This is an AMAZING place to stay in D.C. for 1-3 people wanting to see the sights. The home: Impeccably finished and prestinely clean. Beautiful, functional, comfortable. Front door to the street and back door to a great large patio. The attention to every detail in the space is remarkable!
The location: FANTASTIC! Nestled in a neighborhood yet just two blocks from...Library of Congress (don't miss this!) and the Supreme Court with a few more (downhill) steps to the Capitol, Botanical Gardens, and the rest of the National Mall with its festivals, Smithsonian Museums, and must-see monuments. Walking away from the Capitol, you will enjoy great food and the Eastern Market where you can find delightful local artists sharing their craft and produce vendors sharing the season's local bounty! We also enjoyed short Uber rides to take in the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery and a great show at Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.
The dining: PERFECT! Every food need is met right around the corner. Two coffee shops with wonderful "quick bites", multiple highly rated breakfast/brunch options, a "raved about" pizza by the slice and a gourmet burger/fry/shake steps from a delicious salad shop with more options on every side.
The host: THE BEST! We have never felt more cared for on a trip! From the moment we instant-booked until we boarded our plane home, these hosts were concerned for our wellbeing. I have never experienced such careful and effective communication with an AirBnB host! Immediately available by email, text or phone - they we always there for us! They made absolutely certain we understood all the options to get to/from the airport, had enough bottled water with us to fair well in the heat, knew all the weekend's best activities, and never has a need we could not meet ourselves. Through this experience I now truly understand the word "host"!
This home, with its most-gracious hosts, helps a two-day stay feel like a long vacation! This is AirBnB at its best!
