3 blocks to Union Market and 5 blocks to Red Line Metro. We are close to all that Union Market, Capitol Hill, and the H Street Corridor have to offer.

Our home is over 125 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, and even original hearts of pine wood flooring on the 2nd floor to create warm and beautiful spaces. Stay in a piece of history in acity 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 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 three full baths. One in the primary bedroom and 1 in the hallway upstairs and a full bath on the 1st floor too! Finally, it has 3 Flat Screen TVs. One 46 big screen TV in the 1st floor living room and a 2nd TV 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 Roku Streaming devices (user must have accounts to take advantage of some of the channels like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc). 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.
Union Market (2 blocks away) is a great place to hang out, get coffee, fantastic food at the multiple restaurants and food kiosks, and even fish, meat, vegetables, and fabulous gourmet delicacies. The wine selection and prices at the Italian specialty store Litteri 1 1/2 blocks away is also fantastic (and they do a great sub/hoagie sandwich)! I will also provide a more comprehensive set of restaurant recommendations upon booking.
Just to the 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 also happens to have a free trolley car running east and west,

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 a bit of French 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.

    Lovely location however did not start off well as we were given the wrong key code (on my knees in the dark and rain!) Finally got in after calling owner. Cockroach on floor of a very disorganized kitchen. Sofa bed was comfortable but took 2 people to pull out. Shall I go on?

    Great space for our needs. With 8 of us we loved having run of the house. Union Market was so close as was the free H Street Trolley. The owner was very responsive and helpful.

    The location worked for our visit. I appreciated the roominess of the rowhouse. Some amenities were nice to have such as ice in trays, extra paper towels, bath towels in rooms. It may be helpful to get the salt and pepper shakers filled along with other basics for guests.The unit has character with many needed upgrades due to age. Unfortunately we had an issue with bed bugs and had to wash the bedding in larger bedroom. My right foot and leg were devoured by them.

    The home is large and spacious. We had a group of 6 with plenty of room. Our host was EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE when it came to replacing the coffee pot and we had a new one within the hour.

    Great place for the family. Easy access to metro. Many extras! All were comfortable. Loved being in older historic home. Great access to stores and restaurants. Two suggestions. Wine glasses. Small table or cabinet in upstairs bathroom.

    This house had everything we needed - comfy beds, not a bad walk to the train, and the owner was super friendly and responsive when we had questions.

    Overall this is a great property. The location is ideal as you are only a few miles from the DC points of interest. Having a dedicated parking spot is a really high value perk. We drove into town a couple days (and stayed in parking garages), We walked to several places. We Uber-ed a couple days as well. Although streets are narrow and crowded, we found they could be successfully navigated with some patience. We did not use the Metro (due to one of our family having a mobility issue) but would not have hesitated to do so. As it is later in the season, we found a few of the house amenities needed some attention due to some wear & tear ... but nothing that would prompt me to discourage others from selecting this property as a great location to launch from during a visit to DC. We recommend it.

    We went on a family trip to see the sites of DC. We ended up having to drive to the metro everyday but once we got there(only a 9 min drive to Union station) it was easy. Parking at the house is definitely challenging but by day 4 I was able to get used to it.We used Spothero for parking our 2nd vehicle.The 1st location was 1544 Marion St. and was a nightmare. Terrible customer service and no open spots. Then after many unanswered phone calls, they were texting with me. Asking for pictures of the vehicles parked in the wrong spots. It took almost an extra hour to find another parking spot.We ended up at 524 Rhode Island & it was great. So definitely stay away from the Marion St. Address as its a alleyway and terrible for parking. Back to the house, it was nice. The kitchen could defintely use some updated pots, pans, skillets etc. The skillets were terrible and we definitely had to rethink our meal plans after seeing the inventory we had to work with. More bathroom towels also would be helpful.The biggest complaint we all had (there was 8 of us) was the STAIRS! The wooden stairs were so loud to walk up and down. No matter how big or small you are, there was no quiet way to go up and down without waking people up. By day 2, we were trying to limit going up and down to avoid the noise.The 8 of us fit comfortably in the house. There was plenty of sleeping space (we brought an air mattress also so all the teens could sleep in 1 room).Overall, it was a nice trip & home.
