About this property

Historic Capitol Hill home near restaurants, shops, public transit, and parks!

Welcome to "Your Capitol Hill Homestead"!
The Homestead is perfect for out-of-town family visits, sightseeing, or a space for those temporarily working in the city. The home has lots of light, spacious rooms, and comfort not found in many stays. Some amenities include a gourmet equipped kitchen, a fenced-in backyard, and permit-free parking. Located near restaurants, shops, public transportation, and parks. We are tucked in the center of a quiet block in the Historic Capitol Hill neighborhood.

The Property:
This house is a two-bedroom and 2.5-bath home with an open floor plan on the main level. You enter the home from the street up 9 stairs to the front porch and main level. The main level has an entryway, dining room, living room, kitchen, and half bath. With the two bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, and an air mattress available, 11 stairs up. Outside is a backyard and porch, 5 stairs down to the yard.

While there are a ton of amazing dining options within walking distance if you prefer to do it yourself, walk to the nearby Eastern Market farmer's market on Saturdays and Sundays. Groceries nearby are Safeway, Trader Joe's, and Yes! Organic Market to make use of the fully stocked kitchen. The kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, toaster, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, dishwasher, in-sink garbage disposal, oven, and 5-burner range. Kitchenware includes pots, pans, silverware, plates, cups, and glassware. As well as, other household appliances such as a crockpot, air fryer, waffle maker, and blender.

Please note: While this house has gone through extensive renovations, our home was built in 1910. Some characteristics are authentic to the home and hold the charm of living in an older space.

Guest Access:
Permit-free street parking is plentiful in front of the apartment on the right side of the street. For long-term guests, neighborhood-zoned guest parking passes are available. Most guests who drive here park their car and forget about it for the duration of their stay as the area is accessible via walking, bike share, ride share, or public transportation. Generally, these are more convenient and worry-free ways to get around town. We are just 4 blocks from the Stadium-Armory metro station. And within a 20-minute walk to the Potomac Metro Station, the Eastern Market Metro Station, and Union Station. Within a 1.5-mile walk, you can also reach Marine Barracks/Barracks Row, US Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Lincoln Park, H Street Corridor, and many great dining and grocery locations. Also, our home is along the blue metro line with access to Reagan National Airport and the silver metro line with access to Dulles International Airport. There are capital bike-share racks on both ends of our block. As well as easy bus access to multiple bus lines.

PURE PERFECTION!

My husband, my sister in law, brother in law and I were 100% happy with this VRBO. The communication was quick and easy. The home was not only clean, it was cozy and comfortable. There were various “extras” like K-cups, poopourri, and hand lotion. We saw everything we needed, but IF we were to return to the area we 100% would rebook this home.

Wonderful DC visit

We had a wonderful stay in this Capital Hill home. A perfect location, easily accessible by the Metro. The home is beautiful and very well appointed with comfy furnishings and a nicely stocked kitchen (we will forever have kitchen envy especially about the special spice cabinet). Communication with Grace was easy and gracious, a terrific host. Best restaurant in the area is Pacci - yummy large portions with plenty for leftovers the next day. You won’t go wrong with your stay in this home/location while visiting DC.

Washington, DC Total Comfort

Just finished a 3-day weekend in DC (family of 3) and couldn't have been happier, more comfortable, or better situated than in this updated and well-appointed historic Capitol neighborhood home. Everything is just as it is presented in the listing -- except the communications with the owner Grace were beyond anything I could have ever expected. Our trip was plagued with schedule and itinerary changes and Grace was more accommodating with each version I presented -- handled everything "Grace-fully!" Uber was our transport of choice -- never had to wait more than a few minutes for pickup -- and everywhere we wanted to go was easily within 5 - 7 minute rides. And the proximity to the Capitol and the Mall from such a quiet and friendly neighborhood was a bonus.The house is beautiful and quiet -- very comfortable open floor plan, welcoming family room with comfortable furniture, very well-equipped kitchen, incredibly comfortable beds and bathrooms. All contributed to a restful getaway once we returned from our "tourist" visits.Book it!RickColorado

