So much better than pictures! Lots of windows, light, and space. The historic house is on 3 floors, with the master/king bedroom, master bath, a double bedroom, and sitting room on top. For some, 2 flights of stairs could be an issue for was great for our group as we could put the kids upstairs with us & grandma on the 2nd floor with her own bathroom & adjoining TV room.
In addition to bedrooms, bathrooms & sitting rooms on the 2nd & 3rd floors, on the 1st floor there is a modern kitchen, laundry, half-bath, full dining room, and another large living room! It’s HUGE.
From online pics I thought it might be a bit dark and dated. On the contrary, tons of windows & interesting decor. We were picking. up my son after a semester with the US Senate Page Program. His dorm was directly across the street, which made moving 5 months worth of our teenager’s random accumulations super easy. In fact, we learned that the home’s original owners ran the funeral home that became the Page’s dorm.
Brian was great, responsive and allowed us to leave our bags at the house for a late check out. After hours/self check in was easy and well-explained.
While there is a dedicated parking space at the house (a rarity on Capitol Hill), a car is really unnecessary. Union Station (the DC Metro/Subway), is just a few blocks away. We were close enough to the Metro that my 78 yr old (fit) mother easily walked from Union Station, while pulling her carry on luggage.
Besides the proximity to Union Station, you are just a few blocks from the Capitol. Senate office buildings are within a 5 minute walk. Lots of restaurants, grocery, etc are steps away.
Couldn’t have asked for more!
