This host goes above and beyond to make everything about the stay the best it can be. She compiled a binder explaining walking distance food options and other helpful info, she left warm socks in case our feet got cold, coffee was provided, reusable metro cards were inside, she got us a parking permit and she was SUPER responsive even at the early and late hours I asked questions. Karen is the type of host who makes airbnb such a special option, and this is place is located in a picturesque neighborhood super close to the metro and capitol. As someone who is from a small town the south and has never spent time in a large city before, this host really made everything easy to figure out, and the airbnb itself was top notch with regards to cleanliness and coziness. I give this place my highest recommendation!
Note to those not from a city: On this trip, I learned not to park in front of alleyways :) Find any legal street parking not blocking an alley or emergency vehicle spot and you should be good!
