My husband and I are heading to Europe for 6 months and decided to break up our trip from the West Coast with a 7 night stay in DC. Its been many, many years since we have visited this city. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Emily's airbnb, location was perfect, apartment is modern and spacious. It had everything we needed for a great 7 night stay. We highly recommend Emily's, you can easily walk to many attractions, the Capitol, Smithsonian, shops and restaurants. We averaged 17,000 steps per day, walking everywhere. The location of the airbnb is safe and entry very secure. The absolute best part of our stay was Emily's guidebook. You can find it on her listing but she also has it in print for you in the apartment. We decided to follow the majority of her recommendations, it took us to parts of the city we would never have gotten to on our own. We loved our 7 day exploration of DC and surrounds! Thanks Emily and Karl, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
