We enjoyed our stay- the location was fantastic with proximity to the metro and great restaurants. Neighborhood felt safe. We primarily chose to use air b&b because we were driving in and hotel parking was extremely expensive. Unit includes a visitor permit; however for the duration of our stay we were not able to receive this. I emphasized the need for parking permit prior to arrival but it was not present when we arrived. I reached out to the host who said the system was down. Communication was not working through airbnb and had to send everything by text (where host was generally responsive). Ultimately sent multiple messages throughout our trip and no parking pass was ever provided. This may be out of their control but more proactive communication would have helped a lot. Host assured me that they would not ticket because system was down- but several other DC locals I spoke to disagreed. We otherwise loved the location- just be aware that easy parking may or may not work out.
