About this house rental
From monuments and museums to modern art and dining, Washington, D.C. is where past and present (and politics) meet. And while the nation’s capital is a popular destination for its historical significance and political landmarks, you don’t have to be a political junkie to enjoy the District. There is plenty of contemporary culture, shopping, and sightseeing to be found tucked between all that neoclassical architecture. This 2022 remodeled, one-bedroom lower unit of our rowhouse is the perfect while basking in the glory of all the places the District has to offer. This historic rowhouse is the perfect place to stay to get the real feel for being 5 minutes away from the Capitol while paying a fraction of the price you’d pay at a hotel in this area.
NOTE: this unit can be sub-rented with our upper unit.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2024
We had no trouble finding the place and it had everything we needed. It's conveniently located between a fabulous small local market and a wonderful coffee shop. Union Station is about 2 blocks away and there are plenty of things to do. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet and felt safe.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2024
Neighborhood was terrific with a coffee shop and market on the block. Entry and checkout was a breeze at 11pm and the apt was spotless. It was the best bang for the buck and the location was so close to the capitol I walked every day.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2016
Stayed here 4/5-4/10/2016 for vacation. There were two of us and the place was just what we expected. Two blocks from Union Station where you can get any ground transportation you need, steps away from a great coffee shop that has great morning pastries, 5-10 minute walk to many wonderful restaurants, and easy walk to the capitol. The place was clean and comfortable. The upstairs neighbors were a bit noisy but they wake late and quiet down early evening. Some of the best sleep we've both had was on our vacation here. Not flushing toilet paper, as someone mentioned in another review, is common in many older cities with older pipes so not a big deal. The owner was very responsive to messages through the home away app and provided other means to reach them as well. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this rental.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2022
PROS: The location of this place was very nice. The owner does respond in a timely manner. A lot of places within walking distance, such as, a coffee shop, an Indian restaurant (really delicious), a gentrified bodega on the corner and a Whole Foods 10 minutes away (walking distance) from the location. You also have the union station near you and the park in front of it. CONS: There was that there was a LOT of mosquitoes/flies to the entrance of the basement. We had to constantly kill them when they got inside. We notified the owner and asked if they’re was anything they can do about it, they replied saying to put bleach but we instead went to buy raid to be safe. There was also small worms entering the location. We didn’t know where they were coming from but it became a hassle to deal with those bugs. I do hope the owner contacts a fumigator to get those issues under control. The furniture also seemed fragile, we had laid on the bed and it immediately had one of the legs snap. We notified the owner right away. While waiting for the owner’s response, we checked under the bed and the legs of the bed were slanted. It was barely holding the bed. We asked the owner if we had they’re permission to fix it and they said yes. Thankfully, it wasn’t hard to fix. I do recommend that they check the legs of the bed frame because it seemed to be easily moved if you got on it. Another issue we had, was having people upstairs walk like as if they’re giants. Constant loud thumps and moving furniture. We ignored it but it did get annoying at a certain point, so beware of that. Toilet paper is provided but paper towel isn’t, which I found weird (we had to buy one). Overall, the place was okay. I would rate it a 6.5/10
