Susan and Phil were such wonderful hosts and I cannot recommend them enough! I stayed in their house (with them) alongside a few other guests.
Location were very convenient: near Washington DC and Georgetown, with many available transportation options - Metro (10 minutes walk), walking, biking and buses. You can even ride a bike from downtown Washington DC to the place!
Communications are clear, frequent and fast: Susan was the person that handle the communication (between us). The host and I exchange an initial messages when I first reserve my room. When the date approaches, we talked some more through the messages in the Airbnb platform about check-in time and some other things. They were clear and never bothersome.
Check-ins are worry-free: they have their official check-in time to be 1-6pm. However, I arranged my travel and sightseeing time so that I wanted to check in later in the night. Susan let me know her suggested time frame, and even though at the end I arrive later than expected, was totally nice about it. Again, communications were key and Susan delivered.
Hospitality are off the charts: there are so much amenities when you stay with them! Susan and Phil made me breakfast on the morning of my second day: fruits, yogurt, scrambled eggs with veggie, juice and coffee. They made sure to ask me what did I like to eat and what I couldn't eat, so I was happy with my meal. I didn't have a detailed plan of the places I want to check out, and they were so helpful in suggesting me about the attractions and places of interest around Washington DC and the surrounding area. Susan even woke up very early in the morning of my flight back home to make me breakfast (5:30am!).
They are just super nice people: the thing that make me really love them as hosts are that they interested in my story. They would ask me about my travel, the photos I took, the places I have seen and the places I want to go see, even my career and aspirations, among other things. To me, that makes it so that my stay with them wasn't just me sleeping in strangers' house. I felt like I have made a connection, amazingly so considering the short hours I spent physically with them.
If I ever visit Washington DC again, I would definitely go back so Susan and Phil's, in a heartbeat.
