Union Station Day Trips from DC
Your next day trip is minutes away from Avec on H Street Apartments
One of the greatest things about living in at Avec on H Street is how close you are to seemingly everything! You’re walking minutes from various local markets, rooftop brunch locations, bars, hiking trails, biking trails, you name it!

Unfortunately, in this unforeseen year, our normal idea of traveling and social settings were brought to a screeching halt. Leaving waste to all of our Summer adventures.
