As a former DC resident (almost 10 years) I can say that this place is, without a doubt, one of the best bargains I’ve found on AirBnB. The location is perfect (walking distance to bars, restaurants, coffee shops, etc) but the parking was easy (no small feat in DC).
The place itself was exactly as described and quieter than most apartment situations I’ve encountered in DC. (I stayed on NYE and the only noise was from 12:00 - 12:20. I was prepared for all night partying and was very pleasantly surprised since my plans fell through and I stayed in all night.)
The best part of my stay by far was Ben. He was such a helpful and communicative host, especially when it came to the parking situation (I know first hand how annoying it is to get guest parking in DC). He provided the parking pass well in advance of my stay and that was so helpful. Otherwise, everything else was just better than I’ve come to expect from AirBnBs - the bed was comfy, the kitchen was well stocked, the heat worked well, etc.
I hope I can stay at Ben’s the next time I’m in DC, but I won’t be surprised if this gem is fully booked from here on out.
