Chris is a top-notch host and his place is exactly as advertised—hence all the spot-on positive reviews here. My week-long stay in D.C. was my first time in the city and Chris went out of his way to offer advice and help me navigate the area—but was never pushy. This is a place where you can have total privacy when you want it but Chris and other guests are around if you're feeling social. The Wi-Fi is excellent, the kitchen is kept clean, and there is the right balance of private space and common space. If you have a car, parking can be tricky but I always managed to find a spot no more than 1 block away. Public transportation is very convenient here, so if you don't need a car for other reasons, you definitely won't need one to stay at Chris' place. I give it ten stars! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
