I went to Washington DC for the first time as a stranger to the city and came back home feeling as a member of a family. This is the tip of the iceberg that describes my experience at Maureen's place. To begin with on the technical side , the room and the house were exactly as the listing . Maureen even put a basket of fruits and snacks , which came in handy when I arrived from a 14 hour flight and the bed was so comfortable I slept for almost 12 hours that day . The room and the house had everything one may need and all amenities were available - I even had my own bathroom, small fridge and a cool closet . Think of any tiny detail and you will find it available at your disposal there.

With regard to the personal experience , there are no words that can adequately describe how amazing my stay was at Maureen's . Maureen , her husband David and their son Isaac were welcoming and friendly when I arrived. once I settled in , my experience with them transcended that of an Air BnB relation , and I felt like I was home . Actually , THEY made me feel like I was at home and I already miss their morning coffee . I even went to Isaac's high school graduation !! This was the highlight of my trip and I LOVED IT. I have never been to the US before and Maureen, David and Isaac always engaged me in cultural activities / discussions that made me experience Washington as a local. Again few words cannot give any credit to my experience staying over at Maureen's but I can say one thing for sure : I would love to have Maureen and her family come over ( also with Lucy and Max who I did not get the chance to meet ) to Lebanon , and not as Air bnb guests , But as CLOSE FRIENDS visiting me . Maureen , David and Isaac - Thank you for everything and looking forward to see you soon in Lebanon
