Staying at Alan's place has been my best Airbnb experience so far. The apartment is beautifully decorated. Very comfortable bed, dresser and closet space, fully-equipped kitchen. Washer/dryer. The outdoor space is definitely a plus! And all only 1-1/2 blocks from the Potomac Ave. Metro Station, making it easy to get anywhere in D.C. Easy check-in and check-out! Although we never met in person, Alan was a superior host, responding to any communications within minutes and always with a positive resolution. I would highly recommend staying at Alan's place while in DC.
