Sara was very easy to communicate with over the AirBnB message system prior to our arrival. Sara was very flexible in allowing us to check in a little bit early which was very helpful! The place was as described. It was perfect accomodations for four of us. The neighborhood is in close proximity to chinatown and Penn Quarter neighborhoods as well as the convention center and metro stop for Mt. Vernon Sq. Mt. Vernon Sq. is very diverse and is well on its way to being a very nice neighborhood. There are many restaurants and a safeway grocery store within walking distance. The national mall is also relatively close, you could walk or take public transportation. Overall I would highly recommend Sara's AirBnB.
