From the minute we arrived at the Baltimore airport, Paulette was waiting to drive us to her home for a wonderful inaugural experience in the "guest nest." Both Larry and Paulette were welcoming and went out of their way to provide us with everything we needed to enjoy our stay in DC. They cooked a wonderful breakfast each morning based upon what we had requested, drove us to so many different locations in DC (which was not easy with all the closed streets for security). They recommended local restaurants which all seemed exceptional and we enjoyed a great Nepalese Indian meal in the Takoma Park area. Paulette was very helpful with directions within the DC area, subway connections, and the goodies in our room with fresh flowers made us feel special. The bed was very comfortable and the private bathroom was equipped with anything you would need. Their place is not in the heart of DC but if you want a quiet nights sleep, it is perfect. Downtown DC is easily reached with a 10 minute metro ride. Thanks for a great first airbnb experience. Shelly and Marc
