K.A. is a phenomenal host! I absolutely recommend checking this place out for your stay in DC. I stayed for ten weeks this summer during an internship and this place really was a home away from home. The room I stayed in was quite spacious by DC standards with a comfy bed, private bathroom, and large closet. There are at least two guest units at K.A.’s place, though, and I stayed in the upstairs one and do not know what the downstairs unit(s) are like. But, I would be venture to say they are just as nice! There is a shared kitchen area with plenty of pots, pans, etc. for cooking and K.A. is very accommodating in making sure you have enough cabinet, pantry, and fridge space. She is also great at checking in periodically during the stay to ensuring you have everything you need and remedy any issues. Despite having three people staying in K.A.’s place this summer, there were hardly any issues with having time when the kitchen is open for cooking or washer/dryer are available. Again K.A. does a great job in accommodating you and making sure you have the time and space needed to use these shared spaces and utilities. For those traveling to sightsee in DC getting to the National Mall and Smithsonians by public transit requires you to take the bus to Anacosta station and metro from there. It is an easy process but in total will take about an hour each way of travel. This was easily one of the best AirBnB experiences I have had! I really enjoyed my stay and think you would too :)
