Barry's place is in one of our new favorite neighborhoods in DC! This is the first time we've stayed in the Capitol Hill area and we were thrilled with everything that was in such close proximity. He obtained a street parking pass for us for the duration of our stay and we parked the car when we arrived and walked the entire weekend.
We found Washington Nationals Ballpark, The Yard, and the Eastern Market to be an easy walk from his place. There are also tons of restaurants, shops, a park, library, Trader Joes, etc. very close by. Barry left a stack of menus as his own recommendations for dining that was very helpful. He also left several books about Washington DC for anyone new to the city.
The unit is very comfortable and has everything you need, including a desk, sofa, kitchen, dining area and of course, bed and bathroom, just as described. Plenty of closet space and a coffeemaker are great bonuses. Since the building is older, we could sometimes hear people walking on the floor above, but everything was quiet throughout the night and early morning, so it wasn't an issue at all. Barry also left 2 metro pass cards that guests can add funds to for using public transit, which was a nice touch.
The unit is in a quiet and beautiful part of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, filled with historic row houses and small gardens in the front. We loved walking around to see all the wonderful spring flowers.
We would definitely stay here again to enjoy this lovely part of DC.
Thanks Barry!
