Hello!
Overall: GREAT experience. We didn’t have any complaints!
Reason for DC visit: Parent/Guardian following school trip to DC
Comfort and Cleanliness: VERY clean and VERY comfortable. This apartment was cleaner and more comfortable than any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. It felt like we were staying with a family member.
After long days out walking and touring, the comfortable beds were like going into the “sunken place.”
AirBnb Experience: This was our first AirBnb experience. We selected this rental based upon the reviews. Every positive comment was spot on. The apartment was super CLEAN and spacious. We also selected this apartment since it had two separate bedrooms (it was enough space so that my sister and I had a lot of privacy).
Safety: We felt very safe. Initially, I was nervous with this being my first rental...there were no concerns once we received the detailed check in instructions. There are internal stairs that lead to the upstairs home of the host - the host guaranteed the door would remain locked at all times.
We saw the host once out of the five days, a brief friendly encounter as we were waiting on our Uber ride.
There were also a lot of neighbors out walking/walking dogs.
Food/Grocery: We tried one local restaurant, Po Boy Jim’s, which we enjoyed. We had groceries delivered from Giant grocery store via Peapod (Peapod was okay, delivery came much later than what we expected, a little more expensive than expected - we received everything we ordered).
Transportation: We chose to use Uber. Since we were following a school schedule for my nephew’s class trip...it was more convenient for us to use the Uber service. We did not attempt to ride city transportation. We were 15 min from Frederick Douglas House, approximately 20 min from the monuments and The National Mall. The cost of Uber rides was more expensive during rush hour times.
Airport: We flew into Dulles International Airport. The distance to/from the apartment without traffic was about 45 minutes...with traffic 1.5 hours
Response time from host: Responses were always quick and helpful
Would I stay again: Definitely
All of the previous reviews were instrumental in us selecting this apartment. I hope this review helps with your selection and that you enjoy your time in DC just as much as we did.
Thank you, Chetan and Aysha, for the wonderful accommodations!
