Eric was a great host. We texted him when we arrived at the airport, and he promptly responded, welcoming us to Washington and telling us to let him know if we needed anything. There was a welcome packet upon our arrival at his home with helpful information regarding nearby restaurants, grocery stores, and transportation. His parking pass was very useful for parking our rental car on the street. Although we had a rental car, we found that Uber was affordable and the best way to get around the city. It was fast and convenient. The listing description was very accurate. The neighborhood was family friendly with a park nearby. My wife, two teenage sons, and I were comfortable walking to and from the home each day, especially at night. There was always people walking up and down the street and around the neighborhood. The home is within walking distance of the Capitol and Library of Congress, with the National Mall approximately a half mile walk from there. This family vacation was our first Airbnb experience and will definitely not be our last. Eric's home was our perfect home away from home.
