Teri's place had to be one of the best Airbnb experiences my family and I have had! To make the most of our time, we took an early flight to andDC. Teri allowed us to drop our bags off before the 4:00 PM Check-In time which is always super helpful. When dropping our bags, I was immediately struck by how spotless the entire unit was. Nary a stain on the carpet, the bathroom was immaculate, and I love that Teri uses white linens as I was confident everything was clean, fresh, and hygienic.
The space is beautifully designed, and there's a fully outfitted kitchen. We had everything we needed to cook (albeit we often went out for dinner, more on that later) and store snacks, drinks, and breakfast & lunch items throughout our 7-day stay. The coffee and tea were plentiful, andly like that the coffee machine isn't a Keurig.
One of the many reasons we booked Teri's place was because it had a washer and dryer. Running a few loads of laundry part ways through our trip helps us fairly light. Just be sure to empty the moisture catch in the dryer and the lint trap, and you're all set!
We also loved the TV downstairs and upstairs. We have two girls, 16 & 7. The two TVs allowed them to have some space and decompress after spending 24/7 together. They even opted to share the upstairs sleeping space because the clever curtain made it dark and soundless. In essence, they slept like babies. There's plenty of storage; the sleeping area has a small closet, and there's a bigger closet, dressers, and an armoire in the main bedroom. This allowed us to stow all of our suitcases away, which made the space feel more like home! Moreover, it's SUPER quiet at night, which isn't always the case in more urban areas.
The unit was also very easily accessible. Since we rented a car, Teri provided a parking pass, and we were often able to park directly in front of the unit or very close to it.
Location-wise, you cannot find a better location. We were within walking distance of Whole Foods and many H-Street Corridor restaurants. Our favorites were BRINE and Bullfrog Bagels when it turns into a Filipino restaurant at night. There's a wine bar practically next door to the unit, and best of all, everything closes no later than 10 PM, so there are no bar or club sounds that bump in the night. I also took a 15-minute solo walk to Union Market, which is where you'll find tons of food and a few really cute shops. We were also a 12-minute drive to the Mall and 18 minutes to Georgetown (it was only that long bc of in Georgetown). Logan Circle and Dupont Circle were also very close by.
All in all, this was a GREAT experience and I hope to stay at one of Teri's rentals when I'm back in DC for work.
