This was my first Air B&B experience, so I was worried about what we were getting ourselves into. We were in DC for a week to visit relatives and friends, and to see the sights. Suffice it to say that John has set a high standard for all future Air B&B hosts. He communicated with me ahead of time to ask if we were wine drinkers, so that when we arrived, there were two bottles of wine waiting for us, as well as bottled water and snacks. We texted back and forth during our entire stay, and he responded to my questions almost immediately. He provided us with a list of restaurant recommendations and places of interest. When we were low on supplies, he brought them downstairs within minutes, and respected our privacy by dropping them off inside the security gate and just outside our door.
The apartment itself was immaculate, ( I have high standards as well), larger than I imagined, and stocked with every amenity, including a full, complete
kitchen and washer/dryer. This darling English basement felt cozy and secure, with two code- locked entries, ( no keys to lose!), and the bedroom in the back to provide nighttime peace and quiet in a busy area of the city. It is conveniently located ( 1/2 block) to the Metro, Starbuck’s, a 24-Hr pharmacy, grocery store, and dozens of great restaurants, bars, and night life.
It snowed one day during our stay, and we were out and about early. John had the walk and steps shoveled and salted by the time we came home.
This place is fabulous, and John is a stellar host. I just hope it will be available for our future visits to DC!
