About this property
Cap Hill: Large Urban /Luxe Studio. Sleeps 1-4, Walk to Capital, Union Station
At 816 sq ft, (76 meters), this ground level studio apt., located in the heart of Capitol Hill, is more spacious then most one bedroom apts on The Hill. The unit offers city living w/ plenty of international accents. Whether it’s the Moroccan lanterns that cast exotic shadows in the open corridor, or the French coffee and pastries that lure you to the bistro-styled dining area, the French and American owners definitely have the “French Touch.” This unit is extremely spacious w/ its dedicated bedroom, living, dining, kitchen, reading nook & bathroom. A super- comfy queen bed, twin day bed and futon couch in the living area accommodate up to 4 people comfortably.

A ten-minute walk takes you to bustling Eastern Market—-one of the only remaining merchant markets left in Washington. A trip on the weekend gives visitors a sense of the character and charm that residents and guests from all over the world have come to appreciate. Browse the craft stands of local artists and artisans or shop for antiques. Enjoy breakfast at the Market Lunch or pick up some fresh produce, fish or meat to bring back for the grill.

Awesome property. Host was very responsive and flexible. She let us check on early and keep our luggage late at check out.
Location is very convenient for visiting the museums. Also close to public transport.
Property was very clean.
It was wonderful We enjoyed meeting Carla and her husbandVery nicely furnished and felt like a home away from home. Was in a great location. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
From the get go Carla and Fred made our stay great! We were welcomed with a parking spot on a street that finds them hard to come by at times. The location, the property, and the hosts were all top notch. I can’t recommend a stay here enough.
My only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because we were surprised at the lower height of the ceilings. My son and husband are a little over 6 ft and they felt a little crammed. But accommodations are very nice, and location was great for us.
Such a quaint place in an amazing area, close to the Capital! We will definitely stay here again if/when we visit DC in the future. The home was spotless, spacious and had everything we needed. We walked most everywhere but Ubers were easy when we needed them. Parking was a big concern for us when booking and it was very easy/convenient here (and free). Thanks for a great stay!
This property is in an excellent location! Carla and Fred are excellent hosts. The property was comfortable for us as a place to rest after very busy days. While we did not use the kitchen, there was plenty if you plan to eat in during your stay. The location was an easy walking distance to many restaurants. We would love to stay here again when we visit in the future!
Carla and Fred were lovely hosts. It was a great and safe location. It’s a 30 minute walk to the nation’s capital or 15 minute walk to Metro at the lovely Eastern Market area. Everything was perfect. Only suggestion would be more water pressure in the shower, but a minor inconvenience and I would love to return!
We stayed at a bottom flat in the Capitol Hill district of DC. It is situated within about a 1/2 mile of Eastern Market. We used all forms of transportation to see the sites of DC: Metro, walking, bikes, scooters & an occasional Lyft.
The bungalow has everything you need; we were able to have breakfasts and bring in takeout for a few meals. The owner is really nice. She lives up stairs and helps out with recommendations for restaurants and attractions. We would definitely stay there again!
The Capital Hill community is a very safe, residential community where you see lots of people walking dogs and pushing baby carriages. Street parking was easier than expected. There were walkable coffee and food spots in several directions. Ubers to all our events were between $10-$20 and less than 20 minutes. Our hosts were lovely and the apartment was comfortable, well apointed and very clean.
Unit was extremely clean...everything seemed to be renovated/updated (appliances, washer/dryer, etc...). Location is in a residential neighborhood, felt very safe and quiet. Unit was very cool despite very hot temperatures outside. We didn't use the kitchen much but was fine for our needs. Beds were comfortable. Linens clean/new. This the lower floor unit of a multiple level home. Did not have any issues with noise above us and personally like having owners close by. Had a couple of quick interactions with owners, very helpful, kind and attentive. Would recommend and would rent again, if we return to the area. Thank you!

Family DC Trip
Size of the apartment was perfect. Location was excellent. Unfortunately many things listed as perks were not available- no soap, coffee, etc. There is no
Back patio as advertised. Unfortunately we got locked out (because none of the instructions say to not lock the bottom like- as we do in our house so it was habit for my husband). Oh well except we sat outside for an hour with both kids repeatedly calling and messaging the contact number. We even chatted with Vrbo. Finally my husband called Vrbo and they had another number on file (I even asked that when chatting) and Fred answered and came right out. Phone numbers where guests can reach you in an emergency are important. After that Fred checked in every day and it was great.
Our first trip to DC. My family of four (including 2 teens) fit comfortably in this space. It was clean and quiet. Having laundry machines on site was a plus. The kitchen could use a few more basic utensils (if you plan on cooking, check with owner on what you need). Small markets are within walking distance, albeit a ten minute walk. But you can Uber if you have a large haul. We did not have a vehicle; were able to walk to Metro station to get most places and Uber if needed. Owners were attentive when we checked in. A/C was much appreciated because of extreme heat. But there isn’t a way to control temp in the unit-you have to work with the owners (just an FYI). Bed was super comfy and sofa beds were too. WiFi and Netflix are available. Definitely a neighborhood feel, plan to walk a bit to find a restaurant. Felt safe, even walking in the late evening. I would stay there again.
