The accommodation provided by Rae exceeded expectations. It is described as a "peaceful oasis" and this couldn't be more accurate - the area is clean, quiet and very residential with many trees making it a perfect retreat after a day at work, or a day exploring the city.

I stayed in the room for one month and had a very pleasant experience. The bed was very large and comfortable. As an Irish girl who doesn't cope all that well with the heat - I appreciated the many air conditioners provided by Rae. There was more than adequate space for storing clothes/belongings for the entire month of my stay. Upon check in - Rae had provided mini chocolates, a carafe for water and mini bottles of shampoo. A really nice touch which makes one feel right at home after traveling such a long way. The bathroom is clean, beautifully decorated and the shower has good strong water flow.

Our check-in was conducted over the phone and Rae made sure that she went through everything thoroughly to settle me in. Throughout the stay Rae kept open lines of communication with me and checked in regularly.

The location is very safe and central to the centre of DC - a lovely 30 minute walk to Farragut Square area. 15 minute walk to central area of Dupont! The local area is very quiet. There is also a beautiful park within a short walking distance, and a supermarket which is very convenient to pick up bits of food. The kitchen is well stocked in the way of cooking equipment should you wish to cook. At the end of the road, (2 minutes walk) there is a bus stop which stand for 3 different buses to go to the city centre.

Rae is a professional Air B'n'B host and took the time to check in and make sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my stay, but balanced this with a respect for guest privacy. Rae was incredibly helpful throughout the duration of my stay - always willing to give time to recommend local restaurants or things to do in Washington which would be of interest. A very interesting woman and a great conversationalist - I learned a lot from our discussions throughout the month. The apartment is very good value for money - especially in the context of Washington D.C where prices ate expensive across the board.

I would happily stay here again and would like to thank Rae for welcoming me into her home!
