One Block to Library of Congress- Capitol Hill-English Basement

Location and accommodations were top level! Family of 4 loved this place this weekend. We had walked everywhere we needed to go from this fabulous English basement and wonderful DC neighborhood!

The location is a major plus! It's incredibly walkable to many attractions, shops, and restaurants in Capitol Hill. The proximity to the Metro and DC major monuments are also a huge convenience. The condo is well-maintained and well stocked refrigerator with eggs, milk, breakfast cereals among other staple items. I appreciated Peter communication about DC metro area, driving laws, parking, and overall communication was outstanding. We plan to stay in unit on our next stay. Definitely a hidden gem. 




The property manager was so responsive and was nice enough to accommodate an early check in for us. We really loved the location of this place. We had events at the capital building and it was about a 10 minute walk.

Wow, this place is a hidden gem, and property manager Peter is a hospitality genius. The property is about 4 blocks from the Library of Congress and a walkable distance from a lot of wonderful D.C. sites. Peter has thought of everything regarding the comfort of guests. There was milk, OJ, eggs and great coffee available when I got there. I'd mentioned to him via email that I follow a gluten-free diet, and he even had stocked the place with GF Cheerios and protein bars. He was very responsive when I had questions and there were no negative surprises -- only delight to find that this was a great place in a beautiful, safe neighborhood, with a great property manager. I'm an older woman who was traveling alone and I would like o stay at this place anytime I'm in D.C.

Great location and absolutely wonderful host. Futon converts into comfortable second bed.

Great location and property owner goes out of their way to accommodate

Well stocked.

The lot is definitely cozy, but that’s to be expected in D.C. Peter was very communicative with us. We had a great stay!

Small studio walking distance to all sites. I stayed with my daughter to tour DC. The host had great communication and provided milk and eggs. I would come back here with a party of two or maybe three

I stayed here with my son for 2 days and had a wonderful experience. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The basement apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location is great, close to landmarks in Washington DC. Highly recommended for short stays!

We enjoyed our weekend in this clean, cozy, comfortable apartment. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, close to restaurants and other attractions. We easily walked to it from Union train station upon our arrival. It is also close to the Metro station at Eastern Market. The host is very easy to communicate with and graciously allowed us early check-in. Our family lives in the neighborhood so we hope to stay here again the next time we visit!

We loved this place! Stayed with our adult daughters for several days. Owner communication was helpful & informative. 5 minute walk to Library of Congress. Very close to a variety restaurants & shops. Very safe, beautiful neighborhood with ample street parking. Stocked with coffee, snacks, cereal, milk & eggs! Hotel room size but all the appliances of a studio apartment. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back!

The location of this Vrbo is great for anything within walking distance of Capitol Hill. I rented this basement apartment for a short notice trip to DC, primarily for the price and location.The steps down to the only entrance were awkward and may be difficult if one is challenged by stairs. This place was SMALL but adequate for a single person on a short trip. The bed, kitchen, dining table were all located in the 300ish sq. ft. room with a tiny bathroom attached. The shower was as big as the other part of the bathroom. The bed was located at the foot of the basement stairs, which were closed by something that looked like cardboard. The ceiling was covered by foam squares that appeared to be for sound deadening. They may have helped with voices or television sounds, but I heard every step of the two in the room above. Thankfully they stopped walking at a reasonable hour.The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked. A few dozen eggs, coffee, snacks, etc. was a pleasant surprise even though I had purchased some groceries.Communication with the owner was very good. No complaints there. Location was perfect for what I needed. Neighborhood seemed relatively safe. I was very luck being able to park just a few doors down, but I don't think you could expect that. In the end, it served its purpose. I won't rent this place if travelling to DC again. A hotel would be better but were near triple regular price due to a historic event in that time period.

Nice capital hill location. Just a short walk to Capital, Supreme Court and library of congress. The neighborhood was very nice and has lots of options for food as well. Great host too!

This property was close to where we wanted to be. It had most of what we needed and the check in/communication was phenomenal. The washer/dryer does not dry your clothes just so people can be aware. But it was a comfortable place for a couple.

We had an amazing stay at Peter's English basement! His communication was excellent from start to finish, making the entire process seamless. The space was extremely comfortable and impeccably clean—just what we needed for our trip. The location is unbeatable! My wife and I visited for the Bruce Springsteen concert and had a blast exploring local restaurants and bars beforehand. We even enjoyed the Eagles game at Tom’s Watch Bar, which was so much fun! On concert day, we spent hours at the Wharf soaking in the atmosphere. We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend this gem!

This VRBO was exactly what we needed. The Library of Congress was a quick walk away so getting to my training class was easy. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed taking walks in the afternoons to look at the historic homes. We went to many of the wonderful resturants close by. We spent two days walking to the Capital, the Smithsonians, etc... Everything was clean and cozy with plenty of coffee and snacks. Peter was clear in all of his communications and it was nice knowing we could reach out if we had any questions. This will definately be where we stay when we come back again. Thanks so much for a great experience.

Located in a quiet and safe neighborhood but within easy walking distance to some great restaurants and lots of DC sites (Capitol, Supreme Court, and LOC).

Very clean property. Easy walking distance to the Metro, restaurants and Capital sights.
