My two colleagues and I had to stay in DC for a month long for a course, and we had found Carlton's place, and we couldn't have been more excited to staying here. It is exactly as it appears in the pictures on Airbnb. The apartment is a ground level apartment with nice windows to allow sunlight in. The place is extremely spacious and easily fit the 3 of us (2 real beds and 1 sofa bed in the living room). The far bedroom has its own spa-style bath and the other bathroom is a common bathroom. Kitchen is hands down one of the best I've seen in an Airbnb rental unit for the cost that we paid. It is well equipped with cooking utensils, dinnerware, glassware, etc. If you need anything from the grocery store, the Giant market is 5-10 minutes walk from the apartment. The Green/Yellow Metro line is 1 block away, which allows for easy access to downtown. U Corridor, which is a lively bar and restaurant scene is about 15 minute walk down 14th street. Also, don't discount the Columbia Heights restaurants and bars, which are just up 11th street, which are also really good.

One thing I have to stress is that I couldn't have asked for any better communication from Carlton and his team. Seriously, they were incredibly response at any time of the day and later at night. When we initially arrived at the apartment, the wifi wasn't functioning as well across the whole place since it's a very long apartment. Carlton and his team immediately addressed the situation and had Comcast come to check the outlets and boost the signal so that it would reach from the front of the apartment to the back without significant loss in speed (which is quite fast still for 3 *very* high bandwidth users of the internet). It snowed once when we were there, and Carlton was prompt at shoveling the snow and putting salt. There was heavy rain one of the nights, and again, proper communication to us on where to watch out if there's any backup of water.

It was a real pleasure to stay in such a comfortable environment with a gracious host.
