Melissa was a great host! It was my husband and I first visit to Washington DC and we were a little nervous about doing an airbnb instead of a hotel but we are so glad we went this route. Melissa has a beautiful updated, modern apartment downstairs from here home were she went above and beyond to welcome us for the week. She kept an open communication from the beginning of the stay to the end. Although our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until 1a the check in was simple. The apartment was very clean smelt great and decorated so cute. The pictures on airbnb matched exactly. What you see is what you get. Melissa went above and beyond to accommodate us, she even added a fridge full of waters/snacks and a kurieg with coffee and creamers for week. The bed was super comfy we loved our down comforters. One thing that Melissa does mention and to take into consideration is the apartment is on the lower level and just like any other apartment you can hear foot steps and dogs.
The location is not to bad we called an uber every day to take us to the main downtown in order to see the main tourist attractions. There are few places (restaurants, bars and whole foods) not to far from apartment. H street is the closest.
Prior to going to DC Melissa contacted us and gave us multiple restaurant suggestions which was very nice and helpful.
My husband and I had a busy yet unforgettable week in DC with gorgeous weather and made so many memories. Thanks to Melissa's home we were able to afford it. We definitely would suggest this airbnb:)
