Stay in one of Washington, D.C. most desirable locations with everything you need and want to have a great stay within walking distance. The space is a completely private 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom apartment with Full Kitchen and living room. We are excited to welcome our first few guests and as we while we make the space the best it can be! The Space: You will have full use of our first floor apartment with everything you need for your stay. The whole house was built in 1851! The house is filled with character from the crown molding to hardwood floors throughout. Since the house is 171 years old there are sounds that can carry through from the other spaces. So if you are a very light sleeper you might want to come prepared with ear plugs. Guest Access: There is a private entrance on the side of the house. The Neighborhood: Does the perfect Washington, DC Airbnb location exist?… Yes. Yes, it does and I’m going to tell you why:) Welcome to my neighborhood, the historic Eastern Market neighborhood on Capitol Hill! Now let's get to the fun stuff. General Information About the Location: Where you will be staying is in the heart of Historic Eastern Market Neighborhood, a sub-neighborhood of Capitol Hill. For full-time residents of Washington, D.C., Eastern Market is one of the most desirable neighborhoods to live in. Our opinion is that Eastern Market has a more authentic D.C. neighborhood feel than Georgetown. Not to mention a more convenient location to tour museums, eat at neighborhood restaurants, attend sporting events, and go to concerts. We can't forget to mention that Eastern Market has a metro stop within a 3-minute walk and gives you access to the whole city….well besides Georgetown which does not have a metro stop….yikes. But don't take this the wrong way, you will definitely want to spend a day or few hours walking around Georgetown:) Food and Dining: Restaurants: There are over 175 restaurants within a mile and a half of where you will be staying. From ultra high-end restaurants to greasy pizza shops we have something for everyone. Coffee Shops: You can have your pick of coffee shops within a 5 - 7 minute walk you can choose from national chains like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. If you prefer boutique local options we have plenty of those options as well with Peregrine Espresso and Radici to name a few. Grocery Stores: If you feel like cooking in one of our well-equipped kitchens. Within 15 minutes you will have a Whole Foods, Harris Teeter, Trader Joe's, Safeway, and Yes Organic. Shopping If you are looking to get in a little retail therapy while you are visiting, Eastern Market is packed with a bunch of fun, diverse shops. You can travel to City Center and visit the section of ultra-high-end retail. There are large store brands like Macy’s, Nordstrom Rack, and H&M downtown. Big Time Attractions Within Walking Distance The National Mall - Is a 20-minute walk from where you will be staying. Our friends at Wikipedia described it well “The long, grassy National Mall is home to iconic monuments including the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. At the eastern end is the domed U.S. Capitol (\*a 15 min walk from where you will be staying), and the White House is to the north. It's also flanked by Smithsonian museums, and its lawns and pathways are often crowded with school groups, joggers, and softball teams. Nearby, the Tidal Basin reservoir is known for its blossoming cherry trees” The Wharf and Navy Yard: If you are looking for a more modern experience or want to attend a sporting event. Navy Yard and the Wharf are great spots and all within 2 miles. Nationals Park and Audi Field are both with a 30 Minute Walk Dancing and Late Night Locations: There are plenty of bars around Capitol Hill, The Wharf, Navy Yard, and walkable locations around where you will be staying. But if you want to go where the most activity is from 10 pm to 2 am we would recommend you hop in an Uber or Lyft and head over to U Street/14th Street in NW DC. It is a 15-30 minute ride to that area and you will find a diverse blend of nightlife options. You can also take the metro but keep in mind service stops at Midnight. Getting Around: Flights: DCA: Also known as Reagan International Airport is the most convenient airport. You can either take the metro or a 15-45 minute Uber ride, depending on traffic. Dulles (IAD): Dulles International Airport is approximately an hour drive from the big blue carriage house by car. BWI: BWI is approximately a 45-minute drive from the big blue carriage house Trains: If you were taking the Amtrak into Union Station then you have a couple of options to get to the blue carriage house. Walking: 1.2 miles which according to map programs will take you 30min. If you don’t have a ton of luggage and the Weather is nice it is an incredible walk by the capitol building and other historic buildings Uber: 7-10min based on traffic Metro: The metro stop at Eastern market is a three-minute walk away. Unfortunately, there is not a metro stop at union station on the same line so taking the metro is not the most convenient. You will have to transfer from the Orange/Silver/Blue line to the red line at gallery place. Bus: There are buses available Scootering: There are scooters available through rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft. Other Things to Note: \*\*\*Please note that parking is limited and subject to availability. If you require parking during your stay, we kindly ask that you reach out to us prior to confirming your reservation so we can check availability and make the necessary arrangements. Nestled in a quaint residential neighborhood, we may be able to offer garage parking for one vehicle at a rate of $20 per day, depending on availability or Union Station provides a convenient, with garage parking available at approximately $25 per night.
