Staying in Xiaozhen's home was one of the highlights of our DC vacation! The location in Georgetown is ideal: it's in a charming, quiet neighborhood, just a block away from the D6 bus line (which takes you right into the heart of the city). So after a busy day of sightseeing we just hopped on the bus and headed back to our little oasis.
As a host Xiaozhen was lovely about answering my messages quickly and accurately. (She even brought my daughter a nightlight when I asked for one at 8:30pm!) The whole process - from booking to checkout - was a pleasure.
I thought we knew exactly what to expect when we walked in the door, but we were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful parking space, fantastic air conditioning, incredibly comfortable bed, and abundant fresh towels in the dresser. The photos posted in the listing don't show how bright and spacious the apartment really is! The space was sparkling clean, renovated with quality materials, and clearly very well maintained between bookings.
(A quick note about the low ceiling height that a few other reviewers mentioned: At 5'-3" I was perfectly comfortable, but my husband at 5'-10" noticed it much more than I did. He was aware of it throughout the entire space, and even had to duck his head in the kitchen area and the shower. Happily it wasn't a big deal to him, and hopefully it won't be to you either!)
We will definitely visit DC again, and would love to stay at Xiaozhen's place in the future. Thank you!
