Dennis’s AirBnB can’t be beat for the price and the neighborhood. I would stay there again if I needed to be in the Palisades. I recommend it for something very specific: any marathon or half marathon from Fletcher’s Cove. That is why I was there. I am 99% sure the other guest, in the other room, was there for the very same reason. It is slightly more than a mile to the venue. That is about as close as you’d get, given the limited parking there. That would seem a limited reason to be in this location. I’ve run a half dozen races that start there though, coming from out of town. It also is easily walkable to the Palisades commercial strip.
If you are not familiar with this area, it is a narrow residential part of Washington, D.C., with mostly high end single family homes. There is a two block commercial strip with Blacksalt, a popular seafood restaurant; Kotobuki sushi; and a few other dining establishments. It is quiet and not readily accessible by Metro train — bus works. I have always liked the Palisades. I’ve remarked to my wife we should consider buying there if we move back to the city.
The unit is on the side of a house. There are two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. There is a very large common area and a kitchen. There is a washer and dryer on the floor below. That seems dedicated to several other apartment units. The host lives above. I bumped into him when he was cleaning up after the other guest. He was easy to work with; it’s a self check in system with a key code. The room was as described and clean. It was simple and serviceable.
