Carla and Giuseppe were extremely empathetic, responsive and supportive hosts.
We really enjoyed our stay in their unique and cozy apartment with two bedrooms with two double beds, a living/dining area/games room and a bathroom. There is no separate kitchen, but there is a microwave, fridge, dishes and silverware, which was ample for our four-night stay.
I loved the "treehouse" charm (it's up high with a pretty balcony, surrounded by trees and plants), and they have wonderfully eclectic taste in books and art.
The location is on the red line and just a few stops from the center of DC. The Cleveland Park stop boasts numerous restaurants and stores, such as a CVS pharmacy, a supermarket and an organic food store, all within a 15-minute walk. This apartment also has a separate parking space right outside, which is wonderfully convenient.
Carla kindly provided us with useful sightseeing suggestions, as well as metro cards from the last visitors, which we then topped up for the next people when we left. Most places are accessible by metro, but you might want to get an Uber for more out of the way locations such as Georgetown, though we took the metro to Foggy Bottom and walked the rest of the way when we took the tour there.
When my mother fell and hurt herself while sightseeing, Carla went above and beyond to ensure she was okay, and brought us down ice packs to borrow (the family lives above). As other reviewers have mentioned, you can hear some noise of the family, but that didn't really bother me.
It was my first time using Airbnb, and I definitely will again thanks to this very positive experience. Our hosts really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and settled in.
Thank you very much, Carla and Giuseppe!
