We stayed here this week with our 2 teenage daughters. It was our 1st Airbnb experience as well as the 1st for our host. First of all we were very impressed by our host Ed who took great care to make sure we were comfortable and happy with the place. Since we were both new to the experience he went out of the way to make sure any minor deficiencies were corrected immediately.
The basement apartment is nice and cozy and has a private entrance.
Not having stayed in this part of DC before we were unsure what to expect however, it turned out to be a great experience. The area is very central and accessible. There are a lot of great restaurants and young people. Public transport either by Metro or by Uber was easy. There is a Trader Joe's nearby.
Most places are within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.
