This charming 1BR garden unit in Capitol Hill is ideally situated for any type of traveler! There are plenty of parks, dining, nightlife, and shops nearby. Close to Orange/Blue/Silver Line for easy access to the major sights, located in the iconic Capitol Hill neighborhood. After a long day out and about in the city, come back to this cozy gem on a quiet, tree-lined street and unwind.

Our spacious 1 bedroom apartment is the perfect home base for your trip to the District! We can comfortably sleep 4 guests in a queen size bed in the private bedroom, and a queen sized sofa bed in the living room.

Guests will have your own private and separate entrance, a dedicated laptop work station as well as a dining area with comfortable chairs and free fast 115/mbps wifi (Smart TV is also included, so guests can stream from their personal accounts to their hearts content).

Bijou style kitchen with coffee maker, microwave, stove/oven, washer/dryer included.

Enjoy our one of a kind apartment, located in a very safe residential neighborhood a stones throw from the major sights!

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire lower level unit. It is not shared.

There is a family living upstairs. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life.

The Neighborhood:
Location, location, location! Stay here and be nestled in the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood, on a lovely tree lined street close to everything! In just a few minutes you're at the doors of the Supreme Court of the United States (12 min), the Library of Congress (8 min walk), the Capitol building (20 min walk), the US House of Representatives (10 min walk) and so much more! A short minute stroll to 3 metro stations; Eastern Market (4 minute walk), Capitol South (8 minute walk), and Union Station (23 minute walk). Buses and trolleys teem the area for those needing a break from exploring on foot. Lyft and Uber rides are plentiful and bike shares too. National's Park is also within walking distance (24 minutes on foot), so guests can easily take in a game and enjoy a slice of Americana with some peanuts and crackerjacks!

Pennsylvania Avenue is surrounded by some of the most iconic restaurants in DC. A short walk from the home is the Eastern Market;  DC's original and premier food & arts market, the market is DC's destination for fresh food, community events, and on weekends it comes alive with local farm-fresh produce and handmade art and craft stalls and a flea market.

Getting Around:
You can walk to everything but there are lots of nearby buses, (DC Trolley, DC Streetcar and Metro buses)  and more options for direct metro access from the 3 nearby metro stations. We provide coupon codes for Uber which along with Lyft are plentiful! Capital Bikeshare also has bikes to rent by the hour.

Other Things to Note:
We want you to make the most of your stay, so we've partnered with DC’s city tour company See DC Today to help ensure an amazing visit, at the best rate possible! Sit back and relax as the finest, most highly-trained and knowledgeable guides take you through the city, to soak up the surrounding history.
Feel free to give us a call to find out about the discounted rates we have secured for Home Sweet City's guests.

Interaction with Guests:
We are always available for any questions or issues that may arise during your stay. We provide a property guide full of our neighborhood recommendations, "must sees," and information about the house.

First Time Washington DC Visit

The property was a perfect spot to explore Washington. Just two blocks from groceries, a variety of restaurants, the Eastern Market Metro station. The visitor parking was a plus.Two hot pad would be added plus.

GREAT Location & Cozy Studio!

Fantastic location - 3 minute walk to Eastern Market & Eastern Market Metro Station - great shops/restaurants close - quiet (as quiet as Cap Hill gets) - clean & comfy. Not fancy - but, great place to cook/sleep while enjoying DC. Would stay again!

Jean and I found the accommodations excellent in most every respect. The only exception was that the apartment was cold when we came in but it warmed up quickly. What I especially liked was the communication. Prompt response to Emails and help during business hours was a phone call away.

Great location

The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Nice neighborhood, walking distance to restaurants and groceries. We got the parking pass and parked right in front of the apartment, never had to drive anywhere for the whole week. Scooters and bikes made it a breeze.

Capitol Hill one bedroom apt

It was a great location! It worked out well for our family. Even though we wanted a 2 bedroom, it was a snug fit, but it really worked out well. It was a super hot time in DC so could have used a fan to move the cool air out from the back bedroom where the AC was, but all in all a great stay. Clean property and very responsive mgmt company.

The location of this place was awesome. We were literally 10 minutes from the airport. There were eating places all up and down the street a CVS a 7-Eleven and a subway station nearby. Plus a grocery store also! This was a perfect set up for two people. It worked out wonderfully for us.

Very nice

Overall good. The woman we communicated with was very prompt in her reply’s and was helpful. I was surprised to learn we were responsible for taking out the trash (around the corner behind the home). I didn’t care for that. The hot water ran out quickly. There were only 2 of us, so we made it work, but it would have been a real inconvenience if we had more guests. Location was really nice and convenient! The neighbors we encountered were very friendly.

Great location!

This property was the perfect location for me, my husband, and toddler to explore D.C. while also having a place to come back to that was in a quiet neighborhood. The property was clean and we had no issues with the check-in process. The only complaint we had was that the AC unit was located in the bedroom in the back and didn't seem to pull moisture out of the air very well. It got very humid in there, especially at night when we were trying to sleep.
