Our three-bedroom home is in an unbeatable location steps to the National Mall and US Capitol. Walk to all of DC's sights or hop on the Metro just around the corner. Experience the charm of exposed brick walls and all hardwood floors while enjoying the modern conveniences of a recent renovation. Savor delicious bites from Whole Foods grocery store just 2.5 blocks away. Our 97% five star rating from previous guests and our generous cancellation policy means you can book with confidence.Our historic home is situated two blocks to the US Capitol building. Its location makes exploring Washington, DC a matter of literally walking out the front door! The unit itself is the first floor and lower-level of a beautiful Capitol Hill rowhome. The unit is over 1400 square feet, has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room (seats eight). 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!



Beds. You'll find two bedrooms with high-quality queen-sized Saatva plush soft mattresses and a third bedroom with two plush twin mattresses. In the living room is a queen-sized sleeper sofa with a MiracleFoam mattress. There is an additional twin-sized foam mattress pull out sleeper sofa on the lower level. We provide all the necessary linens and blankets for a good night's sleep. Rest assured, all pillows and bedding are hypoallergenically sealed for comfort and hygiene. A Pack 'n Play crib is also included.



Bath. The unit has two full bathrooms. One bathroom includes a combination tub and shower with double vanity. The other bathroom has a shower and single vanity. We provide towels, as well as a starter kit of shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Leave the hair dryer at home. We have that, too.



Entertainment. After a long day of touring DC, kick back in front of one of our large LED-screen televisions -- one in each bedroom and living room -- equipped with premium on-demand TV. Of course, the home is also equipped with wireless high speed internet and some classic board games in case of a rainy day.



Safety. Given its proximity to the Capitol, the area around the home is constantly patrolled by the US Capitol Police.



Other amenities: The unit also includes an iron, ironing board, cleaning supplies, foldable grocery/shopping cart and in-unit efficiency washer and dryer.



Other things to note: A nearby passenger train runs during the daytime as early as 6:20 AM. It's not something we get complaints about, but nonetheless we want our guests to be informed about it as it could be a disturbance to some. At night, the area turns quiet and peaceful to let you rest and reflect on the day's activities.



There are two, completely separate units in our home. We (or sometimes other guests) will be staying in the other unit. However, both units have private spaces and entrances.



Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs. Check-in time is anytime after 3:00pm and check-out time is anytime before 11:00am. We can, however, normally accommodate guests who need to drop off their luggage as early as 12:00pm.

“Unbelievable location with everything you need and great communication ”
I don't even know where to start except wow. Aaron's home made our birthday trip one that we will never forget. The location cannot be beaten...a ten minute walk to the capitol building, right around the corner from the Metro, and easy walking distance to restaurants around Capitol Hill. Whole Foods was an easy fifteen minute walk away to pick up a few food items to have at the house. We were able to walk to Mass at St. Peter's on Ash Wednesday. The house was spotless and cozy. The Amtrak that runs behind the house didn't disturb us at all. It was the perfect alarm clock to get us up and moving at 6:29 each morning. It was so surreal to look out the window and see the Washington Monument and to walk to the sidewalk and look down the street to the Capitol. For great food close by, don't miss We the Pizza, Bullfeathers, or Tune Inn. Aaron is an amazing host. He reached out before our arrival and after to make sure we had everything we needed, and the Metro passes were loaded and ready on the table when we arrived. We were sad to leave because there was so much more still to see and do. We will certainly try to book with Aaron when we visit DC again.

“Absolutely fabulous--best stay ever ”
Best location for being close to all the DC attractions. Very clean, didn't even notice the trains (we did use the space heater for white noise at night), kitchen was stocked with basic supplies so cooking was a breeze. Only a 5 minute walk to the metro. Trader Joe's is one metro stop away so we ended up cooking almost every meal instead of going out. We felt very safe. With the townhouse being so close to the Capitol there were police and security guards around and we felt safe walking around late in the evening. Clean, convenient, comfortable. We would definitely stay again when in DC.

“Wonderful!”
This is a very nice place. Clean, convenient, thoughtful hosts, comfortable beds. The metro cards were a very nice touch, they made it so easy to get around. The train running behind the rental didn't bother us at all. Don't hesitate to book this if you are visiting the DC area!

This place was in an excellent location wrt the DC Mall and all of the museums, monuments, etc. We walked to most of our tours of museums, etc. But in addition it was very convenient to the South Capital Metro link which we used a couple of times.

Getting around

Metro. Our amazing location means you can easily walk to DC’s major sights. However, the home is also located just around the corner from the Capitol South Metro Station (Washington’s subway system). Capitol South Station is served by the Orange, Blue and Silver lines. Guests can simply hop on Metro to visit locations through out the Washington, DC area, including Ronald Reagan National Airport, Dulles Airport, Union Station, the National Zoo, 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.
