This space is a great value given the desirable location. It was an easy 30 minute metro ride directly from DCA with no transfers. It was so convenient that it was easier to not rent a car/car seat and just walk around the corner with our luggage and 4 year old.
Check in was not as smooth as the building has two units and when we arrived we weren't sure which of the two doors was the airbnb. We arrived 2 hours after check-in and used the key code provided to open door number one only to find someone repairing furniture on the floor. Door number two was unlocked and was clearly occupied. We went back to door number one and asked if we were in the right space and a very nice woman was cleaning the space for our stay. Himo then responded around the same time explaining that it was indeed a cleaning lady for the airbnb. We then left our luggage and went to go get dinner. When we returned the smoke alarm in one of the bedrooms was beeping every minute as if it was out of batteries. I then had to message Himo again about the issue. Luckily, CVS was on the corner so I bought a 9 volt battery. Unfortunately, it did not stop the beeping. Himo was able to reset the alarm remotely after about 20 frantic minutes the beeping finally stopped.
The communication was rapid fire for the initial part of our stay, but always polite and responsive. The space had everything we needed, and the location alone makes it a great value. Would stay again.
