Our neighborhood is cute and quiet close to the center of DC. We are just a short trip away from downtown, U Street, 14th Street, Union Market, Shaw and the H Street Corridor. Several small restaurants and coffee shops are within walking distance.

Noma-Gallaudet University and Rhode Island-Brookland Metro stops (red line) are both about half a mile away. The red line offers access to the heart of DC including Union Station, Metro Center, and DuPont circle. Capital Bikeshare is just two blocks away. Take the G8 Bus on Rhode Island avenue straight into the heart of downtown. We are about 1.5 miles from Union Station for Amtrak, regional trains, and busses. 15 min car ride from Reagan Airport. Our location is also right off the MBT (Metropolitan Branch Trail), a great bike trail and running spot to get around the city.

The place is an amazing stay. Tons of room and space and even an entire junior apt in the basement. The bathrooms are a bit small, but that's because I'm 200lbs and 6'2. The backyard is unmatched; it was such a serene location to rest and have your morning tea.
