People remember how you make them feel.
Warm yet detailed pre-arrival info + personalized welcome amenity upon arrival + thoughtfully appointed bath amenities made me feel appreciated yet at home. BTW, that can be a challenge when you have guests like me who travel often, have worked in the hotel/service industry for over 20 years AND currently teach hospitality and tourism. We can be hotel snobs! LOL Yet my snobbish behavior was offset by the surprises and delights offered here.
Some features, I didn't even use (WiFi, kitchen, TV) so I cannot speak to that but I CAN SAY the walk to U Street can't be beat! Being able to bop over to the African American Civil War Museum then casually walk over to Busboys and Poets for lunch and shop & sip along 14th Street makes this location PERFECT for travelers who wish to ditch the car and actually taste and see DC life.
There were even 2 Metro cards available -- that was VERY THOUGHTFUL! So, again, you could ABSOLUTELY FORGET ABOUT DRIVING, if you wanted. There seems to be decent street parking if you are driving. Just beware of DC's parking restrictions.
Even with all the urban options just steps away, this residence provides such an understated hideaway feel that you'd also enjoy staying inside, ordering UberEats and listening to the birds chirping from the privacy hedges outside your window.
THANK YOU GENNET for making this first AIRBNB stay one to remember!
