Whether you travel north through Rock Creek Park on a scenic jaunt, head up Connecticut Avenue past the National Zoo, or take Wisconsin Avenue starting at the Washington National Cathedral, you see a diverse collection of prosperous neighborhoods with single-family homes, apartment high-rises, and shopping districts. These Upper Northwest communities won't have as many museums or as much history as the other parts of D.C., but they still have plenty of sights, movie theaters, and minimalls.

Experience the height of hospitality at this charming bed-and-breakfast on a quiet residential street near the zoo. With 10 individually decorated guest rooms, this light-splashed home is filled with artwork from the owners' private collection. Conversation between guests is encouraged at the communal breakfast, which includes homemade granola; honey yogurt; plus a daily warm dish such as French toast or quiche. Visitors can enjoy afternoon coffee, tea, and cookies; innkeepers Laura and Raymond Saba can provide recommendations for great dining, shopping, or sightseeing. A two-night minimum stay is required, with few exceptions.
