Great hosts!
My Airbnb app was not communicating with the server, so I messed up our reservations. Maria was able to fix it, and really saved our trip.
We were in town to celebrate my brother's birthday. He lives adjacent to Catholic University, and this location is about four minutes and one traffic light away. Easy access to North Capitol Street also gave us a painless route to a family gathering in the 4th & H St area. I didn't need it this trip, but it would also be very easy to get to the Takoma Park/Silver Spring area.
The accommodation itself was large (albeit with a low boxed beam, as advertised), spotlessly clean, and well appointed. Another reviewer said it was nicer than a hotel room. That is true, with large, fluffy towels and a very comfortable bed. But it was also far more personable. The decorations were personal, and made it feel as if we were staying at a friend's place.
And isn't that why we use Airbnb?
