Our daughter lives in DC, so we have visited many times. This is the first time we have used Airbnb, and we couldn't be happier. Rose and Billy opened their home to us. We were expecting a room, but the third floor was more like a suite. Our hosts gave us suggestions of things to do, made sure we were comfortable, and even invited us to do things with them.
This wonderful house is in a fabulous location. The walk to the Friendship Heights Metro takes about 5 minutes. We were 1 block from dozens of restaurants and stores. Even with all this activity one street away, the neighborhood is quiet and safe. We hope we can stay with Rose and Billy next time we visit the capital!
