David was a wonderful and responsive host, and his place was so clean and beautifully decorated. We loved our stay at his place, and would definitely stay again if we were to return to DC. Without a doubt one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in.
The townhome is exactly as described in the listing - lovely decor, very roomy, and abundant clean linens and towels. David was an amazing host, willing to accommodate our requests for early check-in and late check-out, and very kind throughout. Even his upstairs neighbor was so nice (we borrowed a corkscrew) and as an added bonus, we got to meet her dog, an adorable good boy named True.
The townhome is a 10-15 walk from the subway station, and we were easily able to use the DC metro to get around from his place. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and peaceful as well. Unlike a hotel, you don't have to deal with crowded elevators, dirty public spaces, and hearing every one of your fellow visitor's words and every movement of traffic outside.
If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable, affordable place to rest after a long day of touring the city, this is the place to be!!
Note: Some readers might see that the neighborhood is Anacostia and be concerned about safety, so I'll mention that briefly. Yes, the Airbnb is located in a majority black neighborhood and is not as highly developed as the wealthier neighborhoods in downtown DC. Do not stay here if that would make you uncomfortable.
However, let me assure you that the rumors are exaggerated and the neighborhood is lovely and perfectly safe. We stayed at David's as two petite, young Asian-American women in our mid-20's, and nobody bothered us. We regularly walked to and from the metro station, often coming back around 11 PM/midnight, and everyone we encountered throughout was polite and friendly. So don't hesitate, and book David's place for your next trip to DC!