What a find!!!*****

This place was perfect in all ways. The neighborhood is a safe, family-oriented area with lots of trees and well-kept gardens. The home was impeccable and had everything we needed. Being there for only a weekend, we could not take full advantage of all the home had to offer. We could have staged a Thanksgiving dinner there. The AC worked well - something we really care about. The front room was a bit bright in the mornings, so bring eye-shades. The master was dark and cozy in the mornings - have not slept so well in months. I wish we had more time to spend in this home. Next time we will be sure to make dinner there instead of planning to go out. We will rebook this place at least 2x per year when we visit our daughter. No point looking elsewhere. Also, the communication with the owner was great. She was super accommodating. Altogether an awesome experience! (Oh, and the shower pressure was epic!)

Perfect Location/ Wonderful House

I’m originally from the DC area. My husband and I stayed to visit friends, catch a performance at the Kennedy Center, hike and bike. The house is conveniently located near the Metro, and within walking distance of Trader Joes and several fantastic shops. (We strolled to Wine & Butter twice.) The kitchen was well stocked with spices and cookware (including a French press for coffee). For cyclists- the house is only a short drive to the entrance and parking area for the C&O canal path. We did a fun 50 mile ride (we have gravel bikes, but there’s a paved trail too). Great place for long runs, too. Moderate drive up to Harpers Ferry for several hiking options. We did the Stone Fort hike, and the views were amazing. On our theater night, we walked to the Metro and took the free Kennedy Center shuttle from the GWU Metro station. Easy and extremely convenient. We walked from the house to visit the mall and museums. Might be a bit long for kids, but there are several convenient Metro stops. We had no issues with parking, and the neighborhood is quiet with a nearby park. Communication with the host was really easy. No problem accessing the rental. The house was very clean, and the kitchen was perfect for meals. Really enjoyed our stay.

Best VRBO ever!

family and I stayed at Grace’s property for a week and were so very impressed. I book VRBO properties all the time, and I have never, ever, stayed in a more well-appointed home than this one. Every single thing you could want in a home away from home, was present: from hand soap to dish washing detergent, toilet paper to q-tips, spices to Tupperware and foil, etc. It was so nice to want for NOTHING. Which was wonderful, since we didn’t have a rental car to go and get what we may have missed. Also, Grace was more than helpful with directions, accommodations, and recommendations. Overall, this place was historic, updated, well-appointed, and very well-loved. Would highly recommend!

Incredibly Comfortable

To chorus other reviews, this is the best stocked vrbo we have ever stayed in. It really felt like we were staying in someone else’s home. Very clean. Incredibly spacious. Communication was excellent and when we did have a maintenance issue pop up it was handled quickly. Parking was easy and convenient. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. We would easily recommend this home to anyone and would happily stay again!

Cute, clean property and amazing host!

My husband and I traveled with our twin teenage daughters and my in-laws. This property was absolutely perfect for our family and we had a wonderful visit to the DC area! This property is in a quiet neighborhood and is very spacious. Host has added many small touches to this place to make you feel like you are at home. The coffee pods were certainly appreciated. :) Rooms are a great size. My daughters slept on provided air mattress and it was comfy. Upstairs rooms are designed for privacy from each other as well. We had originally thought we would use the charcoal grill several nights, but instead opted for indoor cooking. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed for cooking meals throughout the week. We even used the instant pot and air fryer one night. We loved the large dining room table for meals and for playing card games in the evening after a long day. Grace, the host was really awesome to work with. She even accommodated our request to drop our luggage early the day of check-in, which was super helpful. We were able to have the entire afternoon of our first day for a museum visit and exploring of some National Mall monuments. We had a busy schedule planned for the week, and we were thankful we were able to visit so many places. We used the metro for transportation all week and the short 3 block walk to the Stadium metro station was great. All in all, fabulous trip and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I would highly recommend!

