I loved staying at Cindy’s. The space is very large and clean, the bed is comfortable, the internet is reliable and fast, there’s air conditioning and heat for the room specifically, and a new washer/dryer are available downstairs free of charge. I did all my laundry before I went home and it was awesome. Cindy was in and out of the place while I was there, so I enjoyed having the space to myself when she was out, and playing with her super adorable dachshunds when she was in (Hanna and Chocolate were hands down the best part of the airbnb deal).  You have full use of the kitchen and huge kitchen counter – if you want to cook or work on your laptop - there’s a kettle, microwave, toaster oven, large fridge, and typical kitchen amenities. There’s also an option for recycling and composting, which I dug. There’s a small TV in your room and a large one in the living room (with a huge uber comfy couch). There are plenty of linens and extra bedding, and one of my favorite things was the superhuman (brand) shower/conditioner/body wash station in the shower (and good water pressure - hooray). I’m always paranoid that there won’t be enough basic amenities, but Cindy is prepared for all your needs! There’s a hair dryer, extra tampons, hangers, napkins – you get the picture. Also the place has a lot of lighting and electrical outlets (I’m a sucker for having lots of places to plug in my stuff and bright lights). The nearest metro station (Columbia Heights – green/yellow line) is about a 17 minute walk and you can get anywhere from that station (I did). Buses are anywhere from 5-12 minutes away, the zoo is a 12 minute walk, and there are a bunch of other cool spots (Hillwood, for ex.) that are within a half hour walk away. And if you don’t feel like walking – lyft or uber are always circling around (I’ve made great use of their services without issue). I personally loved the neighborhood. It’s very diverse and inclusive. Every other house has an “everyone is welcome here regardless of….” sign in their yard. There are lots of dogs and kids around. As a female I felt safe walking home from the metro at midnight. There’s also a great late night pupuseria (Gloria’s) on the way home that can hook it up if you’re coming home late and don’t know where you’re going to eat. A Target (open till 11pm) and CVS (open till midnight) are right by the metro station. Lots of great cafes and bars about 12 mins of a walk away on 14th street. And it’s right at the edge of Rock Creek Park, so you look out into the park from your room and hear the birds chirping in the morning if you open the windows. And, if you’re a couple wanting more of your own space, there’s a huge downstairs unit available as...
