A Capitol Place
Bed and Breakfast
A Private Apartment in Historic Capitol Hill Town House
Washington, District of Columbia USA
Hosts and Owners: Jim and Mary Pellettieri
A
Capitol Place is a privately entranced, completely renovated five-room
apartment. It is the entire lower level of a century old Victorian town house
located in the historic district of Capitol Hill, in a well established and
friendly neighborhood just off Lincoln Park. It is within easy walking distance
of the US Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, Congressional Buildings,
the Tourmobile Tourist stops, the Eastern Market and Union Station Metrorail
(subway) stops and attractions, and it is one block from the City Bus lines.
From the Capitol, it is about a ten to fifteen minutes walk to reach the
Smithsonian Mall and its Museums. The apartment’s downtown neighborhood
location, convenient to the monuments, memorials, and museums, as well as to
government and business, is equally appealing to the tourist and to the business
traveler.
In addition to A Capitol Place B and B apartment, when
available and for longer term rentals, we rent the Main Victorian House fully
equipped, with its two separate bedroom suites and rooms of antiques and
collections. If you are interested in an unhosted long term rental of
either the Main House or the B and B private apartment, ask us for our long term
policy, pricing and pictures.
The historic neighborhood is home to Eastern Market, which is
a landmark in itself and has been operating for over 100 years. There are second
and third generation family operated open food stalls inside and on the weekends
it has an outdoor flea and antique market, a farmers market, and an arts and
crafts market. Capitol Hill with its town homes with flower filled front yards,
and its tree-lined streets with interesting and unique shops and neighborhood
café and restaurants, offers a friendly, small town flavor and atmosphere, yet
it is right in the heart of downtown, Washington, DC. Your hosts, Mary and Jim
Pellettieri, have lived on Capitol Hill and the surrounding area for twenty-five
plus years, in between tours in Europe. They enjoy sharing their knowledge of
the Capitol City and the Capitol Hill neighborhood with their guests.

fruits, and soft drinks and bottled water. The landmark platter of homemade
chocolate brownies welcomes the guest upon arrival at A Capitol Place. Our

and we enjoy sharing our home and city with them.
