A residential street parking pass is available and must be requested and printed in advance of your stay; once set up, you can park like a local on nearby streets. Many guests also arrive by train at Union Station and walk or take a short ride share to the apartment.
The Neighborhood:
You’ll be in a classic Capitol Hill neighborhood with tree‑lined streets, brick rowhouses, and a mix of families, professionals, and visitors. Guests often describe the area as peaceful and residential while still being incredibly convenient to major DC sights, restaurants, and public transportation.
From the apartment, you can walk to the U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and Union Station, as well as nearby parks and playgrounds, coffee shops, and a grocery store. It’s a great balance of “real neighborhood” and “in the middle of everything,” especially if you want to explore on foot
Getting Around:
Capitol Hill is one of the easiest neighborhoods in DC for getting around without a car. You’re within walking distance of Union Station (Red Line Metro, Amtrak, MARC, VRE, and intercity buses) and a short walk or ride to Capitol South and Eastern Market Metro stations on the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines.
Several Metrobus and DC Circulator routes run right through the neighborhood along key corridors like Pennsylvania Avenue and East Capitol Street, with frequent service toward the National Mall, downtown, and Nationals Park. From Union Station you can also hop on the DC Circulator to reach Georgetown or other popular areas for just a low flat fare.
If you prefer to explore by bike, there are Capital Bikeshare stations within a short walk, including one by Union Station, giving you easy access to bikes for quick trips around the Hill and the Mall. Many guests choose to park once using the residential parking pass and then walk, Metro, bike, or ride share everywhere from this central spot.
Other Things to Note:
There is a family living upstairs, and you may hear normal family sounds (footsteps, kids playing, stairs), just as they may hear you—this is a real DC rowhouse, not a sound‑proofed hotel. If you value an authentic neighborhood experience and understand typical city noise, this home is a great fit.
We provide starter supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, and basic toiletries); for longer stays, you may need to top up at a nearby grocery store. The building and block are primarily residential and feel calm at night, but as with any city, we recommend standard big‑city awareness when you’re out and about.
