Maureen and her family were exceptionally welcoming, which was greatly appreciated as I was new to the area and looking for permanent housing. Their home is located in a pleasant suburban neighborhood at the edge of the District, but it is convenient walking distance to the Friendship Heights Metro stop (which I used often), numerous bus stops, and local attractions. In addition to the comfortable accommodations and sense of friendly familiarity, Maureen and her husband also provided me with insights about different neighborhoods during my search, as well as recommendations about places to go and things to see.

In short, it was a wonderful experience for my first stay using airbnb, and I would gladly recommend Maureen as a host.
