Jonathan's house was probably one of the very best Airbnb places we've stayed. The street was very quiet. No earplugs needed ! :-) We had a car and with the parking permit there was no problem finding a place to park on the street. As it was very hot and humid in Washington, we really appreciated the air conditoning being on when we arrived. It felt wonderful walking iinside. The house was very well furnishedand the kitchen had a lot of supplies--unusual coffees and teas, spices, oil, hand sanitizer, etc. The downstairs is very spacious and light-filled and so is the master bedroom. The two other bedrooms are smaller but quite adequate and there is lots of closet space. The washer and dryer are great. We had 8 people for one night and the hide-a-bed in the living room was quite comfortable for them.

The Giant Supermarket is indeed very close and is HUGE with a great selection and good prices. The Shaw-Howard Metro stop is a five minute walk and there is a direct line to the Reagan Washington airport. If you fly in to that airport, don't bother with a taxi. The Metro is right there and it is only a few stops to the Shaw-Howard stop. The Metro is fantastic and puts the New York subway to shame.
