Cathy and Bruce are awesome hosts! They're were very helpful, accommodating and generous but never intrusive. Cathy and Bruce provided a lot of insider tips about getting around town and things to see both on the "must do" list and off the beaten path.
Their apartment is conveniently located, close to the Capitol building, in a quiet and friendly part of town which we felt quite safe walking around at night. If you are adventurous you could certainly walk just about anywhere on the Mall though we chose the Metro or Capitol Bikeshare which are both close by. If you are driving, as we did, parking was easy either on the street (with a parking pass they provided) or in their spot behind the house. The apartment is comfortably furnished with most any amenity you need, more than enough to sustain us through our 7 day stay.
As our first Airbnb experience we hit a home run with Cathy and Bruce! I'm confident you'll have an equally wonderful experience.
