This was our first experience with Airbnb and I have to say it was a very pleasant one! Dawn was a gracious host and her basement apartment was adorable! The apartment was well equipped with everything you could need. It was clean and bright. The communication was always prompt and helpful. We did have a bit of water that flowed into the bedroom through the back door as a result of the drain not being placed correctly but Dawn was able to fix the problem quickly and had the room cleaned up by the time we returned from dinner. The neighborhood was nice and it was conveniently located just one block from the metro which made transportation easy. There was overhead noise and we were able to hear footsteps etc., but to be fair Dawn had warned us about this several times before our arrival and it was to be expected. Overall it was a pleasant stay and I would definitely consider staying here on our next visit to the DC area.
