Shaun was really busy with work and travels quite a bit, so we didn’t get to see him until the last night we were there. But he was so hospitable and nice to chat with that it wasn’t difficult to feel at home! He is definitely a very experienced host and would entrust us to use his kitchen for cooking. His place was beautiful and very stylish. Although some of the furniture and bed frame was older, it didn’t bother our stay at all. His area is also very near the Smithsonian museums and Chinatown, so getting a Lyft or Uber was not expensive. Bus and train are also very convenient from his place, but you need to set aside time to figure it out. We definitely felt safe in his neighbourhood and his home was truly worth how much we had spent!
