Arriving in Washington DC, it was immediately apparent that there were some safe, and non safe areas to stay. We were so delighted that we found our airbnb was located in one of the nicest and safest areas in the city. Lighting inside and especially outside (by the front stairs) was awesome. The front garden was blooming and beautiful. The street made for a wonderful stroll just to look at the beautiful architecture. The inside was very clean. The floor plan gave us everything we needed for a group of four, including a washer/dryer. It was a wonderful experience to stay in such a historic neighborhood home. We loved having a separate air unit in each room. Our hosts had timely and accurate communication that helped us during our entire stay. We would have been overwhelmed by the city if it wasn't for their guidance. We used the metro cards they provide for us most of the time. Because we were located so close to Union Street metro, it made it easy to get everywhere we wanted in DC, Alexandria, Georgetown, Arlington, and Mount Vernon. We used uber some but found taxi was cheaper. We loved finding a full picture of ice cold water and some snacks upon our late night arrival. There were nice little notes everywhere in the unit. In addition to the local restaurants our host recommended, we found Old Ebbitt Grill was the star of Washington DC restaurant experience. Drinks at Harrys were great. And when in Alexandria, we loved Gadsby's Tavern. We will definitely book this airbnb again in the future, when we return to DC.
