DC has many neighborhoods and great public transport. The Metro will let you get around town easily. AirBnB and VRBO may also have good options. Be aware - hotels will be more expensive this time of year because of the Cherry Blossoms.
NOMA/Union Market
NOMA (North Of Massachusetts Avenue) is an up and coming neighborhood with cool places to eat and a lively atmosphere. Union Market is adjacent and has shopping and food halls.

Other neighborhoods
There are many neighborhoods and places to stay in DC and it’s easy to get around! Takoma Park is a lovely residential area near the party location. Our neighborhood of Riggs Park/Michigan Park is very quiet and metro accessible. Georgetown and Capitol Hill are historic, central, and have hotels. You can also look across the river in Arlington or Alexandria, VA.

Getting there
Flying
The most convenient airport to DC is Reagan National (DCA). It’s on the Yellow/Blue Metro line and you can easily get anywhere in the city from there. You can also fly into Baltimore/Washington Airport (BWI) or Dulles International (IAD). These are farther out from DC. You can still take public transportation, but it takes longer or is more complicated. (Just ask us if you need help!) You can also get an Uber, Lyft, or cab to and from the city.
Getting around
We recommend taking the Metro for most of your needs. We use it every day to commute to work and get around the city. You can just tap your credit card or phone to ride! Learn more and plan your trip here: WMATA.com
DC is also a very walkable and bikeable city!
