Steps from US Capitol - Library of Congress- Museums ..
Welcome to the Nation's Capital! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION !!! Location is the name of the game, and that’s where we are champs! Check it out on the map — we are just steps from the U.S. Capitol! This is a large, bright 1BR 1BA — not a basement — not a shared space — it's your 1000 sq ft private apartment with its own entrance! Our convenient and safe location has an authentic neighborhood feeling. While staying here, you may run into your favorite (or not) politicians, as "these people" are our neighbors, and so we receive additional protection from the U.S. Capitol Police and their K-9s. We are half a block (less than three minutes on foot) from the Metro, and are perfectly situated on the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines. You can take the Metro from either Reagan National or Dulles International airports! We are walking distance to Nationals Stadium (10-15 minutes stroll — GO NATS!), Navy Yard, Eastern Market, restaurants, cafés, parks, a cozy old-fashioned movie theater, and much more. *** We are fully inspected by the District of Columbia, and we have a valid certificate of occupancy and current licenses. *** Our space sleeps two comfortably. An additional single hotel-style roll-away bed is available (not an air bed) for a third registered guest or for those who prefer not to share the queen bed. A small fee applies, and the roll-away bed MUST be requested at booking time. The sofa is not a sleeper-sofa, and we kindly ask guests not to sleep on it. YOU GET: ● Peaceful, large, newly carpeted bedroom with queen bed and extremely comfortable memory-foam mattress and pillows ● Smart Flat-Screen TV (Please note we do not have cable TV) which has some limited OTA and streaming channels. You may use your favourite streaming service, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon ● Complimentary super-fast WiFi for this unit only, not shared with anyone else. You're secure! ● Central A/C and heating, controlled by you (NEST) ● Ceiling fans in living room and bedroom ● Tiled bathroom with large shower ● Large, fully equipped Kitchen with granite countertops ● Gas stove and oven ● Microwave ● Dishwasher (detergent provided) ● Toaster ● Electric kettle ● American drip-style and Italian moka coffee makers ● Hair Dryer and Curling Iron ● Iron and Ironing Board ● European-style washer/dryer (single unit) for small loads only (laundry detergent is NOT provided) ● Complimentary Coffee & Teas and basic condiments (oil, vinegar, salt & pepper) ● Shampoo, Conditioner, Shower Gel, Hand Soap ● Bathroom Tissue and Paper Towels ● Linen ● Make-up remover and make-up towels. Dark pillowcases are available in the closet for your use
PLEASE NOTE: CHECK-IN TIME IS 3:00 pm. CHECK-OUT TIME IS 11:00 am. We can sometimes accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs, but we are very closely booked and often it's not possible. Please inquire as far in advance as possible, and we will gladly try to help you. If you need to leave your luggage and we can't help you, there is a convenient business half a block away which charges a small fee for this service. We take pride in providing a clean, clutter-free, updated space. If something breaks or doesn't work properly, please let us know. Because we're so close to the Capitol, and the security situation has changed somewhat, we now require IDs upon reservation confirmation, for each guest. Only registered guests may stay. Please do not have parties. We will accommodate only certified service animals, but we're sorry to say that other furry friends must stay home. Book with confidence! A spotless flat has always be our primary goal and the reviews reflect our commitment: Read them yourself! The cleaning team have been with us for more than ten years, and are fully trained on the necessary steps for you to have a safe and comfortable stay. All surfaces (including linens) are cleaned with disinfectants. To limit contact with common surfaces, lights in common areas are motion-activated. We don't allow smoking inside. You may smoke outside, and there are two seating areas: The front, which is good for people-watching, and the more intimate back patio. We do not provide ash trays. For your safety and ours, there are exterior security cameras on our property. These cameras are registered with the Metropolitan Police, and, if lawfully requested by proper authority, we will allow video access. Of course, we respect your privacy, and there are no cameras of any kind inside the flat. Location — Where are we? 1 Block from the Library of Congress 2 Blocks from U.S. Capitol and U.S. Capitol Visitor Center 3 Blocks from U.S. Supreme Court 5 Blocks from Eastern Market 1 Mile from Union Station 10-15 Minutes walk to Nationals Stadium Steps from DNC and RNC You don't need a car to explore the city, and you may rent a bike for the day and cycle around. D.C. is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country. There are two D.C. BikeShare stations within a block of our location. If you use a car, please understand that parking on our block is heavily restricted and you risk being towed if you park without a permit. Please contact us to arrange a permit. There's a gym, half a block away, that offers daily passes. Nearby restaurants include local favorites Bullfeathers and Talay Thai. Beer, wine, and spirits are available for sale at several nearby locations. Within a five-minute walking radius, you can find coffee shops (including Starbucks), banks, dry cleaner, liquor stores, groceries, pharmacies, a U.S. Post Office, and fine restaurants on Pennsylvania Avenue. Within a 15-minute walk, you'll find Washington's famous Eastern Market, and hot Barracks Row restaurants — including a 2 Michelin-star restaurant. At Eastern Market you can find fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, and a bakery. There’s also a public swimming pool, which charges a modest daily fee for visitors from out of town.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with Netflix. The memory foam bed provides a full night's sleep and the bathroom offers hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Just perfect!!
We are from central GA and were not at all familiar with the area. The apartment was just as described and more. The owners have thought of everything there is to make our stay just as comfortable as if we were in our own home. It is located on a quiet residential street just a couple of blocks from public transit. We have felt 100 percent safe the entire stay. I would recommend anyone visiting Washington, D.C. to stay here!! You will not be disappointed.

