Being our first trip to D.C. and our first time using Airbnb, the whole trip was a success. Sara was a fantastic host, communication was outstanding, answered any/all questions, took care of personal requests, provided helpful information about the area and ensured we had our parking passes prior to arrival. Check-in was easy with the lockbox outside the door and the house was very clean upon arrival. The neighborhood is very nice and we found the grocery store was a nice convenience being within walking distance. Dont be dismayed by the laundrymat next door or being on the busy main street, our first impressions were completely off, the area is very nice and safe. We found many people jogging in the mornings/afternoons and others walking to and from work. My wife and I went for a morning jog ourselves to the Lincoln Memorial at 6:30am to beat the afternoon crowds, very refreshing and beautiful at that time of day. The house is close to restraunts and bars (recommend B Too for a Lobster Waffle) off 14th street but we found the Pizzeria around the corner to be our late night fave. The location is great, not too far from the monuments but after several days of walking if your feet are tired, we used Uber and the local cabs which were no more than $6-10 from wherever we were at so that was nice. The house has a ton of character and I loved some of the structural architeture but with a home this old it does come with some of the effects of age. The floorboards are very old and very noisy, some uneven, so it was hard not to wake any light sleepers up in the early morning while traversing the stairs. Besides that, we had no comlaints. Every room had a full size bed and two additional twins are available for use in the closet on the second floor. We used those for the kids and it was very helpful. The house A/C and heat worked just fine and there were fans and space heaters in every room closet if needed. The third floor was slightly warmer than the rest of the house but the fan helped with that. Towels, cookware, coffee pot and anything else we needed were all present so nothing was missed. Definately recommend this place and would stay here again! Thanks Sara!!!
