great property, great price, and a more than great host!
Micah responded very quickly, was accommodating of our situation, and was overall very polite and helpful throughout the entirety of our stay.
the place itself was very clean and had everything we needed. as a note, it didn't have a stove or oven, so if that is a necessity for you (it wasn't for us) then another place may be better.
also important was location. unfortunately the property is about 15 minutes walking from the nearest station, so if you plan to use the rail in dc, you will have to weigh that factor in your choice. Benning was a completely fine location itself and we had no issues at all, but I speak on behalf of many people I know that there may be a culture shock/new experience for some who haven't visited/resided areas of that sort like we have. I write this last point with slight disdain that I even am mentioning such, but just to give some context to any potential renter of this great property I would unfortunately encourage all to at least look at Benning and then decide if they want to stay in the area.
all in all, this is definitely the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in, so thank you again Micah
