This AirBnB was my first ever and it was perfect. I needed something close to the Library of Congress, which was just a 10-minute walk. The host's charming 19th century townhouse is a few blocks from Pennsylvania Ave which has bus lines that will take you to the National Gallery and the Wash DC NW. (Download the tickets on Apple Wallet.) My room was small, no frills, but just what I needed. My bthroom/shwer one door down; no one else used it. In the room, there's a a microwave, small fridge, and basic dishes to make yourself a quick breakfast or hot beverage. I didn't bother, as there are plenty of great diners and cafes nearby. The host is on premise and very helpful and knowledgeable about the city. She is kind, witty, and attentive -- and a great resource. I'll be going back.
