We spent a fantastic week at Emily and Sean's place in the Capitol Hill area. The location was PERFECT. A short 3-block walk from Union Station/the Capitol but tucked in a neighborhood that felt quiet, safe and friendly. Three blocks to a full grocery, 1 block to a great coffee/sandwich shop (Union Kitchen- we recommend!), 5 blocks to a CVS. Super walkable and easy to be car-less during our visit.
Things we loved about the space: very clean, spacious for a 1-bedroom and comfortable for our family of five using the pull-out couch. Very quiet despite the living space above and bustling city outdoors. All the amenities we needed: full kitchen with modern appliances (which helped us save $ by cooking at home/packing lunches), shampoo/conditioner/soap/lotion), and basic condiments and some items like coffee, tea, nonperishables (which came in VERY handy when I arrived with a cranky, hungry kid late night/after most restaurants had closed).
Also: plenty of extra bedding, linens and special, thoughtful touches like Easter decor (we arrived the night before Easter). They even left a couple treats for our kiddos. We also made use of the game closet in the evenings.
When we did need to communicate much with our hosts, they responded within a few minutes.
We will be bookmarking this spot for future visits to DC. Highly recommend to other travelers.
