City advice
Getting around
Metro & Uber
Clarendon metro is a quick 10 min walk from the apt. It’s cheap and fast, and goes pretty much anywhere you need to go in the city. Uber/lyft is fast and convenient for anytime you don’t want to take the metro.
Ways to save
Free museums/activities
Almost all the smithsonian museums are free of charge! The zoo is free too!
What to pack
Walking shoes a must
You’ll trek all over this city if you’re here to sightsee, so bring your comfortable walking shoes. You’ll need them!
