This was my first time using Airbnb, and as anything else being done for the first time, I was a bit apprehensive. I had no idea what to do, or what to expect. When I arrived at Alex's space, all concerns went right out the window.
I went to DC with my girlfriend, and we couldn't be happier with Alex's space. It was just a short walk of two blocks to the Shaw/Howard Univ. metro-station which we conveniently used to navigate the city the entire duration of our trip.
Upon our arrival, Alex sent me a message asking to come down and introduce himself, and welcomed us to his home and the city. He gave us recommendations of places to eat, drink, visit, etc. He also assured us that he was available 24/7 for any issues that may arise.
The space was immaculately clean, and plenty large enough for two (best suited for a couple). There is a small sitting area, a beautiful fully furnished kitchen, bathroom with walk-in shower, and a bedroom with ample closet space.
The kitchen includes a refrigerator, oven/range, microwave, dishwasher, and even a Keurig! Included is also a washer/dryer for any laundry needs.
If/when I return to DC, there is absolutely no question that I will be checking this space to ensure it's availability for my return.
