The apartment was just like in the pictures, very cozy and with lots of light. Everything is ready for you to feel at home. We were there just during the night and morning and we were very comfortable. I loved that Kate and Dolph had everything ready for our comfort: coffee, tea, napkins, toilet paper, shampoo, soap, towels. The decoration is so nice! Everything worked perfect: dish washer, laundry machine and dryer, the heat system, hot water. We didn't have any problems. We had a rented car and we could move around very fast and easy, having a parking spot in D.C. is like wining the lottery, so that worked perfectly too. We drove during our stay so I couldn't tell you if it is a good location for public transportation, but I was told the Metro and the bus stop were not too far. The only strange situation for us as first time users of Airbnb was that Kate and Dolph were away for the holidays (when we were there) and that made us feel a little lost at the beginning of our stay. If it weren't for the international mobile data we had hired from our home cellphone company we could not have been in touch with them, all the communication was via the Airbnb app and SMS messages the first days (for latinos like us this was a little odd and it felt a little cold). We had trouble reaching them on their phones on our arrival (not that we really needed anything, though). It would be a good idea for you to be prepared to communicate through the smartphone. Once they got home, Kate came to say hello and offered to help if we needed anything and we felt safer. If this happens to you, I recommend you to take a look at the visitors guide they have on the table, in which we could find important information during our stay. If you don't mind having an independent stay, if you are a frequent Airbnb user, or if you know how to move around D.C., this is the apartment for you. I am sure if we had had any trouble Kate and Dolph would have helped us anyway, and if it weren't for the Holidays season they would have been in closer contact with us. We would stay here again for sure.