Perfect D.C. Experience

This home is delightfully charming, very comfortable, and in a peaceful neighborhood. The Stadium Armory Metro station is just a short walk away, which made it easy to get to and from all of our desired locations. The beautiful kitchen is very well appointed and we enjoyed cooking during our stay. We loved bringing our dogs, and were impressed by all of the thoughtful touches and superb communication with our host.

Fantastic Stay in DC

Grace's place is beautiful, in a quiet neighborhood, and is wonderfully appointed for any length of stay. There was plenty of space for my wife and I, my two young children, and my in-laws. Not only was the row house capacious within, it was impeccably clean and updated. The nearest metro station is Stadium Armory (short walk) and that will get you to all the major touristy sites in 15-20 minutes. Parking on the street near the house was a breeze. I would definitely rent this place again!

Great spot for DC visit

I stayed here with my sister and my Dad. We visited the Smithsonian museums which were only a short Uber ride away. We did so much walking and this house was a perfect place to rest. We enjoyed sitting on the deck to eat and watching a movie in the comfortable living room. The house has everything you need and is very cozy and clean. All the furniture is comfortable and the art work is beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

Perfect for our family of four

We're so happy we chose this house for our DC vacation. It was absolutely perfect. Beautiful house, spacious, lots of thoughtful touches by the owners, lots of conveniences included. The beds were super comfortable. The neighborhood was gorgeous, and felt safe. It was a quick walk to a train stop, and a quick train ride to the monuments and museums. And clearly a dog-friendly house! I wish we would have been able to bring our dog, she would've been so happy there! We've stayed in places that claimed to be dog-friendly, but had so many restrictions, we couldn't really relax. But these homeowners clearly love dogs, and it would have been so easy to have our dog with us. We would absolutely stay at this house again.

DC President's Day Trip

This was the first time we took our 9 & 13 year old boys to DC and wanted to stay in an area that was well situated. This location was absolutely perfect! In lovely and quiet Capitol Hill, it was only 4 blocks from the nearest Metro Stop (Stadium Armory) and a 30 minute, practically direct walk down E Capitol St (an absolutely gorgeous street) The Capitol, Supreme Court to East End of The National Mall. There was a very cute cafe, The Hill Cafe two short blocks from the house that we got a delicious breakfast from every morning. They had great bagel sandwiches and according to my 9 year old the "best ever pancakes"! I can't say enough about the house!! Grace was very responsive to any questions we had. I love old homes and this one was built in 1915 but has been beautifully renovated. It was so well stocked with lovely touches, there were small dog bowls, treats and a basket of toys that our sheepadoodle enjoyed very much. The kitchen was so well stocked with spices, baking needs, all the cookware and bakeware you could need as well as coffee and tea. Two small notes: the thermostats are downstairs. Heating wise if you visit in the winter, to keep it comfortable downstairs, it gets toasty upstairs. easily solved by cracking the upstairs windows a bit and it was quite comfortable. The only other thing would be not to shower two people at the same time. The hot water replenished quickly but two at the same time drains it fast. We would absolutely stay here again!!

Host profile image
I am an assistant and designer by trade and a graduate of The University of Kentucky and The University of Nebraska. Some of my loves are F1 racing, cooking, charcuterie, craft beer, spending time with my golden retriever Bleu, and cycling. I also enjoy discovering new places and experiencing different cultures. While traveling, I enjoy practicing new languages, eating and drinking local fare, and making friends along the way. I work as a virtual assistant and theatrical scenic designer. I have enjoyed staying in VRBO rentals all over the world, and am excited to host too! I work from home and live in the attached basement unit apartment below with my partner, Casey, and our puppy, Bleu. I am generally always accessible to guests for any needs within a few minutes.
