Does the perfect Washington, DC location exist?… Yes. Yes, it does and I’m going to tell you why:)
Welcome to my neighborhood, the historic Eastern Market neighborhood on Capitol Hill! Now let's get to the fun stuff.
General Information About the Location:
Where you will be staying is in the heart of Historic Eastern Market Neighborhood, a sub-neighborhood of Capitol Hill. For full-time residents of Washington, D.C., Eastern Market is one of the most desirable neighborhoods to live in. Our opinion is that Eastern Market has a more authentic D.C. neighborhood feel than Georgetown. Not to mention a more convenient location to tour museums, eat at neighborhood restaurants, attend sporting events, and go to concerts. We can't forget to mention that Eastern Market has a metro stop within a 3-minute walk and gives you access to the whole city….well besides Georgetown which does not have a metro stop….yikes. But don't take this the wrong way, you will definitely want to spend a day or few hours walking around Georgetown:)
Food and Dining:
Restaurants: There are over 175 restaurants within a mile and a half of where you will be staying. From ultra high-end restaurants to greasy pizza shops we have something for everyone.
Coffee Shops: You can have your pick of coffee shops within a 5 - 7 minute walk you can choose from national chains like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. If you prefer boutique local options we have plenty of those options as well with Peregrine Espresso and Radici to name a few.
Grocery Stores: If you feel like cooking in one of our well-equipped kitchens. Within 15 minutes you will have a Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, Trader Joe's, Safeway, and Yes Organic.
Shopping
If you are looking to get in a little retail therapy while you are visiting, Eastern Market is packed with a bunch of fun, diverse shops. You can travel to City Center and visit the section of ultra-high-end retail. There are large store brands like Macy’s, Nordstrom Rack, and H&M downtown.
Big Time Attractions Within Walking Distance
The National Mall - Is a 20-minute walk from where you will be staying. Our friends at Wikipedia described it well “The long, grassy National Mall is home to iconic monuments including the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. At the eastern end is the domed U.S. Capitol (*a 15 min walk from where you will be staying), and the White House is to the north. It's also flanked by Smithsonian museums, and its lawns and pathways are often crowded with school groups, joggers, and softball teams. Nearby, the Tidal Basin reservoir is known for its blossoming cherry trees”
The Wharf and Navy Yard: If you are looking for a more modern experience or want to attend a sporting event. Navy Yard and the Wharf are great spots and all within 2 miles.
Nationals Park and Audi Field are both with a 30 Minute Walk
Dancing and Late Night Locations:
There are plenty of bars around Capitol Hill, The Wharf, Navy Yard, and walkable locations around where you will be staying. But if you want to go where the most activity is from 10 pm to 2 am we would recommend you hop in an Uber or Lyft and head over to U Street/14th Street in NW DC. It is a 15-30 minute ride to that area and you will find a diverse blend of nightlife options. You can also take the metro but keep in mind service stops at Midnight.
If you are driving to DC we can offer on-street parking and with notice an off-street parking spot. There are also parking garages nearby that will cost about 35-50 a night for parking.
Flights:
DCA: Also known as Reagan International Airport is the most convenient airport. You can either take the metro or a 15-45 minute Uber ride, depending on traffic.
Dulles (IAD): Dulles International Airport is approximately an hour drive from the big blue carriage house by car.
BWI: BWI is approximately a 45-minute drive from the big blue carriage house
Trains:
If you were taking the Amtrak into Union Station then you have a couple of options to get to the blue carriage house.
Walking: 1.2 miles which according to map programs will take you 30min. If you don’t have a ton of luggage and the Weather is nice it is an incredible walk by the capitol building and other historic buildings
Uber: 7-10min based on traffic
Metro: The metro stop at Eastern market is a three-minute walk away.
Unfortunately, there is not a metro stop at union station on the same line so taking the metro is not the most convenient. You will have to transfer from the Orange/Silver/Blue line to the red line at gallery place.
Bus: There are buses available
Scootering: There are scooters available through rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft.

Great location with easy access to Eastern Market and Metro. The space was very clean and the communication with property managers was easy. It has a movie room but no living room. My family got together around the large kitchen table.

Great place which is near the Eastern Market Metro station, about 3 minutes walk. The kitchen table with the long table is a great place for us to gather and catch up. Kids loved to hang with us in that area also. Kam is great and responded in timely manner. He has provided great tips for sight seeing and how to get around using the metro system. The house is festive which our kids love. If we ever return to DC, we definitely stay there.

We were in DC for a concert at the anthem & this location worked out so well for us. Walkable to so many sites & metro as well so we were able to pack a lot into the one full day we had! The host, Kam was so welcoming, responsive & helpful throughout booking to checkout & after even. Attention to detail for sure and we will definitely stay again when back in DC.
