This was my first time staying in an Airbnb that was a room in a host's house (as opposed to renting an entire apartment/condo/etc). It could not have been a better experience! Maureen was quick to respond to all communication, and she and her husband met me right at the door to say hello and show me to my room. I was only in DC for an evening to visit a friend, and needed a cozy place to retire to at the end of the night. It was perfect! The neighborhood was quiet and safe - I actually walked back alone after midnight from my friend's and felt very safe walking around on the well-lit streets. Parking was really easy in this area as well. The room was clean, cozy, and quiet, with a comfortable mattress, central air, a ceiling fan, a coffee machine, mini-fridge, and even a little basket of fruit. The private bathroom was clean and well-lit. My favorite feature: the SOUND MACHINE! I sleep every night with a noise machine and was so happy to discover they had one in the room. Secondly: they had little lights that lit up going up the stairs when I came back after dark. Such thoughtful little touches! Even though I was only there for one night, I could've easily stayed several days. There is a CVS that's only a block or two away if you need to grab anything, and some nice little restaurants. Highly recommend Maureen's home to other guests! I will definitely be staying here again if I come back to the area.
