We are a 7 minute walk to the Eastern Market metro!
Take this metro to the National Mall (Smithsonian exit) or anywhere downtown. Download the SmarTrip app on your phone and create a metro card. Once you do that, add some money to the card and use the reader on your phone at the station to enter. I find that using Google maps is really helpful for finding which lines to take and when they run.
