My brother and I were blessed to have Angela and Joe as our first airbnb hosts.
I started communications with Angela and Joe about 24 hours before arrival time. Even before requesting to stay, Angela was very responsive to each of my questions, and when I told her I was having problems booking with airbnb she offered to help.
Once we were booked (same day as check-in) I asked if we could arrive after midnight and Angela told us it was no problem. We ended up arriving around midnight and she was still able to show us the place.
Our stay included breakfast and more. There was a phenomenal selection of healthy food in the kitchen and fridge. I am so grateful for the food, in part because it was vitalizing for much of our busy DC stay.
The place is warm, clean, spacious, with all the necessities. The bed is comfortable, the shower has great water pressure, and it is quiet and private inside.
The home is in a convenient location. The neighborhood is clean, safe, and pretty. Far enough from the bustle for quiet, but easy access to downtown. Connecticut Ave is one block away where you will find a bus to downtown, and is also lined with various types of shops, places to eat, etc. Our first morning my brother and I decided to make the walk to downtown which took less than an hour.
Angela and Joe also let us leave our car in their extra parking space all day after we checked out (there was nobody else checking in that day).
Truthfully, the best part was the comfort interacting with Angela, who really cared about our experience, and wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed. She is kind, generous, genuine, flexible, and dependable. I had alot of hesitation about using airbnb my first time, but because of the openness of communication we had, I was comforted the whole stay. I am thoroughly happy and grateful for staying here. I cannot ask for anything more than this.
If I use airbnb for the Washington DC area again, I will first request to stay here.
I wish Angela and Joe blessings, happiness, health and success in their new home, and also as airbnb hosts in this new home!
