We are just one block away from many great bars and restaurants on 14th Street. Red Derby and Taqueria Habanero are our favorites! Thip Khao, one of DC`s most popular restaurants, is just a few blocks away. There are several small corner groceries just one or two blocks away, where you can buy snacks, grocery items, and wine. And the Columbia Heights metro, a 15-minute walk away, has everything — Target, Giant, restaurants and bars galore, FedEx, etc.
There is also a hiking path entrance to Rock Creek Park one block away from our house, just head up 16th and you will see the entrance on the west side of 16th street. It`s a great path for people on foot.
We are looking forward to hosting you soon!
Guest Access:
Guests have this entire 2-bedroom apartment to themselves and will be sent access to unlock the private entrance door prior to check-in.
There is a family living upstairs. Please note that the everyday sounds and noises of family life (footsteps, stairs, kids playing, etc.) can be heard in both directions. You will undoubtedly hear them (and they will hear you) as they go about their everyday life.
The Neighborhood:
We are a stone’s throw from some of DC’s trendiest areas; The ever lively 14th Street Corridor is a great area where you can find bars, restaurants, galleries, boutiques, coffee shops, music venues, vintage stores: the 14th Street scene has an experience for everyone
With boutiques and family owned shops intermingled with big box stores (so big you could get lost in), any shopper will find something up their alley! Stroll the mural lined streets and take in a show at the Tivoli Theater in lovely Columbia Heights!
The U St Corridor which houses some of the best nightlife in the District is also a short distance from the apartment - the amazing music, food, and drink scene is a great way to spend an evening, and soak up the DC experience.
Getting Around:
The closest metro station is Columbia Heights metro, a 14-minute walk down 14th street. From there guests have access to the green and yellow lines.
There is a bus stop right around the corner on 16th street, a main artery of the city that will zip you directly to downtown.
There is a Capital bikeshare station at 14th St & Spring Rd NW, only a few minutes walk from the home.
Lime, Bird, and UBER Jump scooters can be found all over the city as well and rented using your smartphone.
There is a parking permit included, so guests can just park and go!
Other Things to Note:
Our home and our neighborhood are both blissfully quiet all night long. During the day, you can expect to hear some family-related noise, as the residents living upstairs have an active toddler who sometimes runs around on the first floor, usually in the early evenings and on weekends.
