I had a great stay for 6 nights at Elise's place. I really enjoyed it & wish I could have stayed longer. It truly is a home away from home, one of the best airbnb's I've stayed at. It's spacious, beautifully decorated and Elise provides thoughtful touches ... cookies, lovely tea ... and coffee! It's an easy 10-15 min walk to either metro station, and only a few stops into Washington centre to see the sights. Coming home late at night I either caught an Uber from metro station, or there's a bus from Brookland-CUA metro station with a stop one block away from airbnb. I always felt safe walking about. Pizza place close by is a must. And the local farmers market on the Saturday is fun.
If I'm lucky enough to return to Washingto DC in the future . . . I would definitely book with Elise again. :-)
