Before the Stay: From the moment that I first reached out to David to express my interests about his place he was very responsive and responded very quickly to all of my questions and concerns that I had. I was going to D.C. for the very first time for a birthday weekend and he provided many tips and recommendations that I definitely took him up on!
During the Stay: We reached out to David before we had arrived and expressed that we were interested in checking in a bit earlier. He was generous enough to allow us to do so, even on short notice. When we entered the apartment everything was spotless, he had refreshments in the fridge, and throughout the apartment he had little notes that contained helpful instructions and tips on what to do or how to use different things such as adjusting the temperature in the bath, recycling, television, etc. Whenever I had any questions, once again, David was responsive and always there if we needed anything. The home was very beautiful, stylish, and modern! There were many items them to make your stay comfortable and stress free. I have to say, this was the best airbnb I've stayed it. Everything was well thought out!
The location of the apartment is basically in the heart of D.C.! We were able to walk to popular landmarks. Everything was pretty closely to the apartment. There were many restaurants, supermarkets (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, etc), and pharmacies within two minutes walking. Check out Jeni's Ice Cream on the corner, I highly recommend it (ate there three times in two days - don't ask..)
From the communication with the host to the comfort of my stay due to David's thoughtfulness, this really made the trip amazing in every aspect and I just felt like I could relax and have a good time. I truly did not want to go home - I considered asking David how much he'd charge for a monthly stay. Would recommend you stay here, you won't regret it! :)
