We stayed at Maria's place for two weeks in the spring of 2020. We made a last-minute booking because another place fell through and we couldn't have been happier with the warm welcome and incredible responsiveness from Maria. The little touches like having music playing and some water and snacks waiting for us at check in were amazing. The place itself is an 'english basement' in a really hip area of NW D.C. The apartment was bright, clean and modern, with really cool artwork throughout. The furniture was all very tasteful and comfy, and the place made a great home away from home. We were there during the COVID19 scare so we didn't get to experience a lot of the area, but the nearby restaurants that were open and proving takeaway service (including drinks!) were great. If you are looking for a really nice base from which to explore D.C., Maria's place is a fantastic AirBnB.
