Your search for a DC home base for business or pleasure stops here. This centrally located, completely renovated apartment gives you modern comfort with city life just outside your door.
As with many DC homes, the upper floors have full‑time occupants. The apartment is a completely separate unit with its own private entrance, but noise can travel. This is true city living, and we ask guests to be mindful of neighbors and normal household noise.
Guest Access:
Guests have exclusive access to the entire English basement apartment; it is not shared.
There is a family living upstairs, and everyday sounds of family life, footsteps, stairs, kids playing, can be heard in both directions. You will likely hear them as they go about their day, and they may hear you as well.
The Neighborhood:
You are just a 2‑minute walk from some of the most popular bars and restaurants on the H Street Corridor. Union Market and Gallaudet University are a short walk away, and Chinatown, Eastern Market, and Navy Yard are about a 5‑minute Uber or Lyft ride, depending on traffic. The neighborhood is lively and exciting, with unique bars and a wide range of entertainment options. From live music and comedy to improv and stage plays, guests interested in the arts, or simply looking to try something new, will not be disappointed.
Getting Around:
We are a quick 2‑minute walk to H Street, where you can hop on DC’s free streetcar, which runs along H Street to Union Station, one of the city’s major transit hubs. From Union Station, you can ride the Red Line or easily transfer to other Metro lines for access to the White House, the National Mall, and museums.
You are also close to several Capital Bikeshare stations and multiple bus lines, including the X1, X2, X3, X9, and B2. If you enjoy walking, Eastern Market, Union Market, Capitol Hill, the U.S. Capitol, and Union Station are all within comfortable walking distance.
