Everything about this aribnb listing exceeded my expectations... from Henrike and her family, to just how wonderful the apartment was itself.

The apartment itself feels like a home away from home... you can tell a lot of time and care was put into making sure the arriving guests feel as comfortable and accommodated as possible. With small touches like conveniently placed magazines, helpful notes to assist in acclimating quickly to the new environment, and even making sure traveling essentials like shampoo are available (in the event you like myself forget them) and immediately accessible. I never once felt out of place or uncomfortable here, not even when i first entered the door... which anybody who travels can admit speaks louder than words.

Henrike and her family as well are truly amazing people. They are genuine, and fun loving... and their daughter is truly awe-inspiring. They greeted us with cookies, and great conversation... and made every attempt they could to ensure we felt as welcome as possible while staying in their home.

I would gladly recommend staying here to anyone... and I will certainly be coming back if I require a home away from home again in the DC area.
