As my first Airbnb experience, I am OVERJOYED I picked such an awesome apartment! First off, Alan was amazing! He met me as soon as I arrived in the area, which was before check-in, helped me find parking and bring all my bags to the apartment. (Mind you I had enough to last a week lol) Alan gave me a tour of the apartment AND the neighborhood. Showed me where the metro and supermarket were, along with other restaurants in the area.

The apartment is WONDERFUL! I felt like I was at home. It is quiet, clean, and well decorated. The kitchen has everything you may need. Even though I brought my own, it was nice to know that it was there if I forgot. The bathroom was clean, and I'm a germaphobe and I had ZERO issues. The bedroom is quiet but my only complaint is that the bed is very firm. My second night I slept on the sofa bed because it was a bit softer, BUT that is just my personal preference. Overall, the apartment is WONDERFUL.

Communication-Alan was the best! From emailing me before arrival to staying in contact if need be during my stay. He was awesome. One evening, I literally ran from the door because I heard an animal and Alan was great. He was readily available to answer my call and reassured me I shouldn't be worried. He even stopped by to check. He was really amazing.

Location! Location! Location!-This apartment is right down the block from the metro station and probably a 15-20 minute metro ride to the National Mall and 5-10 mins from Chinatown. I truly enjoyed the location.

I am planning another trip to DC in January and I would definitely stay here again!
