Our historic home is situated just two blocks from the US Capitol building. Its location makes exploring Washington, DC a matter of literally walking out the front door! The unit itself is the top-floor apartment of a beautiful, historic Capitol Hill rowhome. The unit is sunny with high ceilings, and over 700 square feet of space lit by eight large windows. The home is elegantly appointed with new, stylish furnishings and locally-inspired artwork. Book with confidence. We are AirBNB Superhosts with a 97% Five-Star rating from previous guests!



Kitchen. Enjoy all stainless-steel appliances, beautiful granite countertops and an upgraded kitchen. Pots, pans, dishes, accessories — you'll find all the tools you need to put together a snack or a feast. Barbecue on the back patio using our provided propane grill. Save time and let us grocery shop for you! Send us a detailed list of your grocery needs at least two days before your check-in and we'll have the fridge stocked when you arrived.

The home itself is equipped with digital keypad door locks. No fumbling with a lockbox when you arrive. Each guest has their own unique code which ensures that you are the only one with access to the unit during your stay. (You can even pick your own code.)

We had a wonderful stay in a charming historic brownstone. It was a five minute walk to the metro, and Aaron generously left 4 pre-paid metro cards for our use. The home is a stones throw from the Capitol building, and was a gorgeous backdrop from the front yard. Aaron was extremely responsive and friendly, and the space was clean, tidy and well stocked. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this charming home.

This was a good location. Very walkable. Aaron was very helpful with things we needed, chairs for the west lawn activities were there when we arrived. We were very surprised to see our favorite coffee there and when we asked for more the delivery was same day! Finally, we were pleased with the Metro passes for our use. However, we assumed by the photos the Whole Foods store was a little closer. It was still walking distance but you want to make sure you don’t buy too many heavy items!

Great location in historic row home. Large trees line the street makes the area feel cooler than some other areas in DC in the summer. Short walk to capital and subway, makes the location great for touring the National Mall. A slightly longer walk to the river (ballpark) area where there was live music.

Amazing location, beautiful historic home, clean interior, amazing host. Only thing I would add is if you’re a light sleeper, perhaps bringing some ear plugs might be a good idea since there are trains running by in the morning! For us we were able to adjust to it within a day or two. Aaron made sure we were comfortable in the airbnb and we had the most amazing stay.

Getting around

Metro. Our amazing location means you can easily walk to DC’s major sights. However, the home is also located just 1.5 blocks from the Capitol South Metro Station (Washington’s subway system). Capitol South Station is served by the Orange, Blue and Silver lines. Guests can hop on Metro to visit locations throughout the Washington, DC area, including Ronald Reagan National Airport, Union Station, the National Zoo, Dulles Airport, several major shopping centers and more. While you’re likely to be walking to/from most of the sights, we provide guests with complimentary pre-paid Metro passes to make using the system even more convenient. The cards can be used on any DC rail or bus system. When you depart, just leave the cards behind for other guests to use. Parking. You won’t need a car during your stay, but if you’re driving to DC, we can facilitate nearby parking free-of-charge. Please contact us for details. Unfortunately, we cannot provide parking for guests making a reservation with less than 24 hours notice.
