The #1 Bed & Breakfast Near the Metro

There are hundreds of chain hotels in DC, but only one bed and breakfast with close access to the Metro in the city. The Mt. Vernon bed and breakfast which is about three blocks from the Mt. Vernon metro station on the Yellow and Green line has nearly a spotless record when it comes to online reviews. The classic B&B setup, Keith and Lydia offer guests a choice of four rooms, and serve breakfast family style at 8:30am. Two of the rooms have access to a private balcony. One guests commented during their visit “at breakfast four different countries were represented. While the look of the large house is relatively unimpressive from the outside one guest commented the “inside is a gorgeous restoration of a beautiful old building. Lots of wood inlay details.”

Mt. Vernon

Neighborhood Vibe: Mount Vernon Square is a rapidly revitalizing urban neighborhood in central DC. Located on the green and yellow lines, this area is home to DC’s Convention Center. This neighborhood is home to a diverse mix of residents from young professionals to longtime DC residents. This area is a hotbed of construction as new commercial ventures and apartment buildings go up daily. However, there is still a cluster of low-income housing blocks in Mount Vernon so caution, especially at night, is advised.

Just two stops up the Yellow line is U street, home to many unique restaurants and bars and toward the end of U street is Meridian Hill Park, also known as Malcom X park. Logan circle is a nearby area with many restaurants and bars to chose from. Both P street and U street feel more like main streets than areas built for tourists. Downtown DC is a short Metro ride or long walk.
