Patrick and David were some of the best hosts I’ve encountered on Airbnb and their apartment was an amazing refuge for my sister and I who stayed during the beginning of the Covid outbreak to be near family. After staying for two weeks, we decided to extend our stay for another month because we loved it so much. Patrick and David happily accommodated us during this crazy time and we are so grateful. They were always responsive hosts and checked in on us periodically to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
The apartment itself was charming and comfortable- decorated in Washington themed decor. It was spotless when we checked in and thoroughly stocked with everything we needed to live comfortably during our long stay. There were pots and pans, toiletries we had forgotten in packing, laundry and an ironing board, clean towels and linens, board games, books, snacks and even a bottle of persecco waiting in the fridge upon arrival. They left a guidebook full of recommendations with things to do in the city and even Metro cards to make it easier to get around. It was a spacious and secure one bedroom basement apt set on a beautiful street in Bloomingdale walking distance from restaurants and parks, and about a 30 minute walk to the National Mall. The space truly felt like a home away from home in an uncertain, anxious time. We’ll be back- next time when the city is reopened and we can take advantage of their recommendations. I can’t recommend staying here highly enough for both the physical space and the thoughtfulness of the hosts!
