About this property

Spacious & Airy 1-BR near Eastern Mkt/Capitol

Large (800 sq.ft.) 1BR next to Eastern Market, Barrack’s Row and Eastern Market Metro with direct access to Reagan Nat Airport. Short walk to the US Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and some of the best food in the city.

THE SPACE
The one-bedroom sits at the end of a block facing south, which sets it up for maximum sunlight. It includes a fireplace, full kitchen, enormous closet space, a new Queen pull-out sofa, washer/dryer, dishwasher, WIFI, Cable TV with Netflix. Enjoy a cup of coffee first thing every morning with a Nespresso machine and complimentary pods. There are two book shops, a Trader Joes, Bullfrog Bagels and a vintage movie theater around the corner. The washer and dryer allow you to easily do laundry, ideal for both short and long-term stays. It is the perfect spot to explore DC, visit family, work on the Hill, or just walk around the beautiful Capitol Hill neighborhood.

The apartment easily accommodates 4 people (two (2) queen beds: one bed and one sleeper sofa). Please make the reservation for the number who will stay in the apartment to make sure it is properly stocked. The apartment is keyless entry. You will receive the code to access the unit in advance of your arrival.

GUEST ACCESS
The apartment is a 5 min walk to Eastern Market Metro (silver, orange, and blue lines). There is also the DC Circular, a $1 bus that takes you from Eastern Market to many of the sites in the city. Finally, there are many City Bike rentals within a five block radius, and we're happy to lend you some helmets if you like.

PARKING
Street parking passes are available upon request — just ask when booking and we are happy to make the arrangements. There is also a paid parking garage one block away.

Other things to note

The apartment has its own separate entrance. However, unlike some short-term rentals, we actually live upstairs in the building. That means my wife and I can answer your questions or address any issues you might have straight away. We want to make your stay in Washington DC as enjoyable as possible. We love our place and hope you will too.

Perfect home base for kids’ first trip to DC!

Great central location in DC for seeing the sights! Having a kitchen with 2 kids in tow is always a plus, BUT there were so many restaurants, including super cute breakfast spots, within a 5-10 minute walk that we ate out most of the time! The owner (Mark) was in touch throughout the process to ensure we had what we needed upon arrival (including some chocolate pretzels for the kiddos)! Our kids are young enough to share the sofa bed (which they reported back was very comfy with the pillows and comforter) so there was plenty of space for our family of 4! Overall a great place to stay when visiting DC! Would highly recommend!

Excellent DC stay with family

Nice lower level home in a quiet neighborhood. We walked to Capitol Hill and the National Mall museums one day and used Capitol Bike share on another day. Location was great. We ate dinner at a couple restaurants in walking distance and there is a small Trader Joe's nearby so we could get a few items for our stay. Parking was easy on the street near the home. The home was very clean and the owner is nearby and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend this rental.

Father Daughter Stay

My father was coming to town to help with a renno project we have going on two block's up from this property. I was so glad we found something in our neighborhood that was comfortable, clean, and wonderfully appointed. The owners REALLY care about their space and live on site. The sofa best was west elm which shocked me that they would have something so nice for a rental ! The cleanliness was the best part for us, no dust balls, nothing felt grimy or dusty, very fastidious. The LOCATION!!! Doesn't get better than this folks, take it from a local ;)

Best Location on Capitol Hill!

This is the second time we’ve stayed with Mark and Amy, and we’ll definitely be back soon! This is by far our favorite place to stay on Capitol Hill. The apartment is very clean, the kitchen has everything you need, and the location can’t be beat - close to Eastern Market, the metro, and the Capitol. Highly recommend!

Lovely stay in the heart of Capitol Hill

This was ideal for several days visiting the museums, historic sites, and government buildings of the Hill and Mall area with an energetic 3rd grader. Its location allowed us to walk to every place on our list and then take the Metro home at day's end. The apartment itself was comfortable, pleasant, and well-equipped, and the owner-host gracious and helpful.

Super clean and convenient to the Metro. The apartment was big, bright and airy. All beds deemed great by the family. Mark and Amy were lovely and helpful hosts and quick to reply to all our requests. Delightful, homey neighborhood with easy access to restaurants and Trader Joes.

Fantastic Apartment, Perfect Location

We stayed at this apartment for 5 days as a family of 3 to visit DC. The size was perfect for us, it was spotless and bright for a lower level apartment. The location was easy - located near a trader joes for shopping (there is a kitchen), lots of restaurants, the bus stop was easy for getting to the museums and mall, and there was even a playground for our kid. Highly recommend!

Great communication with Amy and Mark and great place to stay- the couch and the air mattress worked well for the teens and the bed was comfortable in the guest room. Nice short walk to the metro and a short ride to the National Mall. Would stay here again- great stay, thank you!

Ideal place! Loved it!!

Mark and Amy’s place is situated on a beautiful tree lined street in the Eastern Market neighborhood with restaurants, coffee shops and Metro stop a few minutes away. Capitol, Supreme Court and library of congress were all within walking distance. The place itself was well appointed. It had everything we needed. Bed and couch were comfortable, shower was great which is a huge plus for me, plenty of towels, and 2 types of coffee makers with complimentary coffee. So, very happy with accommodations but what really stood out was when we needed to print out an eleven page document to sign and send back immediately, Mark was very happy to help us out! Hugely helpful!!! It Would have eaten into our vacation day, so grateful for his assistance!! I would highly recommend their place. Really terrific

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Amy

Amy and I, and our parakeet, Zeke, moved to Washington DC two years ago from Cleveland. Amy directs a research organization in Washington. I'm a professor of Political Science Amy grew up in New Jersey learning Bruce Springsteen lyrics and fighting for social and economic justice. I grew up in California, speak fluent German (German politics is what I research), and traveled throughout much of Europe, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. To be clear: we love Bruce Springsteen.

Why they chose this property

Three things set our apartment apart: first, the location is special. We're located a block from the Eastern Market, a 5 minute walk from Barrack's Row/8th street shopping, 5 minutes from Eastern Market Metro and a 15 minute walk to the US Capital/Supreme Court. You don't need a car when you stay in our place. Second, the apartment is large, clean, comfortable, and sunny. It's ideal for families with kids, grandparents who want to visit family in the area, and those with business in the city. And finally, my wife and I live in the building, own and manage the property, and have traveled a lot our selves. We are not a management company. So if you have a question or concern, we're a knock, a text of phone call away to make sure you have a good experience.
