About this house rental

Located in District of Columbia, this lovely house for $406 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. 3 blocks to H St. or Union Market and 5 blocks to Red Line Metro. We are close to all that Capitol Hill and the H Street Corridor have to offer. Our home is nearly 120 years old, but we have lovingly restored it without gutting the charm out of it. You'll find all the modern amenities in a classic wrapper. Combining marble, glass, granite, stainless, original hearts of pine wood flooring to create warm and beautiful spaces. Stay in a piece of history in a city steeped in history. Guests will have the run of the main home on floors 1 and 2 (there is a separate apartment on the garden level that is used by me and my family on occasion). The home has 3 bedrooms upstairs (All 3 with Queen Beds) and one queen sofa Sleeper on the first floor. It also has two full baths. Finally, it has 3 Flat Screen TVs. One 46" big screen TV in the 1st floor living room and a 2nd 46" in the Master Bedroom. Both also have Blue Ray/DVD players. And then we also have a 32" flat screen in the 2nd biggest Bedroom. All 3 of those TVs feature Verizon FIOS Cable TV. We also have FIOS high speed broadband wireless internet, a fully equipped kitchen, and outdoor deck and patio with a propane gas grill. We are close to everything in Capitol Hill monument and museum-wise ...either by the Red Line Metro (subway), by bus, or by car. (You don't really need a car, thanks to the various public transportation options, including the Capitol Bike Share system). There is a bus line on Florida Ave. 1/2 block away and on K St. two blocks south. H St. is full of cool bars and restaurants and is only 4 blocks away but far enough to avoid the noise and the crowds (it happens to have a free trolley car running east and west on H St. too). Also, Union Market (2 blocks away) is a great place to hang out, get coffee, fantastic Gelato, fresh bread, fish, meat, vegetables, and fabulous gourmet cheese. The wine selection and prices at the Italian specialty store Litteri 1 1/2 blocks away is fantastic! I will also provide a more comprehensive set of restaurant recommendations upon booking. The Red Line Metro (DC's subway) is only 5 blocks west, Bus lines at Florida Ave. (1/2 block away), K St. 2 blocks south, or H St. 4 blocks south. Convenient to Balt/Wash Parkway, Rt. 295, and Rt. 395. We can interact as much as our guests would like to interact with us. We have a second home about an hour away and a guest apartment below the home that we sometimes stay in. If we are there we can interact personally if the guests would like to. Otherwise we are quite responsive to text/email/phone for questions and/or advice. English is our native tongue, but between us we speak French, German and a bit of Spanish. We love showing off our city and the many sights, sounds, and aromas you can find in it. Let us help you plan a day according to your likes, interests, and the amount of time you have available. We'd like people to treat our home as if it were their own...be comfortable, but respectful. Absolutely NO Smoking is allowed in on our home please and NO pets of any kind. You may smoke on the back patio if you need to. Our severely autistic child is deathly allergic to cigarette smoke and dog dander/hair. Please, Please, Please, DO NOT SMOKE ANYTHING in Our Home. Security deposit funds will be used to professionally clean our home if you smoke in it. Thank you in advance for respecting this rule :) Check-in is at 4pm and Check-out is at 11am.

We had a great time staying at this old house. Our host, Greg, could not have been more accommodating and made sure we could contact him for anything. The kitchen was more than adequately stocked and Greg provided high quality coffee, spices and condiments. We had a 4 yr old who loved the kid’s easy chair and all of the games provided. The beds were comfortable. Everything was very clean. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to DC.

Really nice and convinient place to visit Washington. We were able to do everything with public transportation from the house. Confortable house for our 3 days stay, with clear and detailled explanation of Greg really helpful for shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.

This house was a perfect fit for our group of pssychologist students presenting research at a convention. The rooms were relaxing and the ceiling hooks were intriguing! We loved our stay and the host was wonderfully responsive and helpful.

This home is well kept and worked great for our family with teens & a tween. The location was perfect for visiting the city and we utilized the capitol bikeshare system frequently. Wonderful to have a parking space that was off street parking and the home is so close to Trader Joes and Whole Foods - walked to both! We appreciated Greg's communication when needed and all his recommendations of how to get around and where to go. The neighborhood could be noisy at night but it was also the week of July 4th. :-) The noise did not interfere with our stay, and we were looking for a property in DC and close to all the places we wanted to visit so that is what we expected. The home felt very secure and there were lots of games and things to do already there so we would not have needed to bring any board/card games along. A great find in DC!

This vrbo provided the perfect vacation spot for a grandkid trip to Washington DC. The location made it easy to connect by Metro to all the sites we wanted to see. The layout of the house, amenities and neighborhood met or exceeded our expectations. Greg was quick to answer all our questions From the 7 year old to the 70+ year old, we all gave it a big thumbs up.

You really need a new cleaning service. Floors, showers, kitchen countertops were all filthy. The BBQ was a fire Hazzard due to grease. I expected better as a preferred provider.
