Excellent location for walking or biking to DC, fun lively neighborhood that felt safe to walk at night, spacious and clean space, very friendly and hospitable host! A few things to keep in mind:
1. This is a busy city neighborhood with active nightlife, so you may want to bring earplugs or a sound machine if you aren’t used to hearing city noise throughout the night
2. This space is best suited for people who are related to each other or are comfortable sharing the one bed. The only other option is sleeping on the couch or bringing your own sleeping bag or mattress as there is plenty of space for 4 people but not the beds for them.
3. The host is very helpful and stays right downstairs if you need anything, but keep in mind that the kitchen and living area are also used by the host when guests aren’t staying, so it’s not really a good space to spread out and cook your own meals as the cabinets and refrigerator are pretty full. There is a toaster and microwave and Mila is so kind as to offer to make breakfast in the space for you if desired.
4. Parking is actually quite easy to find and Mila is very helpful in explaining the best streets to find parking,- keep in mind that you may have to circle a bit and keep an eye on the street signs as there is street cleaning on certain days.
We loved being able to feel like a local and explore the city on foot and by bike-Mila has some great tips for getting around the city and it was so nice to be able to just park the car in her neighborhood and not have to think about it again since parking in the city can be such a pain! Mila’s tips for using city bike share was much appreciated-so affordable and easy to use and there are bike lanes and bicyclists everywhere, so it’s a perfect city for biking even if you aren’t normally a city biker. Thanks for a fun experience, Mila!
