This is the best airbnb unit I've ever stayed in -- I have travelled a lot for work and tourism and can honestly say that.
First, the unit: one of the most aesthetically unique and warm airbnbs I've seen. Jazz pictures, books, warm lighting, very cozy for the winter especially -- but I was in the unit for the summer and loved it then too.
The neighborhood: you can get to all the major DC sights from here walking, if you want -- I walked to the Washington Monument and all over, but honestly the neighborhood of Bloomingdale is lovely itself. I loved running up 1st street around the water reservoir and back down through the Howard University campus, personally. Beautiful scenery and very safe.
Most importantly, the people: Eva and Marshall are the best. I was on temporary evacuation status from an overseas job due to COVID-19 and from the beginning, Eva and Marshall were incredibly understanding of my situation and empathetic. I ended up staying over six months and we all ended up becoming friends -- but they're so cool and friendly that even someone on a short stay could have a good time sitting outside on their patio and having a chat with Eva and Marshall, and possibly learn a lot too. I'll miss this unit a lot and recommend it 1000% to anyone who wants to come to DC, but not stay in a soulless corporate-type housing situation or a boring airbnb. This one is cool, warm, welcoming and hosted by truly good people.
