While you have access to a full kitchen, the dining options in Bloomindale are excellent, so don`t miss out on some of those hotspots, and we of course love to share our recommendations!

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.



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:

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 2 to 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. Enjoy the wonderful, artsy neighborhood with tons of great dining options!



Getting Around:

The metro is super close, Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metro only 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!! The Brookland metro which is surrounded by bars and restaurants is also close by, 18 mins on foot (runs the red line). The G8 bus can take you directly to the Brookland-CUA metro in 12.

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.
