Three of us arrived in D.C. from three different places for a three-day research marathon at the Library of Congress, which happens to be just a few blocks from Chris's place. From the photos, the house looked like it was going to be beautiful and charming, and it turned out to be much much more. From the perfect lighting to the comfy beds and soft bedding , everything about the place was pitch perfect.
Chris himself is a great host, extremely responsive and accommodating, providing a comprehensive set of house instructions and neighborhood tips that should serve as a template for Airbnb hosts everywhere.
Then there are the smaller touches: the lovely wine glasses; the well-labeled drawers; the sturdy shutters(!); the Oxo coffee maker AND Nespresso machine, with a bag of great coffee ready and waiting on the counter....
What a delightful place to come home to after long days at the Library of Congress.
