After a week’s stay in this Tenleytown apartment I moved for a few nights to a fancy, brand new hotel nearby and…I missed the apartment! It’s IMMACULATE, perfectly appointed, cheery, comfortable, and a great layout + amount of space.
The location – equidistant between Tenleytown and Friendship Heights metro stops – cannot be beat. Everything you need (food, pharmacy, etc.) is within a ~10 minute walk. [Highly recommend the Friendship Heights Whole Foods for provisions] You’re close to the major thoroughfare of Wisconsin Ave. but also have the option to walk around the lovely neighborhood/side streets.
In person the apartment is exactly as pictured: bright and totally new/renovated. Bed and pillows are extremely comfortable, and I had some of my best sleep there in ages as it was super quiet. Lovely, fully stocked galley kitchen that’s as spotless as the bathroom – which is also fully stocked with bath products. Lots of drawers and hanging space for your clothes, convenient desk and table set ups, fast Wi-Fi. You control the A/C in the apartment and it worked great. Extra double-lock on the inside door for safety, and all the windows have blinds that close. Reasonably priced for the apartment size and location. Check-in and out were super easy.
If staying in an English basement gives you pause, I’m very sensitive to mold and did not have a single sneeze or itchy eye in this apartment, and there are no funny smells of dampness.
Niki is an amazing, super responsive host. The care and attention she puts into hosting shows in the fact that every little detail is attended to. From filtered water to metro cards, an umbrella to a thorough information booklet… this is what the Airbnb experience aspires to. Thanks for a great stay!
