We received a lot of great information about the area before arrival, and the self check-in was easy and well-described. Unfortunately, the parking permit wasn't readily available which became a minor inconvenience for us as we had to pick it up with Orestes at the police station (we appreciated the tour he gave us of the area on this ride though!). Once we had the permit, we didn't have any problem finding street parking near the Airbnb. The apartment itself is beautiful, and we appreciated the Keurig in the mornings! We also thought the mattresses were quite comfortable, and the sheets were so soft. The neighborhood is quiet and within walking distance of the National Mall as well as many recommended restaurants. Cristina and Orestes's apartment is all-in-all a great value!
