The location of this apartment is ideal...7 quick minutes to the Eastern Market metro. The walk is beautiful along the tree-lined streets and historical houses of Capitol Hill. The varied restaurants on 8th street are only a few additional minutes from Eastern Market metro. This location made everything feel convenient. The apartment, while smaller than it appears in the photos, was a lovely place to lodge especially because it was only me. While you could make it work for two people, it would start to feel claustrophobic. Because I flew in early in the morning, it was unfortunate, that I could only check in early for the additional cost of $25/hr or $100 for check-in anytime after 12 a.m.
If you are coming from overseas, and may be without a working cell phone, please keep in mind that you won't receive the details for check-in until 30 minutes prior to your check-in via the Airbnb application. That was problematic for me, and I had to get cell service prior to my check-in time. Additionally, the apartment guide was only available online and not in hard copy at the property.
I received a variety of e-mails from Lee & Rush which I'm certain were meant to be helpful but felt a bit intrusive. In two of the e-mails I was asked to take out the garbage which I did when it was full and then again prior to my departure, but considering that I paid a cleaning fee, it seemed a bit inappropriate.
Nonetheless, the apartment was clean, the bed was comfortable, there were nice amenities like a steamer (for clothing) and a variety of bathroom toiletries and towels. The tiny kitchen was perfect for my needs which were mostly storing leftovers and a few groceries from Trader Joe's in the refrigerator; however, there is a stove/oven if you want to cook. The people who either live in the building or perhaps are staying in Airbnb units as well were all very friendly.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone especially if you like the Capitol Hill area.
