Yes, it is just like the pictures!
We stayed for a week to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Jason and Cade exceeded our expectations. The apartment was meticulously clean and thoughtfully organized so that we may have only asked one question about the TV (the previous guests had left their Netflix account signed in) during our entire stay, and they responded quickly. Check-in and check-out were automated and easy to use on our phones, and Jason kindly sent me a backup code just in case.
There was a well-detailed house guide with instructions on all appliances and technology in the apartment. It also included recommendations for dining, attractions, and local services. They also left guides in the kitchen for the water filters, recycling, stove, and Nespresso machine.
My main concern was the logistics of getting around DC, but Jason helped up set up parking, so we left our car in the same parking spot and used Lyft, the Metro, scooters, and plain old walking to get around, allowing us to get a much better glimpse of DC life than we've had in our previous stays in DC hotels. Everything we needed was within a 10–15-minute walk on average.
This was my first Airbnb stay, and I couldn't be happier with the hosts or apartment.
