Nicole was very responsive from day 1, and it was easy to arrange my arrival, and my need to drop my luggage so I can get started with my day's activities. The location is great, its conveniently located a few minutes walk from Metro's red line, and a few stations away to Smithsonian. Uber carpool is cheap too, if you're not in a rush, and don't mind getting a tour around town through Uber, I recommend it. After a long day of walking in heat and humidity, it was so great to get in to a nice, clean room, with AC on turned on high. With some other Airbnb listing they will tell you not to expect a hotel. But Nicole's place, expect a room with fresh clean set of towels, bar soaps, shower caps, shampoo and conditioner, mini-fridge, microwave, a notepad and a pen! And an extension cord by your bed. The house is located at the historic DuPont area, walk around discover old mansions, embassy buildings and restaurants. There's a great Japanese restaurant right across, good coffee (Filter) a few minutes walk, and a book store. If you're there on a Sunday, check out the farmer's market.
