Cheerful and upbeat, this apartment has hosted greats in folk, rock, jazz, plus prestigious visiting scholars. Welcoming neighborhood community: social, quiet, and caring. Hear “Taps” from Barracks row at dusk, and the award-winning marching band’s rehearsal passing by. “This is a brilliant place to stay in Capitol Hill. Jo is an excellent host and really responsive. The apartment is big and roomy, and a 20-minute walk to the Capitol, or 10 minutes to the nearest metro at Eastern Market. I highly recommend staying here!” -Robin Bates, UK (Library of Congress Kluge Fellow), in first floor Old Corner Barbershop: https://www.sabbaticalhomes.com/rental/181688 “The apartment has both an excellent location and fantastic vibe. I spent one year and had one of the best stays for my fellowship year in Washington, DC. Jo was more than amazing and went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable. She is one of the best hosts/landlords I have had! She was also so very welcoming to my cat who accompanied me during the stay. The terrace garden and the sunny bedroom were just the touch of perfection that I did not know I needed! I cannot recommend the place and Jo enough! -Jayita Sarkar, Scotland (Carnegie Fellow) in 2nd Story: https://www.sabbaticalhomes.com/rental/175416 "We have had the pleasure of staying at both of Jojo's Capitol Hill apartments and you couldn’t ask for a better location or a sweeter place to stay! These beautiful apartments are within walking distance to DC landmark buildings, but perhaps equally as importantly, to restaurants, cafes, shops, and a lovely park. In thoughtfully appointed rooms featuring Americana artwork, her HillHouseDC apartments have everything you need for an inspired stay in Washington DC.” -Emma’s Revolution (multiple stays, 2021-2026) These and other tenants welcome questions from perspective tenants, contact info provided upon request.
