Our family has stayed at *many* short-term rentals and I can honestly say Stephanie’s place is the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. It was spotless and gleaming, honestly, with comfy beds, soft linens and towels, lots of goodies (especially a wide selection of drinks and teas), high-end appliances, a selection of games and interesting books, and the most fantastic master bathroom shower I’ve ever experienced.
Seriously – that shower was glorious.
Washington D.C. is a noisy, busy place – but Stephanie’s apartment was very quiet, and we felt very safe and secure. As others have said, it seemed an oasis. Being able to park our car in a locked area right next to our door in a city where parking is at a premium was especially wonderful and convenient.
Stephanie herself was very generous and accommodating. I suffer from allergies to many cleaning and laundry products. When I mentioned this to her while booking she sent me photos of everything she uses and asked what she could do to make my stay more comfortable. When I entered her apartment, I was thrilled to smell nothing but “clean”. I had no problems at all with eye or skin irritation, which, for me, is very unusual.
Our family’s nine days at Stephanie’s (there were six of us) was fantastic – we all loved it. Why, one day she even left us a little box of chocolates! Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.
