We loved our stay at Brian and Alaina’s charming English Basement!
The pride they take in their beautiful victorian row house is so evident in the professional, yet friendly way they execute their business. It is the perfect airbnb! Brian and Alaina are gracious and conscientious hosts that go “above and beyond” to make their guests' stay a 5 star experience! (I’d give them 6 stars if I could!) With thoughtful touches like a welcome basket of goodies (including a parking permit for our car!), a fridge stocked with waters, an abundance of Nespresso coffee, luxurious bedding and towels, and top quality bathroom essentials, this airbnb rivaled any luxury hotel, yet still felt inviting and “homey”. Communication was great from start to finish. Brian and Alaina were always more than available to answer questions in a timely and thorough manner, but are very respectful of guests’ privacy. Their digital guidebook is awesome with detailed descriptions of all amenities inside the apartment, as well as all the great spots to visit in their historic neighborhood and beyond. The location is perfect - walking distance to Georgetown’s shops and restaurants, Dupont circle, Georgetown U, and the waterfront restaurants along the Potomac, and a short driving distance to the national mall. (or a nice 30 minute walk, if you prefer!) A pretty park and quaint markets within just blocks from the apartment make you feel like a real local!
The only downside to Brian and Alaina’s “Gtownbnb” is that it raises the bar considerably for any future Airbnb choices. You’d be hard pressed to find another one like it! We hope to be back someday!
