This was a great place to come back to after an all day of D.C. sightseeing and allowed us to have plenty of breakfast and snack goodies on hand. This was our first experience with Airbnb. If all hosts are as good as Jenny and details provided as accurate, we'll be back with Airbnb in the future! The description of this place are very accurate. It's basically the private-entry "basement" of the owner's home, but very nicely furnished. Detailed directions, maps, restaurant recommendations, and nearby store and attractions info are all provided in a binder that the host provides. Basic amenities are all provided and there is a washer/dryer as well (you provide laundry soap). Directions are accurate -- it is .6 mi from the Green metro line (Columbia Heights) and a Target, Giant, and Chick-Fil-A are near that Metro stop as well. There are stairs down to the place, so if walking and/or stairs are a concern, this may not be right for you. There is a bus stop almost within sight of the front sidewalk, but we took the Metro or Lyft directly into D.C. Lyft was a 4 mile ride to the Mall. We traveled with our 2 grown sons (22 and 25), so having a trundle bed (2 Twin size) was perfect for everyone to have a bed. Beds were super comfy and plenty of pillows and linens are provided. The bedroom does have an interior door, so that's convenient for family members who might not be night owls and a sound machine in the bedroom was great for blocking out the noise of those who were still up. Very quiet location except for the slight footsteps of those above which is common in townhouse or apartment setting. However, the steps were during regular "awake" hours and certainly did not keep us up. Jenny provides a french press with whole bean coffee and instructions for those not familiar with a french press (only downside the 2 cup at a time limit for those used to a full pot!) Definitely beats a hotel stay! Oh, and the zoo is roughly .5 mi walk through the very nice Mt. Pleasant neighborhood. The neighbors we encountered were friendly and we saw lots of dog walkers each day. Jenny was super responsive and quickly provided more washcloths for the 4 of us when asked. I'd highly recommend this location and host.
