This property has been outfitted with rooftop solar panels. • We are a waste-conscious property and endeavor to eschew modern consumerism. We believe imperfect things that are still perfectly functional should not contribute to the landfill (i.e. bleach spots, fading, and light wear and tear). When a linen is stained or damaged significantly, we donate towels and sheets to the local Humane Society and offer remaining items to a few local homeless individuals who help distribute them to those in their community who need them. As we replace with new linens, we choose organic cotton and other natural fibers whenever possible so they they naturally decompose/biodegrade or can be burned. • We pride ourselves on being active members of the local Buy Nothing and Freecycle communities, giving new life and a new home to like new and lightly used items. • We provide cotton towels in place of paper towels in an effort to reduce hospitality waste. Guests are welcomed to purchase or bring their own. • SaltSugar Fire Hospitality offers compost collection service! Please notify us in advance if you'd like to participate. • All ash and spent charcoal from the fire pits and grills is collected (silver pail) and used to amend out garden soil every year, along with compost from our compost collection partner, Compost Crew. • All toiletries, toilet paper, and consumables are selected with their ecological impact in mind.

They know you are a guest and will keep it down if you ask them politely. They're also long time residents of DC and know a ton about the neighborhood and city if you have any questions.

NEIGHBORHOOD This property is located between Columbia Heights and Petworth, a vibrant and diverse neighborhood in the Northwest quadrant of the District. One of the city's most densely populated areas, it's home to a spectrum of residents ranging from the international embassies on 16th St to a long-time Hispanic community across the northern latitude, all interspersed with a mix of creatives and international professionals. You'll be steps away from restaurants and bars representing cultures from all across the globe and surrounded by an eclectic and lively community of urbanites. We expect our guests to conduct themselves with kindness, consideration, and respect and will not tolerate discrimination or hate speech. GETTING AROUND This listing does NOT include on premise parking. Weekday street parking in the neighborhood is predominately restricted from 7:30a - 8:30p for residents with parking permits or limited to 2 hours for unpermitted vehicles.

Guests must register for an account to request the pass online and print it. Please let us know in advance if you’ll have a vehicle. There are several unzoned stretches of street parking in the neighborhood. These spaces are first come first and may require an extra pass around the neighborhood to catch one but I drive to the property and rarely have trouble finding a spot within a block or two. You'll find a detailed parking map of the immediate area with color-coded description of where to find them in the printed Guest Book upon arrival. Larger vehicles may have a more difficult time since street parking is open (i.e. there are no space defining lines for parallel street parking in DC). There are a couple of lots and private spaces within 4-5 blocks available for a fee on SpotHero. Rates range from $15-$20/day. Search "Petworth Meditation Garden" and select your date and times for availability and exact pricing.

COVID protocols: • Guests must notify us if they feel ill or are diagnosed/test positive for the coronavirus or Monkeypox at any point leading up to checkin and for 2 weeks after checkout so that we can take the appropriate steps to protect our cleaning staff and future guests. • No parties, events, or gatherings. • Guests are not permitted to have unauthorized visitors (anyone not included on your original reservation or otherwise approved in advance by your hosts) on premise. • Number of guests listed in reservation must be updated and accurate prior to checkin. • We reserve the right to refuse, decline, or cancel bookings by guests who are local to the DMV, including those from guests who otherwise meet our booking requirements. • No pets. • Guests are not permitted upstairs, on the upper back deck, or in locked areas (these areas are not included with this rental). • Third party bookings are generally not permitted, except in specific circumstances (see Airbnb's third party reservation policy). If you are booking for someone else and will not be on site in person during the reservation, you must provide the name and phone number of the person you are booking for. The owner of the guest profile remains expressly responsible for the reservation and its guests. • The booking guest must be at at least 25 years of age. • In accordance with the DC noise ordinance, noise levels must be kept under 55 decibels (the level of a normal conversation) between the hours of 10pm and 7am seven days a week. If we have to respond to a noise complaint by a neighbor or by law enforcement, you may be fined and your group removed from the premises. • Vaping and smoking tobacco or marijuana (including bowls/bongs) are NOT permitted inside the house or anywhere on premises. Guests who violate this policy will be fined (see House Rules). Guests may only smoke 25 feet or more from the house and may not flick used butts into the yard or street or dispose of them inside the house (dispose of fully extinguished butts in the outdoor green municipal bin in the far back corner of the yard. In the District of Columbia, if you are over 21 years of age, you are legally allowed to smoke on private property, carry up to 2oz of cannabis on your person, and gift or donate (buying and selling is still illegal, as is smoking in public). • Be sure to clean up after yourself and be respectful of the space. Any extra charges incurred from the cleaning staff will be charged to you. • No confetti or glitter. • Beer pong is not permitted. • Guests may not remove the protective mattress and pillow encasements. These are for everyone's health and safety. • Guests may not alter, tamper with, or manually override the timer for the patio lights or extend their operation beyond the pre-set shut off time. • DC consistently makes it to the top of every list published for worst cities in the country for mosquitoes and bugs because it is built literally on top of swamp and marshland, is surrounded by water, and presents the perfect combination of hot weather and high humidity/heavy precipitation. We make every effort to minimize their impact on our guests and proactively treat the grounds but we cannot guarantee a pest-free experience, particularly in the warmer months. Mosquitoes, flies, and outdoor bugs are part of DC living and cannot be completely avoided or eradicated. Guests should keep doors and windows closed when not in use to prevent outdoor pests from entering the house. We provide a flyswatter to address those that manage to slip past those efforts. You must contact us if you see any signs of a pest infestation. • Do not send mail or packages to yourself at the Airbnb. Porch pirate package theft is a significant issue in DC and we cannot guarantee receipt. • If you leave an item at the house upon your departure, we are happy to mail it back to you for the cost of shipping plus an additional $10 fee. • Additional terms apply for stays longer than 14 nights. • Disclosure: we have exterior front, side, and rear facing Nest motion and noise sensing cameras with recording capabilities.

