Per-diem housing, cleared one stop from the Pentagon

Yes. Arlington, Crystal City, and Pentagon City fall under the GSA Washington, D.C. per-diem locality, and our monthly rates are structured to work within the federal lodging cap for most of the year. Because the D.C. cap changes by month, we confirm the exact figure for your travel dates in your proposal rather than quote a blanket “under per-diem” claim.

No — and it’s a common point of confusion. Arlington, Crystal City, and Pentagon City are covered by the Washington, D.C. locality cap, not a separate Virginia rate. The FY2026 D.C. lodging cap is $276/night March–June, $275 in September–October, $196 November–February, and $183 in July–August. The cost calculator uses the exact figure for your move-in month.

Federal per diem reimburses your actual lodging cost up to the locality cap — it isn’t a flat allowance or a spread you keep. A furnished apartment that costs less than the cap is reimbursed at the lower actual amount. D.C. lodging tax is generally reimbursed separately from the cap, but your travel authority makes the final call. We confirm where a stay lands against your cap in writing.

Yes. We bill on a single monthly invoice per agreement, can structure terms around a TDY or contract timeline, and keep utilities, WiFi, and cleaning bundled into one line so finance isn’t reconciling multiple vendors. Tell us your billing requirements in your quote request.

Our homes are one Metro stop from the Pentagon on the Blue and Yellow lines, five minutes from Reagan National (DCA), and walkable to the Amazon HQ2 employer cluster — all within the National Landing area of Arlington. We keep location at the area level here; you receive the exact address when you book.
