Situated in Washington, 1.7 km from Washington Union Station and 2.3 km from Supreme Court, Charming 4 Bedroom House!1 Mile from Capitol Hill! features air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. The property is set 3.2 km from Walter E Washington Convention Center, 3.5 km from National Gallery of Art and 3.6 km from National Museum of the American Indian. The property is non-smoking and is located 2.3 km from The Capitol.

We liked the location's proximity to the National Mall/museums/monuments. We felt safe in the neighborhood. The home was well maintained and clean as advertised. The beds were comfortable. Having access to laundry facilities was a major perk! Although free street parking was not 100% guaranteed, we were able to park every evening in front of the home! The VRBO owner made himself very accessible, but we didn't have any needs.

    This stay was a surprise to me. Courteous staff, decent sized room, very clean with a good view of a Church right across the street. The beds though a little small were plush and clean. The location was awesome with a quite neighborhood and very close to public transport stops. They also have a restaurant at the lower level with live shows. At this price it's extremely affordable.
