If I could give this Airbnb 6 out of 5 stars I would.
Barry was by far the most responsive and helpful Airbnb host I’ve encountered with every response to a question I had being answered immediately by him. I didn’t have to worry about anything while staying at this beautiful home.
The most important thing about this place is THE PARKING SPACE! If you have been to DC you will know that finding parking can be a nightmare (as proven to us when we tried to go out for dinner/drinks) and having that parking spot specifically for us with a garage door no less was crucial for us. If there was a place with only on street parking we would have never found a spot whenever we came back to the Airbnb because the streets were filled with cars 24/7.
There was plenty of silverware, dishes, etc, a bunch of tea and a nice big fridge for food we got during our stay. The kitchen was equipped with everything and more, and the cushioned bench seats in the kitchen with the tv was a great touch and nice to relax at while having breakfast or dinner.
The patio was very nice, we unfortunately didn’t use it much due to the weather being a bit too chilly during our stay but once the warm weather rolls around that would be perfect to sit out and relax or have a cocktail.
The bedrooms were all amazing, and some of the comfiest beds we’ve ever slept in. Each of us (three) had our own bedroom and tv and our own bathroom as well (the two bedrooms on the top floor have bathrooms attached and the second floor with the biggest room has it’s bathroom right down the hall). And there was also a bathroom on the first floor if we needed. The water pressure and temperature for the showers were all perfect, which we were hoping for because we’ve been to places with very low water pressure or hot/lukewarm water that only lasted about 5-10 minutes, so we were very thankful to have great showers here. There were plenty of towels and facecloths for us to use so we didn’t have to worry about running out.
The living room was beautiful with one of her biggest TV’s I’ve seen in person in a while. There were plenty of board/card games and also video games/movies for us to use as well as Hulu, Netflix, etc across all TVs in the house (5 total)
Check-in was very easy, once we parked and got inside there were laminated pages of what to do during checkout, as well as lists of places to go for food or drinks, emergency rooms, convenience stores, etc. so we did not have to worry about researching to find anything. Checkout was very simple, just emptying the trash and recycling into the bins outside and starting the dishwasher/turning off the lights in the house, nothing strenuous at all.
The location is great, in a quiet neighborhood but not too far from any nightlife or restaurants in DC. The farthest we traveled for a place we wanted to go was 10 minutes max. I do recommend possibly ubering or taking a Lyft every now and then because as I mentioned before, parking can be a nightmare if you don’t know exactly where to go.
Overall this was the best Airbnb experience we’ve had so far and we would love to come back soon thanks to Barry’s amazing hospitality :)
