This was my first AirBNB attempt and based off of this experience I will certainly be booking again with this service, and with Kim (if she has the availability!).

Her description of her space and instructions getting to it and in were spot on. I didn't use some of the amenities provided (t.v., coffee maker), but the room had everything I needed. The internet worked flawlessly. The hair dryer meant I could have more luggage space. There were plenty of towels and blankets. It is a basement apartment and given it was February when I stayed, I was worried whether or not it would be warm enough. Even after being out of the room for over 10 hours the space did heat up quickly (as it really didn't get too chilled). I had no problem staying warm through the night. This space would probably be very cool in the summer, a nice bonus given the DC heat and humidity.

I have to mention that I was in town during a big snow event that shut down the city and was checking out that day. Kim had a path shoveled early in the day which was great as it made hauling luggage easier. I was also extremely thankful that she lived within a short walk of the Metro as it would have been close to impossible to access the downtown area otherwise. Only snow plows were on the streets.

Kim was a fantastic host! She made herself easily available for any questions or issues and her detailed instructions were very easy to follow. I was glad we were able to have coffee before I left and talk snowstorms, networking (it's DC!), and travel.
