No wonder there are nothing but glowing reviews of this place. This is the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in, hands down, and I am already missing the place. It really cannot be overstated how perfect this rental is. I was lucky enough to spend a week here. The location cannot be beat - super walkable. The HISTORY of the building, unit, and neighborhood is incredible (and the main reason I chose to book it). The unit was spacious, clean, and well stocked with towels, blankets, and an umbrella. Jan is an amazing host. She greeted me upon check in and set me up with some quick essentials (coffee, fruit, eggs, wine). Later in my stay we were able to chat over coffee in her amazing kitchen and she was sweet enough to let me tag along with her on a quick trip to old town Alexandria - and pointed out all the neat things about DC on the way. The next time I'm heading back to DC, I'm booking this place again.