Let me know in your booking message how I can make your stay exceptional **subject to scheduling and product availability • Deep cleaning is not required but we ask some simple things of guests at checkout: load and start the dishwasher (even if it's just a few items), leave towels in the bathroom to prevent moisture damage on our brand new LVP floors, no need to strip the bed(s) - simply leave them unmade, collect your trash into the provided indoor bins, and make sure to turn off lights and appliances, and lock the door ACCESS • The basement apartment is accessed from the alley parking pad and the entrance is through sliding glass doors, not a street-facing standard exterior door. • The owners also use the parking pad and have their own entrance to the house from this space. • There is a door in the kitchen area that connects the Airbnb to the owner's storage area but this door is double locked while guests occupy the basement and neither side can access the other. • Guests will have access to all pictured areas, including the north side parking space. • There is one supply closet in the hallway that remains locked. INTERACTION • Jenna (your host) is available by text from 10:30am-2am for general questions and recommendations and by phone/text 24/7 for emergencies and urgent issues. She lives on the far east side of town so you're unlikely to meet/see her during your stay. • The owners live upstairs with their kids and are happy to say hi and chat should your paths cross but are otherwise a busy family and live their own life. If an urgent issue arises that requires in person attention, generally they will the ones to address it since they are so close. THINGS TO NOTE • There are no steps inside the apartment but the apartment is narrow so moving furniture inside to accommodate mobility issues is not feasible. • As part of our commitment to be environmentally conscientious, we do not provide paper towels. Guests are welcomed to purchase their own so you may find a leftover roll when you arrive. • For guests with allergies or sensitivities, we use lightly fragranced cleaners and air fresheners but have cleaning vinegar to accommodate fragrance and chemical sensitivities and can arrange to have linens washed with fragrance and dye free detergent. Please notify me of your allergies, preferably in your booking message but at least 48 hours in advance, so I can prepare the unit to accommodate your needs • Early checkin or luggage storage are not available at this property. Please do not loiter at the property if you arrive early as it will raise concerns with neighbors who may report strangers as suspicious. There are several luggage storage services available in DC; let me know if you'd like more information • No parties, events, "gatherings", or unauthorized visitors are allowed on the premises. If your visit is to celebrate a birthday or any special occasion, please let us know in your message, even if you do not plan to host it at the house. • For guests with allergies or sensitivities: We cannot guarantee the house will be appropriate for severe pet allergy sufferers. The duvets are down-filled and we use fragranced cleaners and mild air fresheners. We have down-alternative bedding and can accommodate fragrance sensitivities with at least 72 hours advance notice. PLEASE NOTIFY us of your allergies in your booking message to determine if we're able to accommodate your needs • As a basement apartment, guests will hear overhead noise including footsteps and muffled voices. The owner's son also plays the piano so you may occasionally hear his music filtering through. On Thursday, their housekeepers service the owner's space so there will be additional noice while they vacuum and move things around between 1pm-4pm. WHERE YOU'LL BE/NEIGHBORHOOD • WalkScore = 89! • Straddling Connecticut Avenue south of the National Zoo is a neighborhood of fine early 20th-century row houses, a throwback to the days more than a century ago when developers hoped that this wide avenue that runs northward to the Maryland border would be a boulevard lined with elegant homes. Modern-day Connecticut Avenue north of the small Woodley Park historic district, however, is now mostly filled with high rent, high rise apartment houses — although the city's height limitation restricts them to no more than eight stories, they are considered high-rise by Washington standards. • To the east, the neighborhood's curved streets overhang Rock Creek Park. On the west, they bend on the slope leading to the heights of Mt. Saint Albans, the site of Washington National Cathedral. The stately rows of meticulously designed houses are preserved intact, presenting streetscapes that have changed little for nearly a century. Though busy Connecticut Avenue is always just around the corner, the residential streets are leafy, green, and serene. The neighborhood provides access to several nature trails, including Rock Creek Park, Tregaron Conservancy, and Klingle Valley Trail. • The area was named after Woodley House, built by Philip Barton Key (the uncle of Francis Scott Key) in 1801. Woodley has housed many political elites