The house is in a very good location, near a lot of restaurants and convenience stores, but still in a not so busy area so it’s pretty quiet. The communication with the host is 100%. It is truly comforting to know that any little problem they can help you within 10 minutes. Additionally the space is so well furnished and stylish, it really looks fresh and homey. Will definitely be returning to this home if ever in dc.. highly recommend! (The only thing we did not really love was the lock on the front door, it is just one singular lock with no knob, just a bit unusual. But the neighborhood seemed more than safe, so we did not feel any worry about leaving our important things in the house)
