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.

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).

Uber and Lyft taxis readily available throughout the city (download mobile app) Capital bikeshare: closest rack is at Columbia Rd & Georgia Ave NW.

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.
