About this property

At the heart of historic Eastern Market, is a rowhouse that was on the Historic Restoration Home Tour just waiting for you and your family! One of the few rowhouses that have been completely modernized and restored while still maintaining the old Federal charm, it will be comfortable and exactly what you are looking for as you tour the Nations Capitol. 8 blocks from The Capitol, and one stop on the metro from the National Mall and the Smithsonian museums. We also have a Trader Joe’s at Eastern Market for grocery shopping! Steps away from the Metro, Barracks Row shopping and eating, Nationals Stadium and the Capitol itself, this location cannot be beat! No car necessary when staying here as we are a 10 minute Uber ride from Reagan National Airport. Did we also mention we have a backyard complete with Solo Stove, Weber Grill and Outdoor Heater. So grab your groceries for the week down the street at the two grocery stores (Safeway and Trader Joe’s) and save some money while you are here. An alarm system will keep your luggage and souvenirs safe while out and about.

Historic DC home

This is beautiful home! Large, comfortable rooms. Kitchen is awesome with lots of high end amenities. Kids loved the basement with the big TV. Perfect location to relax after a day in DC. The walk to the closest metro was .4 miles

Beautiful and comfortable home in very central part of Capital Hill

We were three adults and two children enjoying all that DC has to offer. Our hosts were gracious and accommodating. The property couldn’t be more beautiful and is clearly restored with love. The location made it easy for us to see anything we wanted to with minimal travel time. The kitchen and accommodations also made it easy for us to cook in and enjoy family time after a long day of seeing the sights. We thoroughly enjoyed and plan to return again.

Beautiful property. Great location, centrally located

Beautiful property. Great location, centrally located. A little tight for 10 people, specially since there was no closet space for guest to use as they were all full with owner's belongings. Was worried we would accidentally break some of the decorations as the house had them all over the house (very pretty, though). Overall a great experience.

Great location and charming property

The house was very nice and clean and well-appointed. Amenities like quality of linens and kitchenware was far superior than most places you will ever stay. Every space very nicely updated and the location was exceptional. You can walk to many excellent restaurants and the Metro. The Trader Joe's is just down the street for some provisions. My only possible criticism would be there's no place comfortable to gather in this house to enjoy a glass of wine with friends, apart from the back patio. The back patio and garden space is spacious and lovely. Overall, we had a great experience.

Fantastic family vacation!!!

My family stayed here for 5 nights in March and had a fantastic stay. The home is very family friendly with lots of room and all the comforts of home. We have 3 kids (11, 10, and 8) and there was more than enough space for us all to have a separate space but also be together. The kitchen was stock with anything you may need to make meals and enjoy time together as a family. The location is great only being a few blocks from the Eastern Market. We picked up fresh vegetables and meats everyday to cook. Also enjoyed walking to the local coffee shop each morning to grab coffee and a danish before headed out for our adventures for the day. The location is great only being blocks East of the Capital and 3 blocks from the Metro station. We would absolutely stay here again if we make it back to DC! Thanks Chantal for making it a memorable experience!!

GREAT FAMILY CHRISTMAS VACATION!!

Our blended family of 10 (ages 9 to 49) enjoyed our Christmas week in this nice old Row House in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood. The neighborhood is nice and the location was great, a few blocks from the Eastern Metro Line and Eastern Market. The Eastern Market is WONDERFUL! We bought fresh produce and fruit a couple times that week; pork chops for the grill & bacon for breakfast. The house is about a 15-20 minute walk to the grocery store – Safeway. You can even walk to the Capitol and Botanic Gardens, just a straight shot down Independence Street. You will pass many cute shops, Starbucks and restaurants while walking around the neighborhood. We did not have a car; there was no need for one, Metro is convenient and inexpensive. House was well maintained & owners put up a Christmas tree in living room, which was a nice touch. Kitchen was easy to cook in; it did not have everything we needed, but we made it work. We especially loved being able to grill out one night on the back patio. House met our needs with the exception of beds, VRBO Ad states 3rd bedroom has 3 twin and it only has 2 twin beds. Owner was accommodating in getting another air mattress for the basement. One thing worth mentioning - the owners live in the house when not being rented… it is very cluttered, therefore, there is no place to hang or put your things, you will be living out of your suitcase. It would be nice to have some closet, drawers, and open surfaces to put things. Owners Nat & Chantal were nice and let us do an early check-in on our day of arrival. We would recommend this house to anyone with a large family or group (of 10 or less) who wants to visit DC – there is so much to see and do – you will not be disappointed.

