About this property

Beautiful restored historic home, steps from the Capitol and Metro. Sleeps 8

At the heart of historic Eastern Market, is a rowhouse that was on the Historic Restoration Home Tour in 2026 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.

Nat and Chantal described their property perfectly - and it was better than expected when we arrived. The location was ideal for touring the city (close to the metro and within walking distance of many places we wanted to see), comfortable, spotlessly clean and well-appointed. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a great place to stay in a city full of awesome things to see.

We stayed here with our four teenage grandchildren and their two parents. The host responded quickly to our requests. We loved that it is close to the US Capitol, the metro station, and Trader Joes. We received a parking pass for our car. We were enchanted with the historicity of the apartment.

This was the perfect home base for our family of six while we explored DC. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the historic character—it made our stay feel even more special. The host was easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. The neighborhood felt safe, and we were able to walk to the Capitol and many of the other sights. We'd definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Washington, DC.

The location was fantastic. Easy to get to the Metro, walk to the capital, or get some of the best espresso in the country. The owner was extremely responsive and easy to work with. He was able to share some excellent places to go and times of day to see things. The house has a history of its own and was really easy for all six of us to sleep.

The home was beautiful in and out, a real historic beauty. It sits on a cute street in the beautiful Capitol Hill neighborhood. Trader Joes and restaurants are just a couple of blocks away. The parking is streetside, but spots are relatively easy to come by. We walked to the Mall with no issues - it wasn't just around the corner, but easily walkable. Nat, the host, was quick to respond to my questions and was helpful when I goofed up the access steps. The steps were simple, I just failed to read the email. And when the day's done, the back porch was a great place to hang out. Tons of greenery and just a nice setting all around. I can't wait to come back to DC and stay in this home again! Seriously!

This was one of the most special properties we’ve stayed in. Such a gem! We loved the historical charm of the home and the location was perfect. We walked to several different coffee shops, bakeries and Trader Joe’s. We were walking distance to the Capital Building. This home is just lovely - we felt as though we were staying in a museum. Thank you for such a memorable and comfortable stay for our family of six.

We had an amazing stay here in DC. The location was absolutely perfect and made it easy to explore the city while still feeling comfortable and relaxed at the house. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully prepared, and the hosts clearly put effort into making our stay feel welcoming and special.The house itself added so much to the experience. The theater room in the basement was a huge hit with our family and made the trip even more fun. We also loved spending time in the backyard, which was peaceful and relaxing after long days exploring the city. The neighborhood felt safe, charming, and full of character.We truly loved our time here and plan to absolutely stay again.

This place is fantastic! The hosts are amazing! The home is beautiful. The location is great. 10 out of 10 for sure. The house may be over 150 years old, but it does not look it, and it has all the modern conveniences one would expect (and more). The house is oozing with charm and character that you will not find anywhere else. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We had a wonderful stay. The hosts are amazing, super chill, and so very helpful. Probably the nicest hosts I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. Next time we go to DC we will definitely be staying here again.

Charming historic Capitol Hill home with lots of character and a great location. However, several things impacted our stay: allergy flare-ups due to past cat presence (not disclosed), a leaking air mattress, worn bedding, and only one parking pass for a multi-bedroom rental. Some appliance instructions would also help. With better transparency and small upgrades, this could be a great stay.
