Located in Washington DC’s trendy Navy Yard neighbourhood – just a stone’s throw from the Anacostia River – this bright, contemporary apartment housed in a building dating back to the 1930s is an ideal spot to soak up a cool corner of the city away from the tourist crowds. From the moment you walk through the lush green communal courtyard, you’ll feel the relaxed ambience of your easy-going surroundings. Inside your home, large windows fill the main living space in light, with a comfortable blue sofa inviting you to kick back with a glass of wine or curl up with a good book while admiring the leafy views. We love the decorative touches here too, like the arty clocks above the dining nook and the bedroom’s vintage-inspired cameo portraits. When you’re not soaking up the serene atmosphere of your pad, go out and explore the sights. Barracks Row Main Street’s pretty shops are a five-minute walk away, the U.S. Navy Museum is an eight-minute stroll and the Yards’ award-winning restaurants and craft breweries are thirteen minutes away on foot. Factor in Nationals Parks for baseball games (a seventeen-minute walk) and the United States Capitol that's thirty minutes away on foot, and you’ve got everything you need for a fun, culture-packed stay in DC.
