easy walk through nice neighborhood to get to the station, also at the Pentagon City Mall when you get there. We have two Metro card we can loan out (with some sort of collateral) so that you do not have to pay the 5 buck fee for the card.

About the same distance from the house as Pentagon City but area more confusing. I prefer the Pentagon City stop for the Metro.
