Welcome to the heart of the Shaw neighborhood in DC! Our flat has a fantastic `Walk Score` of 97, making it a walker`s paradise. You`ll have easy access to amazing food, entertainment, and shopping.

Lyft and Uber are readily available throughout DC.

Here`s some info on getting here: If you`re flying into DCA, taking the Yellow Metro line straight to Shaw Metro Station or a taxi/Uber/Lyft is the easiest option during rush hours. If you`re arriving at IAD or BWI, a taxi/Uber/Lyft is the best way to go. If you`re coming by bus or train, you can take the Red Metro line to Gallery Place/Chinatown and transfer to the Green/Yellow Metro line to Shaw Station.
