This was our first AirBnB experience, and I am glad to say that we very much liked it and are in for more.
We loved every part of our stay: Chris' friendly way of making us feel at home, the comfortable and clean apartment, the extremely comfy beds as well as the complimentary organic breakfast items.
The location is very convenient: restaurants, bakeries and a supermarket are close by and it is just a short walk to Columbia Heights Metro Station. In spite of being so close to everything, the area is quiet, and each night was very relaxing. Parking your car in the street seemd safe, and there is no problem of finding a spot (however, be aware that the car needs to be moved on Tuesdays due to street cleaning!).
Would we stay at Chris' B&B again? Definitely YES!
