About this property

Cozy Capitol Hill Garden Apartment, behind Capitol

Update : VRBO will at times block dates that may be open and its customer service platform is VERY slow to respond. Recommend also visiting other sites to view our rental as well.

Just a 10 minute walk from the museums on the Mall, and a 5 minute walk from Eastern Market & Union Station metro stops, this newly renovated apartment is an ideal location whether you're visiting DC for business or pleasure.

This charming apartment is the garden level of our Capitol Hill rowhome on historic East Capitol Street. The 700 sq ft apartment features tin ceiling, wainscoting, and polished brick floors. It's minutes from the sights, restaurants, museums and night life of Barracks Row & H St.

The kitchen, bathroom, and brick floors, were completely renovated in 2013. The kitchen is full service (fridge, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, disposal) and equipped with a coffee maker, toaster, pots and pans, dinnerware, and basic utensils.
There is a small laundry washer and dryer for those longer stays.

The bedroom features a queen bed. We can also provide a spare queen-size foldable memory foam mattress (that can be laid on the floor). Sleep arrangements best suit 2 adults, and will be a snug fit for 2 adults with 1-2 small children or 3 adults.

All sheets/towels/shampoo and soap are provided.

The main living space has a table that seats four, a couch, chair, a desk, a 27 inch flat screen TV with cable provided. (We simply ask that you not order movies /shows off the cable, as this will incur a charge). Also, we provide free wifi.

We live in the upstairs unit of the house, if there are any questions, we are easily available to assist.

PLEASE NOTE: stairs
There are several steps down to the apartment. You will need to be able to climb stairs freely, without assistive device or rail to be able to access apartment.

PET POLICY: please inquire, we are dog friendly for well-behaved, non destructive, house-trained dogs, (if you have doubts, please crate your pup, we’ve experienced some wear from pets in the past so please be considerate if your pup is a mischievous one). $50 pet fee per stay.
We are not able to accommodate other types of pets/animals.

There is a $115 cleaning fee per visit.
# Check-in Time is 4:00 PM
# check-out is 11:00 AM. (This is to allow time for our turnover cleaning.)

For cancellation: if notified 30 days in advance, we offer a full refund; if notified 15 days in advance, a 50% refund; and if notified less than 14 days in advance, no refund.


A NOTE ABOUT PARKING :
street parking only as of June 2026 and we can provide guest pass.

Our street is well lit and our house is across from a Daycare, so it's safe- but as it is a city, we recommend removing any belongings in plain view from your vehicle.
If you don't want to park on the street, you can park at Union Station, which is a 5 minute cab ride or a 15 minute walk to the apartment.
Also, there’s a public parking lot on 649 C St. SE.

Laundry was super convenient. small washer but thats what fits and it did a great job. within walking distance to the capitol. we actually walked from our train ride. very nice neighborhood. Millie is very responsive. It is small. but we enjoyed cozy. 2 adults and teenager. they have a foldout mattress that the our teenager slept on at foot of bed. she was weirded out about no shades on front door. didnt bother us though. Would definitely stay here over a hotel. no problems getting ubers if needed also. Loved it.

A very lovely & Interesting basement apartment. Both modern and historic vibe. Almost perfect. It is situated in a awesome Capitol Hill Neighborhood, just blocks away from the Capitol and Eastern Market Area. The apartment had all the amenities for a long visit including street parking.We had a wonderful quiet 7-day stay. Metro and Bus stops were well within walking distance as DC is just not a car town.The Eastern Market (10 min. walk) is full of shops & restaurants with great food and service for everyone. Grocery, Pharmacy, Alcohol, Clothing. We found out on Saturday they close additional street access and turn the area into a full block size Bazaar.Only one issue cropped up. The toilet was acting up and we contacted the owners on the first morning about it. Alas, we had to resort to filling it with a bucket for the majority of our stay. It did get fixed 2 days before we left.Our May visit let us find a very bustling city full of people. Most monuments and museums were a bit crowded. Some places only allow around 300 people a day and were on a recreation.gov website ticketing system. Getting out and about to your destination early is key!Overall Great Place.

We spent five nights in this charming apartment, and would definitely book there again. It's in a great location, with easy and thoughtful communication with the host a big plus. Thanks for adding to our memorable trip by providing a great "home base".
