THE SPACE
The top two floors of a gray 1890s Federal-style rowhouse on Capitol Hill, 1,466 sq ft and all yours. Climb the wrought-iron stairs to your own red front door: living, dining, kitchen and a piano room on the main floor, three bedrooms and the full bath upstairs. Walk Score 98, so most guests park the car and leave it.

Where you'll sleep (sleeps 6)
- Primary bedroom: queen bed and a smart TV with Roku
- Second bedroom: queen bed
- Third bedroom: double bed
- Blackout shades, bedside charging, a full-length mirror, extra pillows and blankets, and two sets of linens per bed
- Full bathroom upstairs with a stand-up shower; half bath on the main floor
- Pack 'n play available for the little ones

The kitchen & dining
A fully stocked kitchen: oven and stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, blender, drip coffee maker and an electric kettle with tea. Cookware, knives and cutting boards, cooking basics, dishes and wine glasses for everyone, plus starter supplies so you're not shopping on night one. Trader Joe's and Safeway are a short walk. A separate dining room seats the whole group.

Living & entertainment
A big family room with a Roku smart TV and a Bluetooth speaker, and a piano room for slow evenings in. Board games and books are on the shelves.

Laundry
Washer and dryer in the unit, with detergent to get you started. Iron and ironing board.

Comfort
Wi-Fi throughout, forced-air heat and A/C, and fans for warm nights. Cleaning supplies and a vacuum are on hand for longer stays.

An 1890s home
Real character comes with real quirks: steep interior stairs to the bedrooms, older floors that creak, and not every window has a screen. It's a wonderful house for families who walk everywhere, and we want you to know what to expect.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Capitol Hill is DC's classic rowhouse neighborhood: tree-lined streets of 19th-century homes a few blocks from the Capitol dome. You're between Eastern Market and Barracks Row, so coffee, bakeries, 30+ restaurants and weekend markets are all on foot, and families walk to the playgrounds at Lincoln Park. It's a real residential street that goes quiet at night.
