Our home is a 15 minute walk to the Hyattsville Crossing Metro station on the green line in beautiful University Park - a quiet, safe neighborhood inside the DC beltway. Easy street parking. Walk, drive, or take the bus to University of Maryland and terrific restaurants. 30 minute Metro trip to Smithsonian. We are quiet, easy-going and LGBT-friendly. We look forward to welcoming you to our home! This is a bright, very clean room with wonderful, relaxing energy. The house is elegant with finished woodwork and antiques. The room is private. You share the kitchen, living space and bathroom. You can relax in the recliner (it's an electric massage chair!) in your room or join us in the common space. I provide breakfast for guests who are staying less than one week. Guests who are staying a week or longer are welcome to cook meals in the kitchen. As you can see, the kitchen is open, bright and clean. There is a Target, a shopping mall and two grocery stores in walking distance: a Whole Foods and a Safeway (each less than a half mile away). We also now have a Trader Joe’s grocery store one mile away. If I am not at home, I am always available by email or text to answer questions during your stay. University Park is a wonderful town of old-stock homes built in the 1920s and 30s. We have our own police force, mayor and town council. We have a new Whole Foods grocery store, Starbucks and restaurants a few blocks away. In the same area is a Gold's Gym that provides free 3-day passes. We are close to College Park, where there is a new Trader Joe’s grocery store, as well as the Hyattsville arts district, where there are many restaurants and shops. A Safeway grocery store and a Target are within walking distance between here and the Metro station, making it easy to pick up groceries and items you might need during your stay. There is plenty of street parking. The closest metro station is Prince George's Plaza on the green and yellow lines, which is only a 10-minute walk away. Or you can jump on the University Park town shuttle bus (a small, white bus) that takes commuters from town to the metro station and back during the morning and evening rush hours. Right down our street, 2 short blocks, is the bus stop (across Route 1 at Sheridan Street) for the University of Maryland buses that run north up Route 1 directly to campus. Metro buses also run south into Hyattsville from the bus stop at Route 1 and Tuckerman Street. We are in a perfect location for artists-in-residence in the Hyattsville Arts District or anyone who is doing research at the National Archives. If you have research or an internship at the University of Maryland-College Park, we are a short bus ride (or even a walk) away. If you are attending meetings at the NOAA Center in College Park, you can actually walk! We are close to NASA-Goddard if you have business there. And, of course, you can easily access Capitol Hill, Silver Spring, neighborhoods throughout the metro system, and even National Airport (DCA) using the close-by metro. And now the silver line metro train goes to Dulles airport (IAD)! We are inside the beltway, and Uber drivers are always available.
