- At EIH, We Only Charge for What you Need. While our weekly rates are competitive with both WISH and WIHN, Elite Intern Housing only charges for the number of weeks you will be here. Both WISH and WIHN charge a flat rate per session, and they do not prorate the fee to a lower amount if you don’t need all the weeks in the session. This means you could end up paying more for weeks you do not need.
- EIH Understands that You Need Date Flexibility to Match Your Internship Dates. Elite Intern Housing lets you pick the dates you need. WISH and WIHN have set sessions and if you need more weeks you may be out of luck and may need to find alternate housing arrangements.
- EIH has Locations Closer to the Capitol and All our Properties are Close to Metro Stops. The #1 reason people choose Elite Intern Housing is our unbeatable location. You cannot be any closer to the U.S. Capitol than our locations with the majority of our Capitol Hill housing on the first residential block from the Capitol. If you are working for a Member of Congress or Senator, this is hands down the best location for intern housing in DC!
- We Understand Safer Neighborhoods are Important, Especially for Those Unfamiliar with Washington DC. Being so close to the Capitol, there is a strong police presence adding to the overall safety at all of our locations. You can walk to your internship with less to worry about and schedule deliveries with a greater assurance that they will be there for you when you return home. Our competitors can’t make the same claim. Elite Intern Housing has locations in the safest areas of DC.
- Our Size Allows EIH to Provide a More Individualized Approach. WISH and WIHN provide intern housing to many more interns. Because we work on a smaller scale, you’ll get more personal attention and a more individualized experience with Elite Intern Housing.
- EIH is committed to low occupancy housing. We do not believe in over-crowding our rowhouses, which means we do not offer “triples,” “quads” or converted dens as bedrooms as our competitors all do. While having more interns in a house would be good for our bottom line, we think it’s a bad policy for everyone else.
- Other perks that make EIH the best choice for intern housing in DC… provided cable TV, WI-FI, monthly whole-houses cleaning and all linens really set Elite Intern Housing apart from all other intern housing options in Washington, DC!
