Who
We Are
Capitol Hill Stay is a small local business, owned
and operated by Capitol Hill residents. When you contact
us you deal directly with the owners.
What
We Do
Capitol Hill Stay is an extended stay housing provider
specializing in charming, fully furnished apartments
for short or long term stays on close-in historic Capitol
Hill.
Where
We Are
All Capitol Hill Stay apartments are located 1 to 5
blocks from the US Capitol. This is a highly sought-after
location. It is a ten minute walk to 2 metros, numerous
restaurants, shops, and amenities.
The US Capitol Police patrol this area of Capitol Hill
closest to the Capitol, making it unusually safe. Capitol
Hill Stay has been in business for six years, and we've
never had a single crime incident involving one of our
apartments.
Capitol Hill is a huge neighborhood, made up of many
smaller neighborhoods. Generally speaking, the 'close-in'
area closest to the Capitol (where all Capitol Hill
Stay properties are) is the most sought-after.
Our
Properties
Capitol Hill Stay has approximately 20
apartments, all recently renovated with modern kitchens
and baths, many with upscale amenities like granite
counters and marble floors. They range from studios
to large 2 bedroom apartments. They are in historic
buildings, chosen specifically for location and charm.
Each is fully furnished, using high quality furnishings,
antiques, etc. Each is all inclusive, including utilities,
high speed internet, DirecTV or cable television (all
CHS apartments are now receiving new flat screen HDTV
televisions with digital packages)
Why
Choose Us?
We provide an excellent service at a reasonable price
(often thousands a month less than national corporate
housing providers charge). We are a locally owned small
business. We do this professionally, as a full time
job.
We chose this location because of the quality of the
neighborhood, it's amenities, and the overall safety
factor. You can find cheaper lodging in other neighborhoods
or even in other parts of Capitol Hill (further from
the Capitol), but the old adage that 'you get what you
pay for' is very true in Washington, DC.
Here's
what past tenants have said:
The
best part about CHS is that the apartments are extremely
well located - 2 metro stops, tons of restaurants
and bars and easy access to pretty much everywhere.
Another great advantage was that Capitol Hill Stay
worked with the State Department's complicated sliding
scale per diem, something most Capitol Hill companies
can't be bothered with. The (Junior 1 BR) apartments
themselves were great - compact but up to date, stylish
and with a built in "home" feel you just can't
get in a hotel. Highly recommended.

We
loved this apartment. It was
beautifully furnished, including an upstairs
outdoor deck and a beautiful small garden attached and
also had great security and an amazing location on Capitol
Hill, off the orange and red lines and close to Eastern
market. The neighborhood is beautiful and close
to great restaurants, not to mention the apartment
is two blocks from the Capitol, and the property owners
were responsive to all of our concerns and needs.

CHS
caters to the needs of FSOs and other Federal Employees
returning from overseas or planning long or short-term
stays in Washington D.C.The area is one of the best
(and safest) walking neighborhoods in the District.
Plenty of green space (National Mall, Capitol Hill Parks,
etc.) within easy walking distance. The location is
great: one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Washington,
and definitely the best area on Capitol Hill. Each unique
unit is just steps away from the Capitol, National Mall,
Eastern Market, several parks, and less than ten minute
s walk to two different metro lines.

My
6 month stay with Capitol Hill Stay will always be memorable
for my first stay in Washington, DC. Living on Capitol
Hill is certainly one of the highlights of my stay.
The properties you have are extremely accommodating,
provide convenient locations, and perfectly appointed
with everything one might need. I felt very secure
and safe with the presence of the US Capitol Police
in the area. Your willingness to be of assistance
in any way and professionalism gives credibility to
you and your operations. What a wonderful stay you provided.

My
job is based in Madison, WI but my job requires that
I spend about 60 percent of my time in Washington, D.C.
Since November, 2003 my company has leased one of Capitol
Hill Stays' properties. Not only has this saved us
significant money but I do not mind the constant
travel. Many trips I only have to bring my briefcase.
The
owners of Capitol Hill Stay are wonderful landlords.
If anything needs fixing it is done immediately and
they take great care of their properties. I highly
recommend Capitol Hill Stay and would be happy to provide
more detail about my experience.

I'm
familiar with several of the Capitol Hill Stay properties
and felt at home in each one of them. After staying
in hotels while traveling for the last ten years, staying
in these historic apartments was a welcomed change.
They're safe, convenient and located in one of the nicest
DC neighborhoods.

What
a relief it was to arrive in DC with only my suitcase
but to have all the comforts of home. The neighborhood
is very pleasant and convenient to government offices
and entertainment. CHS worked with me to tailor the
services to meet the complex requirements for my employer's
reimbursement plan. I will recommend Capitol Hill
Stay to my colleagues.
