We arrived late, after driving from Ohio with my husband and 10 year old son. Charlotte met us at the door, and took the time to show us all the amenities of the room and some brief info about bus stops, and left us to crash for the night. The room is lovely and clean, and perfect for our family of 3. The fold out twin for our son was great. The bus stop is a short walk, and I'll take riding the bus, over driving and parking in DC any day! Palisades is a lovely village feel. We had Chinese delivered after one exhausting day, and went to The Boat House for our last evening. Family friendly and great filet mignon. The coffee and the hairdryer and many other small and thoughtful additions to the room, really made it feel like home. In fact, after a long day of sightseeing, our 10 year old would say 'Let's go home." When we visit DC again, this will definately be the place we will stay! Thank you Charlotte for a wonderful first experience on airbnb.
