This cottage, and it's host Alice, made my vacation perfect. The cottage is located less than 20 mins away from Washington, D.C. attractions/museums/restaurants, and has a gorgeous layout and design, inside and out. It fit 2 people very comfortably, and was thoroughly clean and organized upon arrival. Even the household amenities that were offered were impressive, such as the fun teas, board games, roku TV channels, enclosed and illuminated outdoor patio, coffee supplies, etc that were available. As well, Alice initiated communication in a very informative and welcoming manner. I am grateful that she was always a text away in case I had any questions or concerns; This allowed me to feel like I had someone knowledgeable and friendly to rely on in a new city, if needed. Could not have asked for a better first AirBnb experience, and will definitely be reserving this cottage again whenever I visit Washington, D.C. in the future!!
