Kara and Susan are great hosts - communicative, responsive, friendly, helpful, and full of recommendations and tips. There is also a very handsome cat whom you may be lucky enough to spot in the backyard. He was less involved in hosting duties, but was most likely off handling important kitty business.
The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and well-decorated. Every little detail is taken care of, down to extra slippers and toiletries in the bathroom, and a proper coffee grinder and french press in the kitchen. The entire place well-equipped, the bed is comfortable, the closet has plenty of room for your luggage and clothes, and the big projection TV in the living area is great.
The place is along the red metro line (maybe a 10-minute walk away from the Takoma station), a short ride to downtown DC and all of the attractions there. At a few dollars per ride, depending on distance travelled (and easy access to the location directly from Reagan Int’l Airport), transportation is faster, cheaper, easier, and much more convenient than Lyft/Uber or taxi services.
I can’t recommend this place highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if I return to D.C.
