This was my first Airbnb experience and Escale went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. He even took me grocery shopping when I first arrived! I have to say that I was impressed by how clean the house was. The bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, etc were all sparkly clean. I was a bit nervous at first since I never experienced Airbnb before (and was traveling alone) but I have to say I feel so very lucky to have chosen Escale's home. I stayed for over a week and it was a lovely experience.
The bed, pillows, and linens were all super comfy and there were hangers and fresh towels in my room's closet. I also really enjoyed the outside deck and the neighborhood was very quiet. The house has great AC and was kept comfortably cool. You are welcome to lounge in the living room, watch a movie, do some laundry, prepare meals, and so on! The bus stops right on the corner and the house is between the Fort Totten and Brookland Metro stops on the Red Line. I worked downtown so I loved coming back home to a nice peaceful neighborhood and watching the sunset on the back porch.
Escale really makes you feel like you are at home. We had some great conversations. He is very accessible if you need anything and he is also immensely kind, respectful, professional and accommodating. You can tell he takes his hosting role very seriously and he deeply cares about giving his guests the best possible experience. I will definitely consider staying with Escale again and I highly recommend his listings.
