Other Things to Note:
Luggage drop-off is OK and can be left either in the front of the unit, in the small covered entrance area, as you pass through the locked security gate but before front entry door to unit until the place is ready for check-in (or in the rear gated parking area if no precipitation is expected since it's outside and not covered).
9th Street has most things you need, from bakeries and coffee shops, to bars & restaurants, liquor stores, etc. For more serious nightlife, walk up to U Street. Try to avoid the intersection of 7&O; because O Street gets crowded between 6&7th streets.
Bars: Dacha Beergarden: 7&O.; Calico, The Dabney: Located in Blagden Alley on M or N between 8&9th. Bigger nightlife begins at U St. (walk North on NJ Ave, across Rhode Island, turn left onto Florida Ave and U St. begins at 9th.
The Cambria Hotel at 9&O; has a rooftop bar for a quiet date spot. Likewise the Delegate has a quiet rooftop bar and is in the same building as Residence Inn Courtyard at 9&L.;
Restaurants: Many restaurants are located nearby, beginning at 7th & Q. Walk West on P St. (the direction the house is pointing). French, Beergarden, Thai
Closest restaurants: Republic Cantina (Mexican): located a few blocks Southwest, ANXO Cidery & Pintxos: 3rd & Florida, BKK Cookshop (Thai): NJ&R;, Convivial (contemporary American): 8&O.; Tiger Fork (Asian) is some of the best Asian you'll likely have.
Groceries: Giant grocery store is ~3 blocks away at 8th St between O&P.; Whole Foods is at P between 14&15th.
Dog Park: Bundy Dog Park is a fully-fenced astroturf dog park located on P St. on the next block West on P.
Pet Store: Petco located on 7th between P&Q;
Marijuana: The Garden is the best dispensary in the city (so I'm told) and is located half a block North on NJ Ave (exit the property, turn right, walk to the middle of the next block). Open to the public, no card, medical requirements, or other prior authorization required.
Wine: Giant sells beer & wine. Grand Cata on 7th between P&Q; for upscale wine from around the globe. There are many liquor stores nearby at 6&O;, 4th&Florida;, 5th & Rhode Island.
Parking : There is a gated off-street parking space that you may use to park, but please let me know in advance if you need it. The alley can be a challenge for those inexperienced with city driving.
Pet is allowed, but there will be an additional non-refundable pet fee of $80.00 per pet per stay for a maximum of a five (5) night stay for the extra work involved in the cleaning and other related services related to the pet(s). Also, if your stay is more than five (5) nights, a fee of $10 per additional night will apply.
