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 bedroom in the apartment is equipped with a sound machine for those who like to sleep in.
For those more sensitive to sound traveling, we might suggest packing earplugs as well.
The Neighborhood:
The Bloomingdale / Shaw neighborhood is popular for families and younger DC residents because it is a quiet, charming neighborhood yet offers quick access to downtown. You will find many wonderful cafes and coffee shops nestled among the tree lined streets. We are only a short walk to a charming weekend farmer’s market, wonderful restaurants, coffee shops, bars and pubs, a new movie theater, Union Market, and more! We provide a welcome packet with all of our favorite local recommendations.
Getting Around:
With a walk score of 93% (a walkers paradise), plenty of buses are available in the neighborhood and can take you all over the city, but exploring on foot is an easy option as well! The closest metro is the Shaw - Howard University Station, which is a 10 minute stroll from the home, and follows the Green-Yellow lines. Be on the lawn of the National Mall in under 25 minutes! Ubers are plentiful also.
