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!!!!

Landlords went above and beyond to make our stay seamless.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2024
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.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2022
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. Adrienne
6 / 10Average·Apr 2018
Pluses: Close to Capitol Hill attractions, seemingly safe neighborhood, quiet, nice bed Minuses: Bedroom is TINY, stubbed my toe every night I tried to get around the bed to bathroom-about 9 inches between bed and wall. Stingy on towels and towels provided are worn. Not sure why the there is such a harsh penalty to change the sheets? Costly to park and use BBQ. Not particularly comfy couch.
