I recently stayed with Chris MacDonald's "Upscale Private Close to Everything" It was my first time using Airbnb as was recommended by a friend. Chris has set the high standards for the future as was as it says on the tin Upscale Private and Close to everything. I was attending a Conference at the Washington Conference center and it was in easy walking distance to it as well as the metro which is on a direct line to Ronald Regan (DCA) airport. Also walking distance to 7th Street and Florida avenue (U Street) for food and drinks. It was excellent place to stay which had all and more of the comforts of the very expensive and overpriced DC hotels. Four people were staying there who were like minded and even went out socially with them so he attracts the right type of people but private if you wanted. I would highly recommend Chris's place if in DC and will try Airbnb again but as said before Chris has set the Gold Standard!! Garrett