Great DC Space!

This is a great property to visit our Nation's Capital. It is located just off the Mall. We walked to the Capital the first night and my kids were in awe of the beauty of the Mall at night. This location is a quick walk to the Metro, Trader Joes, and many restaurants at Eastern Market. We also found the availability of escooters and bikes at the Metro station fun to tour the city.

Wonderful

We had an amazing time visiting all the sites in DC and having this lovely home to come back to everyday was ideal. The location was great and parking was plentiful. We were there over the Fourth of July, it was extremely hot and humid, and this home provided much needed relief. The AC was more than adequate and we were thankful. The hosts were easily accessible by phone, we thank them for a wonderful time.

Lovely, historic home in beautiful neighborhood

This house is beautifully decorated, walkable to Eastern Market metro, and well appointed kitchen. Hosts live here and move downstairs to basement apt during occupancy. They were helpful, and plenty of towels, great beds, linens, etc. Great airconditioning system for the DC humidity. Kitchen is fully equipped, although we didn't use it except for coffee machine. Lots of great places to eat in Eastern Market area where you catch the Metro. We started in the market itself as our guidebook said they have the best crabcakes in DC and we agreed. We stayed here with three adults and three 13 year old grandkids and all were comfortable. Be aware, this is a pre-1900s house, so stairs are narrow and steep, but manageable, and our Midwest teens loved that it was so old and connected with DC history. It would have been nice to have some written quidelines, but we managed and owners were responsive and helpful, plus nearby. It is about a mile walk from here to Union Station and/or Congress. We took the metro for other sights farther along the National Mall.

Love this place!

This house is so full of character, warmth and history! There is Washington DC memorabilia on the walls and the bookshelves are home to many interesting books. It was so clean with very comfortable beds! The yard is beautiful! We really enjoyed relaxing in the evening with a glass of wine after a long day of sightseeing! Cooking was a breeze in this kitchen as it was well stocked with everything we needed. The location is so convenient to everything and in a great and safe neighborhood! We even walked to the store several times. Chantel and Nathaniel were awesome making everything so easy from check-in to check-out! We will definitely be back! Thanks Chantel and Nathaniel for making our DC trip wonderful!

Great home - great location.

Thank you Wienecke's for sharing you historic home with out family. The house is very well furnished, great beds, fully stocked kitchen and comfy furniture in the basement. The house has charming character with floor squeaks, narrow staircases and a modern kitchen that makes you feel right at home. It is a great place to stay, when we come back to DC we would definitely stay here again. The house is in a great renewed neighborhood that is within walking distance to major sites; the US Capital is a short 25 minute walk. Bus lines are less than a block away, coffee shop, restaurants, bars and the Eastern Market are less than a 10 minute walk. It is a good "home" base location to explore Washington DC. This is a great home in a great location!

Great house! Great Location!

My family of 7 recently stayed at this wonderful house. We loved staying in the Eastern Market area of Washington, D.C. because of the warm, home-like feel of the neighborhood (Trader Joe's is nearby). With a short 5-6 block walk you're at the Metro station. The home wonderfully accommodated us and was our respite after a long day of sightseeing. The kitchen was well appointed, the bedrooms were comfortable and we enjoyed watching movies in the downstairs living room! Chantal was attentive and quickly available to answer any questions or concerns. We would stay at this home again!

Great Eastern Market Location!

The Eastern Market is ranked in the top 10 neighborhoods in the country! It has everything you need within walking distance including the National Mall. The location is perfect for a D.C. trip. The row home was well kept and provided us everything we needed for our family vacation. I would definitely recommend this home for anyone that is looking to discover D.C. and wants a location that is conducive to seeing all of the sights!

Lovely Historic Home

The moment I walked in the home I loved the historic interior. There was 8 of us (4 couples). The backyard was wonderful as that is where we spent most of our time. We were only in the house to cook and sleep. The location was great. I think I misunderstood Chantal regarding the sleeping arrangements as it did not accommodate 4 couples comfortably. Other than that it was a great time. Chantal was a great hostess and I really enjoyed visiting with her and her husband. Thank you Chantal!
