Situated in Washington, 1.7 km from Washington Union Station and 2.3 km from Supreme Court, Charming 4 Bedroom House!1 Mile from Capitol Hill! features air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. The property is set 3.2 km from Walter E Washington Convention Center, 3.5 km from National Gallery of Art and 3.6 km from National Museum of the American Indian. The property is non-smoking and is located 2.3 km from The Capitol.

We liked the location's proximity to the National Mall/museums/monuments. We felt safe in the neighborhood. The home was well maintained and clean as advertised. The beds were comfortable. Having access to laundry facilities was a major perk! Although free street parking was not 100% guaranteed, we were able to park every evening in front of the home! The VRBO owner made himself very accessible, but we didn't have any needs.

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Capitol Hill Carriage House is situated in Washington. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the holiday home free of charge. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.8 km from Supreme Court.

Fabulous location close to some of WA DC's most iconic restaurants (eg. MARKET LUNCH! ROSES LUXURY); close to a Metro station, lovely, safe, friendly neighborhood; devilishly clever interior design but functional; one of the delightful features is the kitchen is fully equipped so you can go to the nearby Eastern Market and buy fab homemade pasta and sauce and have a nice chill evening; includes parking, a precious commodity in WA DC (but we didn't use it); diverse coffee choices in the kitchen (Nespresso!); -- oh and fun area for a jog -- safely! - the Marines are nearby practicing from the oldest post circa 1801.

Boasting garden views, TheWrightStays Art Haven at Fairlawn Gardens offers accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 3.6 km from Nationals Park. With city views, this accommodation provides a patio. Offering free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking holiday home features wellness packages.

The location is very convenient for catching Ubers into central DC and all of the main sights. Price varies depending on the time of day and demand. We mostly paid around $25 one-way for X-LARGE vehicles. The highest was $45 returning one evening as there was high demand at that time. The facilities at the property are as good as you’ll find anywhere. We really enjoyed our stay.

It is located 5.9 km from Walter E Washington Convention Center and offers private check-in and check-out. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

I loved that we fit two families, my brother’s family and mine, in one house comfortably. We all had beds to sleep in and none of us had to sleep on the couch or the floor! It was a very comfortable vacation. The house was tastefully decorated and the owner was responsive and great with messaging us back with clear instructions on how to enter the house and what the house rules were. The beds were all comfortable and it was a short drive to our destination.

    The location was absolutely perfect for my trip, close to everything I needed to access and just a great central location in DC. I loved being able to walk to many things of interest, including some great nearby restaurants. The room felt like being transported in history, and I loved the book that included the heritage preservation and historical context of the building. It was quiet and comfortable, beautifully decorated, and kept very clean and pleasant throughout the building.

    Cozy rooms, even though a bit small. Just enough space for one, max a couple. If you're planning to just come back to the hotel to sleep, then its great! Beds are very comfy and spacious. the lightshow in the bathroom is fun. In walking distance to Independence Avenue, Smithsonian and Capitol Hill.

    The hotel is a charming building with hip, young vibe in excellent location - Lincoln Memorial and White House within walking distance (but do consider DC is spread out wide, so walking distance means 20-30 minutes). Rooms, beds and bathrooms are small - but they are advertised as being so, so it is no reason for complaint - and spotlessly clean. Service is only on request - which is also known beforehand. Fantastic bar / lounge on the rooftop, good pizza on the ground floor.

    Sweet, charming and very personal guesthouse - like a home away from home - in the cozy Georgetown area. The staff walked an extra mile so I could check in very early. I highly recommend it, and will definitely stay here next time I come to DC!

    The place is charming - very calm & cosy- the house was refurnished - it was very clean and equipped but it’s not recommended for more then 4 people ( we arrived 6 p. 2 kids were sleeping on air mattress in the leaving room and it was to crowded). location was good for us because we traveled with car and there’s parking outside (don’t know about public transportation but it’s not near the Center of the city).
