This was our first Airbnb experience, and thanks to Jason and Sandi, it did not disappoint.

The flat was "as advertised". Not only was it clean and welcoming, but was already stocked with much of what we needed for our 5 days: towels, dishes, soaps, washer/dryer. We walked to the Giant food store and picked up breakfast items (the only meal we made in the kitchen since we were out in the city most of the time). Jason & Sandi also provided a great pamphlet with lots of great information about the area as well as two Metro cards.

Shaw itself was really charming. It was obvious that this was an area on the rebound, but we never felt unsafe. The Metro station was just a short walk away and got us to the mall in a few short minutes. We didn't eat in the area but once, but it was fantastic... I highly recommend Red Toque Cafe (which is also walking distance) --http://www.redtoquecafedc.com.

Jason and Sandi were great hosts and I'll be recommending their beautiful flat to anyone I know who will be visiting DC soon.
