Hao's place was perfect for me and my sister!! It's near the metro, the grocery and the national mall. It is also in front of a bus stop. Looks exactly like the photo on Airbnb and is more spacious than expected. The place could have used a good dusting though. It was neat but dusty.
We were provided towels and toiletries on arrival, with some tea and snacks too!
We would take out food from the Safeway near his place and have dinner at the apartment. We felt very relaxed and lazy. On our way to the airport, the concierge was nice enough to call a cab for us.
Although we weren't able to meet Hao, we had Mike to help us. Mike was also staying at the apartment, but was very considerate towards us. We had no problem with bathroom use since mike always left early in the morning. Mike was a good conversationalist and was very informative about where to eat and what to see! (Thanks Mike!)
If your goal is to see as many museums then this is the perfect place to be.
This is really important: although Hao was not there to help us around, he was very prompt in answering any questions we had. So much so that I felt like he was there physically! 5 stars out of 5!
Thank you Hao! We'd definitely stay with you again.
