Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Using Metro
DC’s subway system, the metro, is easy to use and accessible just a few minutes from the AirBnB. The closest station is Georgia Avenue/Petworth. From the Airbnb, turn right on New Hampshire Ave. After 2.5 short blocks, you’ll turn left on Georgia Ave. Entrances to the station are available on that block on either side of Georgia Ave. The system map and other info is available on the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA) website at WMATA.com. You’ll need to purchase a reloadable SmartTrip card (1 per rider) online or at a metro station, or add one to AppleWallet/GooglePay, to ride.
