my husband, and our two children (2&4) stayed here for 5 nights. It is a very clean, spacious, and the location is excellent. There is a nice park just a block away where our kids burned some energy. The location was very safe and also not far from museums and attractions. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. I will note that there were a lot of toiletry items in the bathroom. While this is nice in case guests forget things, it did take up the already limited space in the bathroom. As well as making the place feel kind of “lived in.” Not a big deal at all, just a note. Another note, the steps down into the apartment are extremely narrow and steep. We managed them fine, but if anyone has mobility issues it could be quite difficult to get into. We love the character in this home and would definitely stay again!
5.0
Our family of four absolutely loved this VRBO. The location is fantastic. Easy walk to the National Mall. Quick Uber service. Having a parking spot off the street was probably one of the very best parts! Very comfortable bed and amazing water pressure. We loved the quirky style and were well prepared by the other reviews for the unique entrance. If you read the check-in instructions carefully, it is easy! Woud definitely stay here again.

Felt a little mixed about the property. Location was great!. It was a little confusing to find and get into the property. The accommodations were great for a couple & small children. However, the daybed in the living space was extremely uncomfortable and the mattress needs to be much thicker and upgraded or replaced with a good sofa bed. This would allow comfort in the living space. The bathroom and kitchen were good!
3.0
The property was located in a great area, however the unit itself was a disappointment. The stairs to get to the unit were dangerously positioned and difficult to get up and down for aged individuals. The shower area was in pretty bad shape with mold growing on the walls and floors in between the white tiles. The pots and pans were old and most of them were not safe to be used. The bathroom was located in the bedroom and made it difficult for other individuals sleeping in the living room to access in the middle of the night without waking up the other people. The unit was dark and not fun to stay in.

Great location. Owners were great. Maybe not for older people because of the very deep and steep steps down into the basement apt.
4.0
Property is in a very nice neighborhood and close to many of the sites we wanted to visit. Grocery stores, restaurants and transportation are close by. We did have some challenges actually getting the door to the apartment open upon arrival and that was a little frustrating but the apartment is good size and comfortable. The steps down to the door are very steep but we knew it in advance. Bed was very comfortable and a/c worked well. Had some issues trying to close the shower door but the water pressure was really good. Very quiet and safe neighborhood with a nice little park just down the street. The wi-fi was a little spotty at times and the TV should probably be replaced. When we did try to watch the TV it would just freeze up so we watched on our IPads instead. It is a very nice location and met our needs of seeing the historical sites of Washington. With some simple changes it would be a great place.

We had a great experience staying here, the location is ideal, the rooms were comfortable. The only complaint was the ants in the kitchen.

Had a wonderful stay. Located near Capitol Hill in a lovely neighborhood of Row houses. Owners were responsive to our questions in a timely manner. When the neighborhood loss power they checked to see if we needed anything. Our only suggestions would be an additional railing for the outside stairs and bigger cereal bowls. 8 thumbs up from this group. Definitely recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts were great and quick to answer questions, they got us a parking pass so we could park on our day of departure. The apartment was small, but clean and well furnished. The only minor issue was the WiFi wasn’t working, but our phone’s worked fine and we didn’t spend much time in the apartment for that to be a problem.
5.0
Perfect apartment for our week in DC! Short walk to a little corner store that had everything we could need, great little hole in the wall breakfast joint just a few blocks away, and an easy walk to the Capitol! The location could not be better!
The apartment itself was large enough that my family was not on top of one another- plenty of room to spread out. Master bed was COMFY! Kids were happy they had actual beds to sleep in via the daybed and trundle rather than a pull out couch.
I highly recommend this apartment for your stay!

We enjoyed our stay so much. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided, and the full bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept in away from home.

Basement apartment in the Capital Hill neighborhood. Close to museums and monuments. We enjoyed staying here. Owners are responsive to inquiries. It was a great vacation.

Parked the car, and didn't need it the whole week. Just a few blocks away is union station where you can get the metro, or buses to get you where you need to go. It was a little lacking in supplies. Couldn't find dishwasher soap,(which they brought us) or trashbags that we didn't realize until we took out the trash when we left. The dishwasher didn't work, but not their fault, appliances break down. The pictures show 2 chairs in the living room, but there was only 1 :( We really enjoyed our stay. The owners are very nice, and informative. The steps down to the apartment are not going to be for everyone though. They are very narrow, and steep. Overall very clean, comfortable, and an easy walk to the national mall.
5.0
The rental was as advertised and very comfortable for a family of 5 (2 adults/3 kids) visiting D.C. Hosts are very kind and helpful on the occasions I sought their assistance with something. A magical place to call "home base." Easy walk to SCOTUS, Capitol, Library of Congress, and mall. Also easy walk to Union Station, Eastern Market, or Capitol South for metro access to longer destinations. And they even had a parking space for us that was super easy to find and no problem whatsoever to use. Highly recommend this place and the hosts. I also recommend renting electric scooters and going up the mall and back in the evening.

