Such a vibe! We came in from Miami to surprise my brother in law for his birthday (Full disclosure: very nervous traveler here given.. well 2020) and really felt like we made the right choice.
1. Location: The house is in the H Street vicinity - it reminds me of Wynwood in MIA. Artsy and up and coming but has managed to still be very authentic to the roots of the neighborhood. We were only there a few days but people in the neighborhood recognized us and gave us the best tips (like the city bikes so you don't always have to move your car). You can literally bike/run to the Washington + Lincoln monument (about 4 miles each way). Honestly if you're sticking to DC and are active, I wouldn't even bother with a car.
2. House itself: The house is gorgeous - built in 1881, the design is very minimalist but doesn't feel cold. It's very comfortable - and functional. You pretty much have all you need (obvi bring your toothbrush lol). Kaprice uses sustainable toiletry products from Bee Kind (shower gel, shampoo, lotion, etc = one less TSA liquids headache).
There was a washer and dryer at the house (great after those 8 mile runs). We dined out and also cooked at the house.
Kaprice also has a welcome packet that guides you for almost any questions you may have - that also made staying in the house super easy.
Totally unrelated - but local restaurant Nomad has awesome hummus.
Can't say enough good things about this spot.
