About this house rental

3 blocks to H St. or Union Market and 5 blocks to Red Line Metro. We are close to all that Capitol Hill and the H Street Corridor have to offer.

Our home is nearly 120 years old, but we have lovingly restored it without gutting the charm out of it. You'll find all the modern amenities in a classic wrapper. Combining marble, glass, granite, stainless, original hearts of pine wood flooring to create warm and beautiful spaces. Stay in a piece of history in a city steeped in history.

Guests will have the run of the main home on floors 1 and 2 (there is a separate apartment on the garden level that is used by me and my family on occasion). The home has 3 bedrooms upstairs (All 3 with Queen Beds) and one queen sofa Sleeper on the first floor. It also has two full baths. Finally, it has 3 Flat Screen TVs. One 46" big screen TV in the 1st floor living room and a 2nd TV in the Master Bedroom. Both also have Blue Ray/DVD players. And then we also have a 32" flat screen in the 2nd biggest Bedroom. All 3 of those TVs feature Roku Streaming devices (user must have accounts to take advantage of some of the channels like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc). We also have FIOS high speed broadband wireless internet, a fully equipped kitchen, and outdoor deck and patio with a propane gas grill.

We are close to everything in Capitol Hill monument and museum-wise ...either by the Red Line Metro (subway), by bus, or by car. (You don't really need a car, thanks to the various public transportation options, including the Capitol Bike Share system). There is a bus line on Florida Ave. 1/2 block away and on K St. two blocks south. H St. is full of cool bars and restaurants and is only 4 blocks away but far enough to avoid the noise and the crowds (it happens to have a free trolley car running east and west on H St. too). Also, Union Market (2 blocks away) is a great place to hang out, get coffee, fantastic Gelato, fresh bread, fish, meat, vegetables, and fabulous gourmet cheese. The wine selection and prices at the Italian specialty store Litteri 1 1/2 blocks away is fantastic! I will also provide a more comprehensive set of restaurant recommendations upon booking.

The Red Line Metro (DC's subway) is only 5 blocks west, Bus lines at Florida Ave. (1/2 block away), K St. 2 blocks south, or H St. 4 blocks south. Convenient to Balt/Wash Parkway, Rt. 295, and Rt. 395.

We can interact as much as our guests would like to interact with us. We have a second home about an hour away and a guest apartment below the home that we sometimes stay in. If we are there we can interact personally if the guests would like to. Otherwise we are quite responsive to text/email/phone for questions and/or advice. English is our native tongue, but between us we speak French, German and a bit of Spanish. We love showing off our city and the many sights, sounds, and aromas you can find in it. Let us help you plan a day according to your likes, interests, and the amount of time you have available.

We'd like people to treat our home as if it were their own...be comfortable, but respectful. Absolutely NO Smoking is allowed in on our home please and NO pets of any kind. You may smoke on the back patio if you need to. Our severely autistic child is deathly allergic to cigarette smoke and dog dander/hair. Please, Please, Please, DO NOT SMOKE ANYTHING in Our Home. Security deposit funds will be used to professionally clean our home if you smoke in it. Thank you in advance for respecting this rule :)

Check-in is at 4pm and Check-out is at 11am.

We went on a family trip to see the sites of DC. We ended up having to drive to the metro everyday but once we got there(only a 9 min drive to Union station) it was easy. Parking at the house is definitely challenging but by day 4 I was able to get used to it.We used Spothero for parking our 2nd vehicle.The 1st location was 1544 Marion St. and was a nightmare. Terrible customer service and no open spots. Then after many unanswered phone calls, they were texting with me. Asking for pictures of the vehicles parked in the wrong spots. It took almost an extra hour to find another parking spot.We ended up at 524 Rhode Island & it was great. So definitely stay away from the Marion St. Address as its a alleyway and terrible for parking. Back to the house, it was nice. The kitchen could defintely use some updated pots, pans, skillets etc. The skillets were terrible and we definitely had to rethink our meal plans after seeing the inventory we had to work with. More bathroom towels also would be helpful.The biggest complaint we all had (there was 8 of us) was the STAIRS! The wooden stairs were so loud to walk up and down. No matter how big or small you are, there was no quiet way to go up and down without waking people up. By day 2, we were trying to limit going up and down to avoid the noise.The 8 of us fit comfortably in the house. There was plenty of sleeping space (we brought an air mattress also so all the teens could sleep in 1 room).Overall, it was a nice trip & home.

We loved being able to walk to the national mall as well as buy groceries for our stay from this location. The place was clean and homey. Greg was great to communicate with and responded quickly to some tourist questions we had. We would definitely recommend this VRBO to family and friends. The only tricky part was the parking, but that pretty much goes with any big city.

I am wondering if you would be willing to Have a journal for guests to sign in? We loved the Taco place right on the corner. (Far east taco) the metro is less than a mile. The heat in the house is funky. So we were hot upstairs and cold in the kitchen. This is typical in an older house. Very resonantly priced for a family of 5. I would have liked to have some type of spray to clean the counters, specifically for the stone. My highlights separate from the house was the Holocaust museum and the Spy museum. Joan

Historic home in NE DC. Well stocked with all the essentials. The nearby H St and Union Market entertainment districts have been revitalized. The house is 10-20 min walk to Metro, coffee, restaurants, etc..

We had a great time staying at this old house. Our host, Greg, could not have been more accommodating and made sure we could contact him for anything. The kitchen was more than adequately stocked and Greg provided high quality coffee, spices and condiments. We had a 4 yr old who loved the kid’s easy chair and all of the games provided. The beds were comfortable. Everything was very clean. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to DC.