Great location near the US Capitol! Safe neighborhood that is not too far from the market and metro/bus stops (prob 1/2 mile). There are a lot of electric bikes/scooters around that were fun to ride as well. Stocked kitchen and washer/dryer made it easy to cook and do laundry! Internet provided where you can stream Netflix,etc.. some live channels. One suggestion would be please add one more chair in the family room. Thanks!

Overall we had a wonderful trip. We did like the apartment but as others have mentioned the steps down are steep and not for someone with movement issues. Another concern we had is that we had trouble getting into the apartment. No directions were given to us for getting in. We knocked on the house door and were given a few set of keys but the place we stayed at had a door keypad and we weren't given the code. The brother in law of the lovely older woman helped us and and we were able to get in and get settled. Once in all was good. Another concern that I pointed out but it wasn't addressed is that there was a parking fee listed in the host fees even though the headline lists free parking. I inquired about this but never got an answer. The parking was still much cheaper than anywhere else I could go so I still booked this place. We did bring a lap top and used that instead of the tv as it was limited in what you could watch. The strength of the internet was not strong enough for streaming in the bedroom. The concerns I mentioned are minor ( except the lack of communication for how to check in). One last thing is that we checked in in the early evening and it was dark, It would have been nice to have lights on in the patio/ courtyard area- the steps down are right by the gate and could have been a bit of a disaster if we didn't see the drop down. All of my concerns are easy to remedy and I would stay there again as it was perfect for the two of us, had easy parking, was clean, and had as easy walk to the Capitol. The neighborhood was really nice. Once at the Capitol you can look for the DC Circulator for easy and cheap transportation around.

This place was roomy, well-equipped, beautifully appointed, and quiet. Great location and free parking in DC! Thanks for a great stay.

Entry down into the apartment might be difficult for older folks or anyone with a disability. For business around the Hill I found this a comfortable, quiet alternative to a hotel. Bring your own device for TV / streaming as the one TV has no cable service and really only allows for you to sign into streaming services you may have for yourself. Also, you may want to bring your own soap for shower and hand washing. Finally, the queen bed mattress is foam, not firm, but rather soft. Not my preference but adequate.(

Great for families
We had a great time in DC and in our stay at this apartment. It's a perfect place for families. We have two teen boys and a pre-teen girl. The boys slept on the two parts of the trundle bed in the living room and the girl slept on an inflatable bed (a nice one, with a bed frame off the floor) in the breakfast nook in the kitchen. The kitchen is fully-equipped, so we had breakfast and dinner there every day and ate out while sight-seeing. On the way home from the metro (Union Station), we would often stop at a small market for dinner ingredients. The apartment is in a great neighborhood, but the walk to Union Station was a little longer than I expected - about 8 blocks. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but we were there during a heat wave - highs in the mid-90s every day - so we were very tired and sweaty by the end of the walk and after a day of sightseeing.
A couple of cons: Parts of the apartment were slightly run down. For example, the microwave handle was broken off (although still functional), the knobs for the dimmer switches were cracked, and the shower door didn't close all the way. (We all loved the shower itself, though. Great water pressure, and we never ran out of hot water, even after 5 showers.)
One tip: The DC Circulator bus stops outside Union Station and makes a loop around all the major monuments on the National Mall - and it's only $1 per person. Each morning we would walk to Union Station and have the option to take either the metro or the bus, depending on our destination, so it was nice to have that flexbility.

Great place.
Super helpful owners and the location is killer. Awesome older neighborhood with a lot of cool architecture. Highly recommended.

Convenient and Sufficient
This property is not The Ritz, but it is not priced like The Ritz either. It is a basement 1 bedroom apartment in a historic home. What it has in spades is convenience! It is close to everywhere you will want to be. We had a blast renting electric scooters and riding all over town. The neighborhood was charming, residential and safe.
As for the apartment, the linens were ample, the bed was comfortable, the down comforter was awesome, the kitchen was sufficiently stocked and it was clean. For me and my kids it was perfect.

Comfy & perfect location
Very nice rental and we would love to stay there again considering how close it is to my daughter's apartment.
We had a bit of an issue with the parking spot when we arrived near midnight, but nearby street parking was available -- the parking spot was available all other days of our stay. The key situation was confusing that first night - one key for the garden gate and a code to release the door knob, but no key to fasten the additional bolt and no way to lock the knob once you're inside -- turns out the door knob locks automatically!
The place itself was quite nice and warm considering the winter weather, but could use a new toaster and fry pans.
Owner is very pleasant but was having some connection issues with VRBO, so she didn't respond to all our communications.

Not Quite as Described
While the apartment was okay for our two week stay and the location was great, I think the VRBO description is a bit too rosy. I did not consider the kitchen to be well-equipped. My camping cookware is in better condition than what was provided, and what was provided needed a good scrubbing. The provided sponges were used, and I could not tell if they were for dishes or for cleaning, as there were cleaning supplies under the sink. We had planned on cooking several meals, but after I saw the cookware, I changed my mind. One of the chairs in the living room was ripped, the bathroom could use some work. When we were in the apartment for the evening, it sounded like the furniture upstairs was being constantly moved, with someone walking back and forth with heels on the wood floor. This would go on late into the night. No instruction was given for check in/check out, and I sent two emails that were never responded to.
