Irik and Zaira's place is a great choice if you are visiting DC! Irik is a great host who is eager to be of service and very knowledgeable about the city. The place itself is simple, but sparkling clean, with all the amenities you need for your stay. It's conveniently located within walking distance to Union Station, where you can take various free Circulator bus routes throughout the city. It is more of a residential area, though, so restaurants and bars are not at your doorstep. If you're not opposed to walking a bit, they can be reached easily from his place. Lastly, check-in and communication with the hosts were both easy and efficient. I highly recommend their place!
