Steps to US Capitol - Library of Congress - Museums

Welcome to the Nation's Capital!
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Location is the name of the game, and that’s where we are champs! Check it out on the map — we are just steps from the U.S. Capitol!
This is a large, bright 1BR 1BA — not a basement — not a shared space — it's your 1000 sq ft private apartment with its own entrance!
Our convenient and safe location has an authentic neighborhood feeling. While staying here, you may run into your favorite (or not) politicians, as "those people" are our neighbors, and so we receive additional protection from the U.S. Capitol Police and their K-9s.
We are half a block (less than three minutes on foot) from the Metro, and are perfectly situated on the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines. You can take the Metro from either Reagan National or Dulles International airports!
We are walking distance to Nationals Stadium (10-15 minutes stroll — GO NATS!), Navy Yard, Eastern Market, restaurants, cafés, parks, a cozy old-fashioned movie theater, and much more.
*** We are fully inspected by the District of Columbia, we have a valid certificate of occupancy and current licenses. ***
Our space sleeps two comfortably. An additional single hotel-style roll-away bed is available (not an air bed) for a third registered guest or for those who prefer not to share the queen bed. A small fee applies, and the roll-away bed MUST be requested at booking time. The sofa is not a sleeper-sofa, and we kindly ask guests not to sleep on it.
YOU GET:
● Peaceful, large, newly carpeted bedroom with queen bed and extremely comfortable memory-foam mattress and pillows
● Smart Flat-Screen TV (Please note we do not have cable TV) which has some limited OTA and streaming channels. You may use your favourite streaming service, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon
● Complimentary super-fast WiFi for this unit only, not shared with anyone else. You're secure!
● Central A/C and heating, controlled by you (NEST)
● Ceiling fans in living room and bedroom
● Tiled bathroom with large shower
● Large, fully equipped Kitchen with granite countertops
● Gas stove and oven
● Microwave
● Dishwasher (detergent provided)
● Toaster
● Electric kettle
● American drip-style and Italian moka coffee makers
● Hair Dryer and Curling Iron
● Iron and Ironing Board
● European-style washer/dryer (single unit) for small loads only (laundry detergent is NOT provided)
● Complimentary Coffee & Teas and basic condiments (oil, vinegar, salt & pepper)
● Shampoo, Conditioner, Shower Gel, Hand Soap
● Bathroom Tissue and Paper Towels
● Linen
● Make-up remover and make-up towels. Dark pillowcases are available in the closet for your use

PLEASE NOTE: CHECK-IN TIME IS 3:00 pm. CHECK-OUT TIME IS 11:00 am. We can sometimes accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs, but we are very closely booked and often it's not possible. Please inquire as far in advance as possible, and we will gladly try to help you.
If you need to leave your luggage and we can't help you, there is a convenient business half a block away which charges a small fee for this service.
We take pride in providing a clean, clutter-free, updated space. If something breaks or doesn't work properly, please let us know.
Because we're so close to the Capitol, and the security situation has changed somewhat, we now require IDs upon reservation confirmation, for each guest. Only registered guests may stay. Please do not have parties.
We will accommodate only certified service animals, but we're sorry to say that other furry friends must stay home.
Book with confidence! A spotless flat has always be our primary goal and the reviews reflect our commitment: Read them yourself! The cleaning team have been with us for more than ten years, and are fully trained on the necessary steps for you to have a safe and comfortable stay. All surfaces (including linens) are cleaned with disinfectants. To limit contact with common surfaces, lights in common areas are motion-activated.
We don't allow smoking inside. You may smoke outside, and there are two seating areas: The front, which is good for people-watching, and the more intimate back patio. We do not provide ash trays.
For your safety and ours, there are exterior security cameras on our property. These cameras are registered with the Metropolitan Police, and, if lawfully requested by proper authority, we will allow video access. Of course, we respect your privacy, and there are no cameras of any kind inside the flat.
Location — Where are we?

3 Blocks from U.S. Supreme Court
5 Blocks from Eastern Market

You don't need a car to explore the city, and you may rent a bike for the day and cycle around. D.C. is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country. There are two D.C. BikeShare stations within a block of our location.
If you use a car, please understand that parking on our block is heavily restricted and you risk being towed if you park without a permit. Please contact us to arrange a permit.
There's a gym, half a block away, that offers daily passes.
Nearby restaurants include local favorites Bullfeathers and Talay Thai. Beer, wine, and spirits are available for sale at several nearby locations.
Within a five-minute walking radius, you can find coffee shops (including Starbucks), banks, dry cleaner, liquor stores, groceries, pharmacies, a U.S. Post Office, and fine restaurants on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Within a 15-minute walk, you'll find Washington's famous Eastern Market, and hot Barracks Row restaurants — including a 2 Michelin-star restaurant. At Eastern Market you can find fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, and a bakery.
There’s also a public swimming pool, which charges a modest daily fee for visitors from out of town.

So convenient

Wonderful property on a quiet street. So close to a Metro station making it incredibly convenient to get around town. Trader Joe’s within walking distance if you want to stock up on snacks and drinks. Lots of food delivery options if you are too tired to go out at the end of the day. Great value for the location. It makes it easy to visit many places during a short stay. We had 3 full days and saw many of the landmarks. I would stay here if I were ever in the area again. Thank you!

Our stay was short but full of memorable experiences. The flat is steps away from a Capitol Bike share station, a Metro station and two blocks south of the Capitol & Library of Congress. With sunny skies we biked everywhere. We recommend a stay highly.

Beautiful apartment near the Capitol

The apartment is in a lovely brick building on a beautiful street. Walking distance to the Capitol and 1-2 blocks from the metro this location made it easy to get around DC. There are also a lot of nice restaurants that are walking distance from the apartment. Not being used to public transportation, we found the Metro clean, affordable and very easy to use.The apartment itself was perfectly clean and well stocked. It was very comfortable and quiet. We especially enjoyed sitting in the front courtyard. Parking was busy but doable, although we rarely needed to move our car since most things were so walkable. The neighborhood is very pretty and felt very safe.The hosts live above the apartment and were very nice. We had one small communication issue before we got there but it was handled perfectly and we had no further issues at all. It was nice to know that they were right there just in case, but we never needed anything.We would definitely stay here again when we visit DC.

Just perfect!!

We are from central GA and were not at all familiar with the area. The apartment was just as described and more. The owners have thought of everything there is to make our stay just as comfortable as if we were in our own home. It is located on a quiet residential street just a couple of blocks from public transit. We have felt 100 percent safe the entire stay. I would recommend anyone visiting Washington, D.C. to stay here!! You will not be disappointed.

Great neighborhood

This well kept and smartly dressed house was welcoming, very clean, and comfortable. So close to the metro (just a half block) that it didn’t matter it rained 4 out of 7 days. We had easy access to the entire town. We would definitely stay again to continue our exploration of all the sites we didn’t get to see. So much to do here! Thank you Marina and James for the helpful suggestions of good eats and things to do.
