I do AirBnB exactly for places like this one. I don’t want cookie-cutter, Potemkin villages. I want to experience the city and area that I am visiting. And this places offers the real DC. Not scary, but real.
Of course the apartment looks just like the pics and all the amenities are there. Of course it’s easy to get there and getting inside. Of course I feel right at home when I’m there. Emily is a súper host. So no surprise that the AirBnB algorithm got me just what I wanted.
What I wasn’t expecting, and why I am so happy to have stayed here is this:
I was forced by chance to stay at Emily’s place as my home was flooded. I picked this listing as it was near to both my home & work. But Emily’s tips on the area inspired me to go exploring by foot; that’s where this turned into a real adventure for me. Lots to do! Odd Provisions for vittles, walking to my yoga studio a
& soccer pickup games at fields nearby. Plus lots of cool restaurants and charming neighborhood streets! Loved it!
