My family and I visit DC often because I have an older child who’s attending college there. This is our first time staying at Mark’s place. In the past we’ve stayed at other places listed on Airbnb and more often at a Hilton property.
Check-in is quick and easy and the apartment is as pictured. We love the natural light that comes thru the wooden blinds, the openness of the living room, and the space in general is well appointed. We love the fact it did not feel lived in, and yet homier than a hotel room.
The queen size memory foam mattresses in pull-out sofa and on bed in bedroom were comfortable - firm and well cushioned. My teenager who slept on sofa bed say she had restful sleep. We did not have any issues with street noise or noise from our neighbors. To those who may have been staying during our stay, I do apologize for my children’s loud voices and disruptive laughter as they reconnected with their older sibling over meals.
The two nights we stayed in the apartment, we cooked simple meals with groceries we picked up from nearby Trader Joe’s. Having an electric glass cooktop, ample plates, cups, cutlery, 3 pots, a nonstick skillet, and dishwasher made for easy clean up. It allowed the family more time to reconnect.
Take time out to read the house manual as it’s fairly through. Internet WiFi is super fast and Mark and his team were responsive when we had to reach out to them one evening.
Location of apartment is in residential neighborhood, unlike a hotel in business district. Mark’s place is an easy 5-10 min walk to waterfront, AMC movie theatre, Georgetown, and (10-15 min) Metro Red Line. Apartment is about a mile walk to Lincoln Memorial and totally doable. Just be sure you have good comfortable hiking or walking shoes as you’ll want to walk the Mall as well.
Check-out was simple as well. Kids say the apartment felt like home. We look forward to booking Apt. 4 again.
