Everything about this listing was five stars. I wanted a clean, comfortable, and convenient location to stay at for around two weeks before I moved out of D.C. This listing was perfect for the task. Communication was the best I've ever experienced with an Airbnb host. Charlotte, the host, would consistently respond to my questions and clarifications within minutes. She was helpful and friendly. The promptness with which answers and clarifications were given made everything so much easier.
The place itself was excellent. It was very well stocked for long term stays and even had a dedicated work space. Checking-in was very easy and convenient. The place is comfortable, clean, and stylish. Everything worked as promised and I did not feel misled in the slightest based on what was promised and what I experienced. Although the unit is a basement, it does not feel like one. There is one large window through which comes plenty of light. However, because it is a basement unit, there is some noise that comes from those living upstairs. The noise, however, is certainly bearable and not really an issue.
The best part about the listing is its location. It is conveniently located within a minute's walk from CVS and a three minute walk from Wholefoods. Most of DC is easily accessible through the variety of buses that stop at different locations, all within about 3-4 minutes of the listing. There are multiple affordable restaurants and pubs on H street that offer a variety of cuisines. It is also safe and very green. You're surrounded by families and row houses.
Ultimately, what really sets this listing apart is the extent to which the host has gone to make the guest feel like he is valued and important. From multiple sets of towels to the little things, like the way in which the toilet paper and towelettes were arranged made evident just how much the host cares about the guest's experience. This is what you look for with an Airbnb host, someone you can rely on to make sure even the little things are done right.
This listing is great and is definitely worth the money spent. I would stay here if I were in DC again.
