A little history about our fair neighborhood.....! After Georgetown to the west, Capitol Hill is Washington's oldest neighborhood. In its earliest days, most of the residents were members of Congress who lived in boarding houses and dormitories surrounding the Capitol. As the neighborhood evolved, row houses replaced boarding houses and the Hill began to grow as a neighborhood filled with families, as well as Washington's who's who. As you walk around this stately neighborhood, don't be surprised if you see faces you've seen in the news. A number of senators and representatives make their home on the Hill. In addition to the U.S. Capitol, the Hill includes other significant American landmarks such as the U.S. Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, Union Station, the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks, the Washington Naval Yard, Congressional Cemetery, Lincoln Park, and the Eastern Market. All of these sights are within easy walking distance and most are Metro-accessible. Just down the hill from the Capitol is the National Mall with all of the monuments and memorials iconic to Washington, as well as more than 10 museums and galleries of art and artifacts. To the east of the Capitol is the ***Eastern Market***-one of the only remaining merchant markets left in Washington. While the market bustles during the week, it is on the weekends that it acquires its character and charm as residents from all over the city and visitors from all over the world come to the market to enjoy breakfast; purchase fresh meats, produce, and breads; stroll through the adjacent flea market; and browse the latest art and jewelry crafted by local artists and artisans. During the spring and summer months, a visit to the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks at 8th and I Streets SE will allow you to see the Marine Corps Silent Drill Team in action. This 24-man rifle platoon performs precision maneuvers with their 10.5 lb M-1 Garand rifles with fixed bayonets. ***Over at the U.S. Capitol, the newly opened visitor's center allows visitors to experience the Capitol from the ground up. The center features several state statues in Emancipation Hall and a museum that chronicles the history of the U.S. Capitol from its cornerstone laying in 1789 by George Washington to the present day. You can buy your tickets for the Senate and House galleries are available here! The Library of Congress' Jefferson Building, just across the street from the Capitol, is the world's largest repository of books and media in the world. ***The building is open to the public and the Renaissance and Classical art are breathtaking.*** These and other sites make staying on Capitol Hill a must if you're visiting Washington on business or for pleasure!!!!

This unit was not as advertised. The actual address was not given to us until after receipt of payment. It is located across the street from the Projects with all the accompanying activity you might expect. The used condom in the street where you'd park your car precipitated a discussion I'd rather not have had with our 7 yr old grand daughter. We knew it was a basement unit, but didn't anticipate the moldy wet steps terminating in a shallow well with an open drain breeding a multitude of hungry mosquitoes as you unlock the 3 locks to get in. The stairs were constantly wet and it was like walking on a sheet of glass with no handrails to help. Upon arrival, the bathroom looked like it belonged in an old gas station. The toilet was quite moldy, the owner came to show us where the toilet brush was, whisked it twice around the black bowl with no cleaner, then removed it dripping all over the toilet seat and considered it done. No supplies to clean with, we obtained some and spent an hour cleaning someones else's excrement. Upon taking a shower, the nozzle was heavy with mold, and the drain backed up. Owner wondered why that was a problem since it would eventually drain out. We had to explain we didn't want to stand in someone else's soap scum and hair. The shower tiles are not entirely grouted either so more mold. An open 5 X 7 inch hole, cut out from the drywall opened the unit to anything crawling in the walls, and the vacumn was so gross we wouldn't touch it. The electrical was overloaded with cords everywhere and quite creative. Any attempts at repair or caulking were awful. The only bedroom had one window with bars on it that I was unable to open. Didn't sleep too well worrying about a fire. We would have relocated but had taken our grand daughter for a set number of days out of school. Having scheduled a White House Tour and a Capital tour as well as monuments and museums we didn't have time to relocate. We checked for other vacancies but didn't have the time or money to solve this problem and still complete the vacation our grand daughter would have to complete to have her days excused. .This unit was deep down grungy, just sorry there's no room for a 0 star review. We will never pay for something again that we haven't seen, so I guess no more VRBO. Totally not as advertised. Multiple pictures upon request

I was nice to see how the area had changed and improved over the years.
This little basement apt. was adequate for my needs.
Allen was very responsive and his daughter checked in as well.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone though I don’t think it’s quite roomy enough for two adult couples.
There was no TV in the bedroom so if there was or kids they would all have to share watching tv together in the living room..
Fortunately that wasn’t an issue for me and my uncle.
Would absolutely stay here again.

This place is NOT as advertised. The pictures and the listing show 2 bedrooms, but there is only one bedroom. The “second” is a pull out couch in the living room that does not even pull out to a full bed! It was really disappointing. The apartment itself is old and dirty as well. As two young women staying there, we also felt unsafe with how long it takes to unlock all the doors to get into the apartment. Would not recommend this place at all.
Good

The property was well appointed for all of my needs as a single adult staying long-term. All of the appliances, AC, internet functioned properly - though on occasion the internet would "drop". At those times, and for a few other small issues, I would message the owners and they were always very quick to respond and remedy the issues.

The location was acceptable for walking to/from the Capitol area each workday - about 25 minutes (5-7 minutes by Uber) - with restaurants, shops, a Metro station along the way.

I felt generally safe around the area. It was reassuring that the DC Police kept a high-profile presence within the neighborhoods in the area.

This property and the owners met my expectations for a 12 week "work stay" and will remain in consideration for future stays.
