Elmar and Michelle were the best! My son and I came to see the Washington DC sights, and to visit local colleges.
We took advantage of the Airbnb amenities. There is a Giant grocery store within walking distance that we went to on the first day. We picked up milk, cereal, microwave popcorn, etc. and had breakfast in the Airbnb every morning, and munched on snacks at night after a day of sightseeing.
Check-in was easy. Elmar and Michelle were home, Elmar gave us a tour of the apartment, and showed us how to use the door. There is an electronic lock on the door to the house and you get a personal code that you enter so you can come and go as you please. The apartment was ready when we got there, but if need be, Elmar said we could have dropped off our bags, gone out into the city, and they would have texted us when it was ready.
The Airbnb is located within walking distance of the main DC attractions. If my son and I didn’t feel like walking, an Uber ride was usually less than $10.
It was great talking to both of them. They are both well-travelled and have great stories and perspective. They showed sincere interest in what my son and I said, and they were wonderful to converse with.
When it was time for us to leave, we checked out, and left our bags in the house to go out into the city, and then came back for our bags to catch an evening flight.
All in all this was a great experience - Thank you Elmar and Michelle!
