Less than one block to great coffee shops and boutique markets for essentials. 2 blocks to a major grocery store, restaurants and other amenities. Secure private parking spot included. The space The house is very clean and well-designed with an open floor plan and half bath on the first floor, 3 bedrooms, full bath, and washer/dryer upstairs. The house is decorated to provide a comfortable oasis from the city where you can kick back and relax on the large sectional sofa, in the sunny bay window reading nook, or on the back patio when the weather is nice. The location of the house is convenient to business and tourist travels alike: it's less than 2 blocks from the metro and buses, commuter trains (VRE and MARC), Amtrak, and the free H Street Trolley. And you can easily walk to the Capitol, Eastern Market, the H Street corridor, the museums on the Mall, and more. Rent a Capital BikeShare bike using the station around the corner or take a great run or walk through historic Capitol Hill. You don't need a car to stay here, but if you do bring your car, you can have access to the private parking spot in the rear of the house. The 3 bedrooms have a king, queen, and twin bed with a trundle,and a pack and play for an infant, and all rooms have blackout curtains so that you can sleep in if you choose. The bath has a full size tub. The kitchen has all the utensils and dishes you will need and the dining room table seats six very comfortably. Guests will also enjoy the 55-inch flat screen smart TV in the living room, along with the associated Sling TV account and DVD player. There's Verizon Fios WiFi for you to use in my house and a full stereo. The backyard has a small bistro table and chairs for when the weather is nice. Other things to note The house has stairs to get to the entryway and to the 2nd floor, where all the bedrooms are located. I can't accommodate pets or accept packages for you. The apartment below the main house is where I (and my dogs) may stay during your visit. In addition, we are connected to neighbors on both sides. Given the proximity of city living, we ask that you are mindful of the neighbors and keep noise including the volume on the TV and music at a reasonable level and remove your shoes in the house. Also please no jumping on (or off) any of the furniture including beds and sofa. Quiet hours are 10pm-7am. Inform the host of any items that are not working, any items that may have broken during your stay, or if there are any spills or issues that may require extra cleaning or repair - don’t wait for me to “discover” it after you check out. Accidents happen and are usually easily resolved. Thank you for understanding.
There is a motion detector light and security camera outside the back entrance to the house facing the garage and another facing the outside front entrance.
