Stay at Trish's place in Woodley park is everything a business traveler and/or conference attendee would be looking for. We had the Psychotherapy Networker conference at the Omni Shoreham and this was a great way to stay away from the crowd but remain close by. It's easily a 5-minute walk to the hotel, but we're from Miami and it was cold, lol. So we took often took an Uber to get around (literally, a 2-minute ride).
The apartment has all the amenities you'd need for a good conference stay - reliable and fast wifi, a table to spread out when you're working on spreadsheets and notes, and great lighting (and I mean GREAT lighting). I stayed with a friend - so she took the queen bed in the room (which is squishier/softer than what I'm used to- but she loves) and I took the pull-out sofa bed in the living room (which is by the TV - great channel selection). The pull-out bed was surprisingly comfortable, a little noisy as beds that are metal typically are, but the mattress was excellent and the firmness was on point. Comforters and pillows were natural down and all sheets were very clean. The apartment has two heaters that are controlled by a thermostat on the wall- great for when your conference buddy and you like different temperatures for sleeping. Trish also provides a wide array of coffee grains and ways to make coffee (e.g., regular coffee maker, french press, stovetop, etc.) and even gave us a bottle of wine! The full-sized kitchen was helpful for reheating leftovers and making the most out of our one grocery run. A couple of streets down and you're on a street filled with great restaurants and another couple of streets the other way and you're on Embassy Row (beautiful street to take a nice stroll down, has embassies from all over the world). The bathroom was spacious and clean, the shower had amazing pressure, and the water was nice and hot. Towels were a sweet surprise, too, as they are full bath sheets :) (and I swear by washcloths, so having those on hand were a plus). When we arrived, Trish explained the dryer had just broken down, but since we were there a short time, we didn't need it. If you plan to use it, just a heads up to ask if it's operational already.
Trish achieved the perfect level of attentiveness - checking on us and at the same time giving us more than enough privacy. As soon as you meet her and she shows you the place, you feel like you're home! And the price, while not the cheapest Airbnb I've stayed at, is well below what the cost of the conference and nearby hotels would have been. We saved almost half of the money by doing Airbnb this year! And plan to be back again next year.
