John and Manuel are the best air bnb hosts we've ever had, and their place the most beautiful we've ever stayed. Check in was easy with great communication and keypad entry. The basement is decorated really tastefully and is a home from home and impeccably clean. There is access to netflix to kick back and relax after a long day of exploring beautiful DC. The place isn't on the doorstep of the monuments, but why would you want to be? It's a manageable walk or subway ride, and the hosts provide bikes if that's more your style - a lovely touch. The immediate area is really nice and safe, and there is a massive choice of coffee shops, wine bars, restaurants. Our stay though, was made special by John and Manuel's hospitality. Two of the nicest people you could meet. They left us to it but were there as much or as little as needed. We'd return in a heartbeat.
