Once named Bon Appetit's new restaurant of the year, Rose's Luxury has become a great combination of neighborhood restaurant and destination dining spot. No reservations, and the line forms early. Local tip: Easier to get in on a Tuesday or Wednesday night.

Rose's Luxury's more mellow little brother. A great coffee/sandwich spot during the day with more elaborate dinner and drinks in the evenings. Lovely patio on the grounds of a revamped Navy hospital that is now a community center.

旅行者建议

出行

See sights without using public or private transportation.

Capitol Hill is an extraordinarily walkable neighborhood with interesting historic homes on each block. The U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, Eastern Market and gobs of restaurants are all within a mile of our apartment.
出行

In normal times, Metro is a great way to explore the city.

We provide Metro "SmartTrip" cards that guests can load up with funds (and leave behind for the next guest). With three Metro stops within a half mile of the apartment, there's no need to drive anywhere after arrival.
