My husband, mother, four year old son, one year old daughter, and I stayed in Marina's home in July. We were quite pleased with our stay. The home was beautiful and Marina was an attentive host who went above and beyond our expectations. For example, since we expected to be exhausted after traveling all day and given that we were scheduled to arrive in the middle of the night when most grocery stores were closed, Marina went to the grocery store in advance and had milk for us and the baby waiting in the refrigerator when we arrived. We also appreciated the fresh bouquet of flowers in the kitchen. In addition, Marina set up a crib in the master suite. What a relief not to have to haul a pack-n-play across the country. We were further impressed that the crib was an actual crib - in mint condition, no less - not a travel crib (the crib is akin to a DaVinci Emily Convertible Mini Crib). Marina even had a food processor, a chef's knife, a cutting board, and a other typical kitchen supplies on hand so that we were able to prepare fresh sandwiches and homemade baby food. We rather enjoyed the quiet, leafy, conveniently located neighborhood (a short drive to Target and other stores with lots of restaurants that deliver or do takeout nearby (we enjoyed Beau Thai and Dukem Ethiopian)). We felt safe there, and enjoyed walking to the Smithsonian National Zoo, which has free admission (a 5-10 minute stroll). Marina provided us with a guest parking permit, so parking was a breeze. We usually found a spot right in front of the house. We also appreciated that the wifi, once set up, worked consistently (even despite a thunderstorm). We really appreciated that Marina was consistently so responsive - although we did not meet her in person (I get the impression that she did not want to intrude and wanted us to feel at home), she usually responded to our texts and emails within an hour or two, called to be sure that everything was going well, and brought items by as needed within hours. This was actually our first time using AirBNB, so we were not sure what to expect and felt as though we were taking a bit of a leap of faith booking a place without any reviews. However, we were so pleased with our experience and with our stay and would gladly stay here again. Thanks Marina!
