Dawn's place was the PERFECT place for our long weekend in D.C. It is in a very welcoming residential area but within a block or two to bus stops and subway stations. We figured out the subway system easily and were at all the landmarks within a few short stops. When we stayed near the house my young daughter played on the playground across the street or a really nice school playground a few blocks away. And when we were at the school playground we had to go to the famous pretzel shop across the street! Dawn’s place was updated, clean and had all of the amenities we needed. Dawn welcomed my daughter to the backyard to play in the sandbox and a very impressive treehouse they had recently built. My daughter’s favorite part of the trip was playing with Dawn’s children in the backyard! As Dawn warned, we heard a few random little footsteps upstairs but it was no more than would be heard in a hotel or apartment building. This was our first experience with Airbnb and the bar has been set very high after staying at Dawn’s place.