Great neighborhood
This well kept and smartly dressed house was welcoming, very clean, and comfortable. So close to the metro (just a half block) that it didn’t matter it rained 4 out of 7 days. We had easy access to the entire town. We would definitely stay again to continue our exploration of all the sites we didn’t get to see. So much to do here! Thank you Marina and James for the helpful suggestions of good eats and things to do.

This is an AWESOME location and super easy check-in/check-out process. Marina and James provided excellent hospitality throughout my 4-day stay. The apartment is decked out with pretty much anything you could need and it’s both spacious and quiet. The Metro stop is less than a block away and the capitol buildings are just as close. I thoroughly enjoyed a week without a car. I highly recommend this rental!

Nice weather, then nice walk
It took us about 20 plus minutes at a good pace to get to the Mall. Nice weather so nice walk. One queen bed in bedroom, and if someone doesn't mind sleeping on couch then a third. What could have been nicer? It would have been better to have an updated coffee pot with nice beans and a grinder.

Convenient, Comfortable and Clean (The 3 C's)
The accommodations were very clean and comfortable, with all the necessities that we needed and wanted. But, by far the feature that made this the very best place for us, was the convenient Metro stop only 1 and a half blocks away. This was a sightseeing trip and the location made it possible for us to see as much as we did. To be truthful, our legs would not have let us see half as much as we did without the Metro being so close.
Thanks

Lovely DC Stay
We had the perfect stay at La Fosca in DC. Everything we needed was steps away in a pleasant and safe neighborhood. We were able to see all the sites on our list and visit with old friends for an afternoon as well.
We highly reccomend Marina's place. My husband was so pleased with the accommodation that he felt the need to review as well, Please see below. You won't regret staying at this cute and clean accommodation!
La Fosca B&B Review Wash D.C. 9-18-24
The older cabinets & appliances give this old Brownstone
a comfortable 'old shoe' feeling while the newer stainless
sinks & composite marble counters with big tile floors
give personal hygiene and kitchen experiences a clean feel.
The Chairs in front are sturdy as can be with new anodized
bolt/screw construction & fresh paint. The back patio seats
and front yard chairs are a great place to rest and reflect
on the day. Much of the inside is freshly painted as well.
WiFi and climate controls are state of the art.
The living room is nicely done and wall art through out
perfectly fits this space for a great visit.
Topped off with a metro station just around the corner
and a sandwich shop liquor store next to two restaurants
this location is as perfect as can be for a visit to DC !
