We were in town for the Twenty One Pilots concert and Mario's place was perfect! The parking spot included was a life saver. The house is GORGEOUS!! So perfectly designed and decorated. The beds were super comfortable! Everything we could have needed was there in the kitchen. The check in and out was easy and the small tasks we had to do at the end of our stay were reasonable. WE LOVED all the pictures around the house. No one prints photos anymore- so to see them framed and up all over Mario's home made us smile- especially the ones with Mario and Lani the dog. :)
The apartment was in super close proximity to Capital One Arena which made it perfect for us to wait outside the venue after the show where we got to meet most of the band! (Super bonus for my super fan daughter!)
THIS NEXT PART IS NO FAULT OF MARIO'S BUT for light sleepers like myself-
We arrived very late the first night of our stay (arriving after 1 am) and there must have been something going on, not on our street but in the proximity because there was a lot of police and ambulance activity all through the night into the morning. I'm a light sleeper and we were in the master bedroom which is right on the main street. After some looking at maps- I saw that we were located not too far from the hospital. So if you're a light sleeper like me, you may want to pick the second bedroom. Remember- you're in a city so there is going to be noise and sometimes lots of it. Our second night- it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop and we all slept like babies. I want to reiterate- this was NO fault of the host but just be aware.
We enjoyed our stay, Mario is a super communicator and had great ideas for us with our visit to DC. THANK YOU MARIO AND LANI for sharing your home with us!!! Awesome memories were made and thank you for making that happen! <3
