This is a truly fabulous location and every time you walk out the door you have to pinch yourself that you are so close to the US Congress and the most wonderful and largest library in the world. It would be hard to beat this location to soak up Washington DC's incredible sights. Within less than a minute or two you walk to the Library of Congress and just before is the Capital Bike share, so although I was working I could come back and take a beautiful ride around the mall to see the marvellous monuments. The studio is really lovely, light filled, well designed for maximum space including a bath! It is exceptionally clean and neat. Dunnzy is a warm, welcoming and responsive host. There are an array of restaurants and eateries nearby - best by far was Bernaise - great French style bistro, do not go to the Italian place, good Thai on Pennyslvania Ave and a terrific French bakery on the corner of (7th?) street and Pennslyvania Ave. Each Sat and Sun there is a great craft and food market (Eastern market) just a few mins walk away. There is also a nice park at the opposite end of Independence Ave, you veer to the left on North Carolina and opposite the park is a great French style deli with cheese, bread and condiments. Recommend Sweetgreen for light and wonderful salads you can have also for an early dinner with good quality bread. To find great coffee walk down 3rd st about 15 mins to H st and there is a wonderful Ethiopian coffee house, plus a few doors up an Ethiopian restaurant. Very hopeful of returning - thanks to Dunnzy and Jeff for creating such a modern, yet homey, space! Highly recommended