from President Grover Cleveland to World War II Secretary of War Henry Stimson. Nowadays Woodley House serves as the library and administrative building of the Maret School. • The affluent Woodley Park neighborhood is the gateway to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. The Zoo sits at the southwest corner of Rock Creek Park, a 1750 acre registered Historic Urban Park tracing Rock Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River, and offers miles of multi-use trails, water powered grist mill, horse stables with equestrian trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, nature center, tennis center, and more. Adjoining neighborhoods are Cleveland Park to the north, Mount Pleasant and Adams Morgan to the east, Kalorama to the south, Woodland-Normanstone Terrace to the southwest, and Massachusetts Heights to the west. • The main strip of Connecticut Avenue offers a plethora of international eateries serving everything from curry to Cajun food and most recently, a locally owned and operated full service grocery store (Capital Grocer whose prices are reportedly comparable to big chains!). • The nearby historic landmark Omni Shoreham Hotel has appeared in movies, such as The Pelican Brief and No Way Out, hosted every presidential inaugural ball from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Barack Obama, and was a stop for The Beatles during their 1964 tour. • At the neighborhood's southern boundary lies the William Howard Taft Bridge, the only masonry bridge designed by noted engineer George S. Morison and the largest monolithic concrete bridge of its time. Constructed between 1897 and 1907, it represents the culmination of 19th-century bridge design, exemplifying the transition from utilitarian structures to artistic monuments. The 52-foot-wide bridge features sculpted lions molded of concrete and decorative cast-iron lampposts embellished with eagles. Although the roadway was widened and the walkways diminished in 1936, the overall form and appearance of the bridge have remained the same since its completion over a century ago. GETTING ROUND On premise parking is available for compact vehicles only and is a tight space to maneuver into. This will be a very challenging parking space if you are not well practiced at multi-point turns and parallel parking with minimal clearance. • 3 blocks walk to the Zoo entrance • 3 blocks walk to Woodley Park/Zoo/Adam's Morgan Metro Station • 3 blocks walk to Woodley Park restaurant row on Connecticut Ave • 4 blocks walk to Omni Shoreham Hotel & Conference Center • 4 blocks walk to St. Thomas Apostle Catholic Church • 5 minute drive into Rock Creek Park • 5-6 minute drive to Embassy Row (Switzerland, Lebanon, Panama, Finland, British, Italy, Denmark, New Zealnad, Sri Lanka, Nepal, India, Belize, Brazil, Oman, and more...) • 5-6 minute drive to the Islamic Center of Washington DC • 15 minute walk OR 5-6 minute drive to Adams Morgan night light and restaurants • 5-8 minute drive OR 10-15 minutes by Metro/Bus to Dupont Circle • 8-10 minute drive to Kennedy Center • 8-10 minute drive to Washington National Cathedral • 10-15 minute drive OR 30 minutes by Metro/Bus to National Mall (recommended to avoid parking hunting and costs) • 10 minute drive to Georgetown • 10-15 minute drive to White House • 15 minute drive to Georgetown University We offer SmartTrip cards on loan visitors during their stay in DC. Cards will occasionally have a balance left from the previous guest but can be reloaded/refilled at most metro station kiosks using a credit card. The Woodley Park/Zoo/Adams Morgan red line metro station is a 5 minute walk and will take you south to Dupont, downtown, the National Mall, all the way back up into Silver Spring, MD or north to the Tenleytown/American University station, Bethesda, MD, or further to Rockville, MD. The L2 bus line is a 3 minute walk to the corner and follows Connecticut Ave north/south between the Maryland border and Farragut Square just a block north of the White House. The 96 Bus is a block further and dissects the city diagonally from Tenleytown passing through/by McClean Gardens, 2 Amys, popular Adam's Morgan and U St Corridor, Shaw/Howard Theatre, Union Station, Lincoln Park, Stadium/Armory, RFK Stadium, and across the Anacostia River following the eastern midline of E. Capital St until the route ends at the easternmost point of DC on the Maryland border in Capital Heights. DIRECTIONS • Detailed instructions for getting to the apartment will be emailed to you the evening before you arrive (~6pm EST). If you need translation to another language, please let us know. • Note: we can only provide specific access information and details through the Airbnb inbox or to the phone number listed on the reservation for the guest who booked. The primary guest is responsible for disseminating information to the rest of the group. Adding all parties to the reservation by inviting them in "Trips -> Reservation Details -> Manage Guests" will, once they have accepted and signed in, connect their Airbnb accounts to the reservation and provide them access to the inbox and listing details.
