I can't say enough about how amazing that Shaun's place was. It was very clean/orderly and cozy. Shaun is such a cool person & I enjoyed the couple of interactions that I had with him. My boyfriend and I didn't understand the transit options around the area very much, but the AirBnB is only about 15ish minutes away from DC's center if you take a (very cheap, I might add) Uber or Lyft. We appreciated the fact that the neighborhood was very peaceful/safe and would highly recommend that you stay at Shaun's place for your trip to DC!
