One of the best places we've ever visited with Airbnb or any other platform!
Overall: the place was immaculately clean, located next to everything in Capitol Hill and the house was huge with tons of amenities! Nicole and her team were very responsive and we loved that the owner provided recommendations on things to do and places to eat in the neighborhood.
More on the specifics:
* Location: the house was ideally located for our group's needs. We walked almost everywhere, since it's so close to the U.S. Capitol, the Union Market / H Street area and Eastern Market. When we did go a bit further, we just took the metro from Union Station (which is just a few blocks away)
* House: the place is huge and we were surprised with each new room or space we found. The bottom level is a full suite with a kitchen, which was perfect for one of the families with us. There's a gym and a bunch of games down there too. The top two levels are bedrooms and bathrooms. All big and sunny and comfortable, though we did have to draw straws for the crazy big master suite on the top floor. We spent most of our time as a group on the main floor, which has a big open kitchen and two separate seating areas.
*The ROOF: we knew there was a rooftop deck, but did not realize it would basically be a whole additional level to the house! Luckily, the weather was great, so we spent a bunch of time hanging on the roof and ate most of our meals outside. There's even a wet-bar and grill, so we didn't need to go far to enjoy a full day outside. Also....the rooftop is a MUST for sunrises and sunsets and views of the city!
*Amenities: the house has basically everything you'd need for a stay - great bedding, towels, toiletries, dishware, cooking stuff, etc. There's a Whole Foods just a few blocks away, so we cooked half the time and ate out (mostly at the H Street restaurants) the rest of the time. Also, our group really appreciated all of the games and books everywhere. We didn't spend much time using the exercise equipment or hanging out in the backyard, but I could definitely see how that's a huge plus in the city.
Again, we loved this house and look forward to staying again soon!
