Short story: Amazing! These are friendly, generous, wonderful people who I would love to stay with again.

Long story: Denise had offered to pick me up from the bus station when I arrived but was unable to so, instead of letting me find my own way there, she sent her very sweet friend Glen to pick me up. He took me to the grocery store so I could get some dinner in and helped me settle in to Denise's place. The apartment is lovely, full of souvenirs from all over, Denise has lead a very interesting life! It's quiet and the room is out of the way so you get lots of privacy. This was only my second time staying at an airbnb location and having had a pretty horrible experience for my first in NYC, I was anxious about how this was going to turn out. But Denise and Pete were so lovely. Denise took me shopping for clothes and treated me to a meal out!!! I got sick and she took care of me!!! They drove me pretty much to wherever I needed to go and for all this I will be eternally grateful. Denise did not 'have' to do all of this for me, but she is the sort of person who will do everything she can to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Denise's place doesn't score well for location as its a but of a way out of the centre (about 10-15mins drive) but the local public transport is excellent and runs pretty much 24hours. Plus if you're happy to ride in with them in the morning and home with them at around 4.30-5ish then they are happy to take you. They work right next to the national mall!!!

There is so much more I could say about these guys but in a nutshell; they are friendly, intelligent, generous people who love to help others. They are chatty but very respectful of space. The apartment is clean and tidy (and they have a cute kitty), quiet and private. The bed is sooooo comfy and the room large but cozy. There's nothing more that they could have done for me. We shared meals together and talked for hours. It was like staying with friends.

Hope to see you guys soon!!!
