Our Airbnb experience with Eric was excellent! His lovely Victorian townhouse is beautifully decorated and renovated with all the modern conveniences one could wish for. Coffee was set-out in the kitchen for the brewing each morning. The second floor guest bedroom is bright, comfortable and wonderfully appointed. The bed, sheets and comforter are perfect for sound sleeping. With a large walk-in closet and private, immaculate bathroom we could have moved in. In fact, we did for 7 days. Eric’s home is centrally located in a charming and safe neighborhood. Within a walking distance of a few short blocks are the U.S. Supreme Court building and the beginning of America’s National Mall with all of its iconic landmarks and museums. The location is also within a short walking distance to Union Station, the Farmer’s Market and numerous restaurants of all menus. Don’t want to walk? It is convenient to access a diversity of public transportation. We drove into D.C. and Eric obtained a free Zone 6 parking permit for our stay; only needed to move the car once for street cleaning and when we ventured into Virginia. (Remember to keep the parking permit in your window at all times. Otherwise, the D.C. police will nail you with a $30. parking ticket.)

Eric is a welcoming, affable and relaxed host with a wealth of knowledge about D.C. Due to our nonstop schedule, we did not spend as much time with him as we would have enjoyed. However, Eric was readily and gladly available to answer our questions by cell phone if not in person. We’re looking forward to our next, special visit to D.C. when we can spend more time with him. WITHOUT QUESTION, we recommend Eric’s home on your inaugural or next visit to Washington, D.C.
