We enjoyed our stay in the Capitol Hill area very much. Our apartment was cozy and just right for our family of four. (More than that might feel a bit cramped for some).
The location was fantastic in a lovely neighborhood with a playground close by and a short walk to the Capitol, and a leisurely walk to many of the other D.C. sights.
My only reason for taking off a heart is because of some noise issues we had. We were in the basement apartment and unfortunately our upstairs neighbors at the time were constantly moving about making a lot of noise. I believe this is just the nature of the building, and not everyone realizes how loud they can be, so I do not fault the owners at all. In fact, when I addressed it they were extremely responsive and thoughtful.
