The host was very responsive (less than 24 hours) and clearly has experience providing a comfortable, cool, and spacious home for guests. We were very pleased with how accurately the pictures portrayed the home (everything was spot on). We really appreciated Matthew's attention to detail in providing us with an enjoyable stay. The home felt incredibly clean, private, safe, well taken care of (appliances and furniture all in excellent condition), and very welcoming and accommodating for large groups. There was more than enough space inside (spacious kitchen, dining area, living room) for our group, in addition to the roomy front yard which we also enjoyed. The location is central and not far from nearby neighborhoods and the Metro. One minor note is its proximity to a busy street. Street parking was not troublesome--just keep in mind days of the week for street sweeping.
