Location

  • Location is best described as:
    • Downtown
  • Nearest major city: Washington, DC
  • Directions to property:
    We are located near the intersection of 13 and R Street, Northwest on R Street. The William Lewis House is very conveniently located. It is an easy walk to 17th Street and Dupont Circle as well as the U Street/Cardozo Metro station. City buses and taxis are frequent on 14th Street, less than a block away.
  • Nearest major airport: Washington DC, DC (DCA-Ronald Reagan National) 5 miles
  • Directions from airport:
    We recommend taking a taxi so that you don't have to negotiate an unfamiliar subway while you have bags. To use metro from National Airport take a Yellow Line train going toward Mount Vernon Square. At Mount Vernon Square, step off of the train and wait for the next train, this should be a green line train. Step onto the green line train and take it to U Street-Cardozo. Exit the station at the 13th and U Street side. At the top of the escalator turn left. Go to R Street and turn right. We are the fourth house on the right.
