Guest Access The apartment entrance is located at the rear of the house. The apartment is not shared, and it is entirely yours to enjoy.  Please be aware, there are other tenants living in the residence (via a seperate entrance) and there is a shared wall, so there is the potential for some sound runoff.  The Neighborhood Brookland, lovingly referred to by the locals as ‘Little Italy`, is a leafy residential neighborhood home to the Franciscan Monastery (an oasis of peace, built in the 1800`s with beautiful gardens, great place to sit and relax), Catholic University and the largest Basilica in the US. It`s away from the hustle and bustle of the city while only 3 stops on the Metro from Union station, moments from downtown, the mall and monuments.  Murals line the Brookland sidewalks, providing an ever evolving backdrop - transforming the busy streets into colorful exhibitions.  Tour the ART Walk, one of the largest galleries and exhibitions in DC. Enjoy the wonderful, artsy neighborhood with tons of great dining options!  Getting Around  Buses flank the surrounding areas, and can take you all over the city, but exploring on foot is an easy option as well!  The closest metro is the Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro, which is a 9 minute stroll from the home, and follows the Red line. The H8 bus can take you directly to the station in just over 5 minutes. Once you are on the train you are just 2 stops to Union station where you can walk to the Capitol building and down onto the Mall!! Uber taxi`s are plentiful in the area as well, park and ride are also available at Rhode Island Metro station. 0.4 miles from the house. We can provide a parking permit with advanced notice, allowing you to park one vehicle on the street without restriction.  Other things to note ~ We've partnered with DC’s longest-running city tour company Old Town Trolley Tours to help you get the best from your stay, at the best rate possible!
