I really enjoyed my stay! I came to DC for a month for work and to look around for a possible longer stay. I chose an AirBnb since they come furnished with all the little things: plates, spatulas, sheets, laundry detergent, etc. Alexandra's AirBnB was just wonderful for my month stay. They did such a great job creating a comfortable studio out of a row house's basement apartment. I felt very safe and comfortable. There's a motion light both inside and outside when coming back at night. Though a basement, it has three full-sized windows at the front and one at back. The location is fantastic. I really warmed up to the Shaw District. Its tree-lined streets, local restaurants, and Metro stop only two blocks away. Anywhere I walked, there was always someone else walking, biking, or riding a scooter. There's murals, public art, and and living history. There's traffic, but not super busy traffic like downtown. I worked from home, and there would be a siren about 5 times a day or a car playing loud music as it waited for the red light but that was the most noise disturbance. Because it's a basement apartment, you do have to take about five stone steps and they are a little steep and uneven. The people in the apartment above are quiet but you can hear the footsteps but I liked that since I stayed there by myself. It made me feel better to know other people were around. You share the washer and dryer with the apartment above but it was never a problem and the w/d are fancy and work great. The grocery store is about three blocks away and it's huge. Alexandra was quick to answer any texts but I didn't need too much - everything was available already. I arrived and could start working from home and get to exploring DC right away. I really could've stayed 3 months!
