My stay at the beautiful home of Jerry and Alice was my first AirBnB experience, and it could not have been better. It felt so much like home (or like staying at a dear relative’s) that I almost felt sad to leave! The interior is a large. quiet and private 1-bedroom apartment, full of character with charming, unexpected touches. There is a stone fireplace in the bedroom, surrounded by antique reclaimed wood on that wall. Also in the bedroom is a door to the private garden, a chair and large desk with a desktop PC, a good-size clothes closet (with an ironing board and iron, plenty of hangers, and extra linens, but otherwise empty for your things), and a kitchen nook that can be hidden behind blinds. The living room is large and very cozy, with everything you could possibly need. The entire apartment is filled with a collection of fascinating books, as well as a great CD collection of music and movies. The TV and cable access was great, and there is a booster for the modem to make sure that WiFi access is stable throughout the apartment. The bathroom was absolutely spotless and the towels were plentiful and of wonderful quality. The apartment is perfectly situated within the heart of gorgeous residential Georgetown, just half a block from the shopping and restaurants on Wisconsin Avenue, and an extended block north of M Street, which is chock full of great boutiques and restaurants as well. The location is also ideal for getting into the downtown DC area since it is far enough east to bypass all the notorious Georgetown traffic. The apartment is in the DC “English basement” style, meaning that it is the bottom floor of a row house, with its own front door. There are a few steps to get down to the front door, but even though I am a weakling I had no trouble lifting my 50-pound (yes!) suitcase up the stairs when leaving (Jerry very kindly helped me with my suitcase when I arrived). Jerry was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive communicating before, during and after my stay. He is the perfect host and has a sixth sense when it comes to knowing what guests want. I met Alice on my last day, and she is also delightful. I cannot recommend this apartment, and Jerry and Alice as hosts, more highly!!
