If there is an "ideal" Airbnb.com place, this would come very close to being "it" ! Located in one of the nicest, but very relaxed, neighborhoods in NW Washington, DC - this was Shangri-la!! I arrived exhausted and immediately felt refreshed. Teresa's charming garden, lit with fairy lights welcomes friends and neighbors ... the basement flat was lovingly renovated by Teresa and she has thought of every detail to nurture her guests. I have noticed that the best Airbnb hosts are those who put themselves in the travelers shoes and see every detail from the weary traveler's eyes, thus ensuring a very positive experience. This Teresa has done. A comfy, snug environment - yet free of clutter. Traditional - yet modern. The bed was so comfortable that I slept better there than I had in a long time! For the individual, couple or family, this place would work very well indeed. Close to the Washington National Cathedral, and within easy walking distance to Whole Foods and a CVS store and plenty of other shops in Upper Georgetown. Teresa and Reid are gracious charming hosts and I actually cried when I left their care ... I wanted to move in!!!
