Right from the start I was very impressed with the communications with the owner. Each time I had a question or request, I immediately got a response within minutes from Ira. As a new user of Airbnb, I had a couple of booking mistakes that I had made that were easily taken care of by Ira, again, almost immediately. It made the Airbnb experience very easy for me and gave me confidence that I was dealing with an owner that was caring and reputable. The apartment was just as described on the website and by other guests who provided comments. A great location with easy walking access to food, shopping and local DC attractions. The sofa bed in the living area was a bit small for me and the mattress was a bit soft for my liking, but it was fine for the week. If you are over 6 foot, then the sofa bed is good for only one person in my opinion. My last comment is that the kitchen was very nice and had everything I needed to prepare and eat meals in the apartment. Thanks.
