Some of DC's most popular spots are just a quick walk up Georgia Avenue, including: Doubles coffee shop, Sonny's Pizza, No Kisses (bar), Midland Beer Garden and St. Vincent Wine Bar. Doubles is a very popular coffee shop, just around the corner. They have incredible breakfast sandwiches as well as a small but tasty lunch menu. They share a back patio with Sonny's Pizza which is an easy spot to let kids run around while you get 15 minutes of peace with you coffee! And an easy place to grab beer/wine and pizza in the evenings. 11th Street is also walkable (about a half mile) and features some Michelin rated restaurants, like Makan and Queen's English, and other popular restaurants like El Chucho, Redrocks Pizza and The Coupe (American/diner, great for breakfast or lunch).

(: There are four bus lines that are just steps away, including H2 and H4 (running west/east along Columbia Rd and Irving) and 70 & 79 (running north/south on Georgia Ave.). Uber and Lyft taxis readily available throughout the city (download mobile app) Capital bikeshare: closest rack is at Columbia Rd & Georgia Ave NW. Lime, Bird, Lyft, and Uber JUMP scooters (and bikes / mo-peds) are readily available on nearly every corner of the city wherever you can find one, rent them easily using their app and your smartphone On the weekends and holidays, free parking is available out front of the home on Columbia Road, on either side of the street. Parking is also permitted from 6:30p - 9a on weekdays. Other Things to Note: We are a family living upstairs, and have 2 children who you may possibly be able to hear at times happily playing and running around as children often do. Respectfully, please refrain from booking with us if you are super extra sensitive to noise. Some chance for noise should actually come to be expected with any DC English basement rental.
