My fiancee and I decided to go to Washington DC for our third anniversary. It's been on our goals list for 2017 to travel and see more of our country and DC seemed like the perfect start. However we quickly realized staying in a hotel would be a huge expense we weren't ready to make. We decided to try Airbnb and found a listing for an apartment close to the city. It would be our first time trying Airbnb so we were nervous. Those jitters quickly faded when I realized that the host of this apartment, Jennifer, made us feel not only informed, but at home with all the thoughtful and personalized touches. Jennifer communicated regularly with me and kept me informed about things happening in the house that might affect us like her husband looking for a shovel just outside our door. She even had coffee and anything we needed for the coffee in the apartment along with cookware and well stocked dishes for us to use. At the end of it, if we ever come back to DC, Jennifer's place is definitely somewhere we would stay again.
