This was my first experience with Airbnb, and it was fantastic! The apartment looked like it had been newly renovated, and it was very light and bright, even for a basement apartment. The two bedrooms were surprisingly large, and the kitchen and bathroom looked brand new. There was a nice garden area out back that we could use. There was even a washer and dryer in the apartment! The location is only about 4 blocks from the Capitol building. There are several restaurants within walking distance. We used Uber a lot, so getting around town was easy. The apartment is in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, so it was nice and quiet, and was close to most everything we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend this for someone who wants to stay near the Capitol. You really feel like you are in the heart of the city! And so much nicer than your typical hotel! Thanks, Alex and Lara!
