This was our first adventure with Airbnb and we booked Marcy’s apartment (Patio with wonderful apartment) for 6 nights from the 24th to 30th August 2015.

Marcy is a wonderful host with a lovely apartment located in a great area that is very safe and quite but still close to lots of good Restaurants and Bars.

Marcy was extremely helpful from our very first enquiry right through to printing our boarding cards for us for our return flights. She invited us up to her beautiful gallery home and was very informative about the history of the area as well as suggesting things to do and places to visit in DC

The apartment was a perfect size of the two of us with the added bonus of a nice size private patio off the kitchen area. It is well equipped and spotlessly clean. It is well decorated and has wonderful original art work from the artist Robert E. Kuhn on every wall.

Swann Street and its surrounding area is lovely, very safe both night and day (Which was our number one priority) and within 10 minutes’ walk to the metro. There are a number of good Restaurants and Bars just around the corner from the apartment and a 10 minute stroll with bring you to 14th Street where you can find Trader Joes (great place for grocery shopping) and loads more places to eat and drink. Our favourite place to drink was Rebellion, just around the corner from the apartment and to eat was Matchbox on 14th Street.

We had a great time in Washington and when we return Marcy’s apartment will be the first place we would look to stay in and would highly recommend it.
