Dawn was a wonderful host! Quick to answer with suggestions of where to eat and if we needed anything. The neighborhood was nice and walkable. The pretzel bakery right down the street was incredible. If you use the metro, it is steps away, but if you plan on driving in to downtown, it can be a little confusing and takes about a half hour with traffic. Dawn left plenty of snacks and drinks which was a wonderful touch. The kitchen was nice to be able to cook dinner in and having the ice and water in the fridge was amazing. While the bathroom was nice, the shower was a little less clean than I would have liked.
Dawn did warn numerous times about the noise, but it was a little more than I expected. While it wasn’t a huge deal for us, there was running around starting at 7 am. Then in the evening it was very loud again up until about 9 pm.
Overall, the pros heavily outweigh the cons and I would definitely recommend Dawn’s place!
