Ken and Nicole were both extraordinarily welcoming and gave great recommendations on places to see and eat around town. We were lucky enough to meet them and they were kind enough to lend us their printer. Their backyard cabin proved perfect for us while staying in DC. It was cozy and quaint and had everything we needed and then some. Having a kitchenette and bar to eat at was really nice - we often made coffee and had a light breakfast in the cabin before seeing the sights and exploring H street. If you love food, drinks and good times, we highly recommended exploring nearby (10 minute leisure walk) H street and the numerous restaurants and bars along the road. Must visits include: Granville Moore's (get the mussels no matter what and feel no guilt while requesting more bread to sop up the broth - literally life changing) and Toki Underground (make reservations well in advance and don't leave without pork belly). Biergarten Haus was also great during happy hour if you like German beer. Lastly, if you plan to spend a lot of time visiting the sights get a metro pass, and consider the extremely close bikeshare to get to the metro as the walk to Eastern Market Metro Station can be a bit longer than expected (especially if its cold outside).

Overall we had a great first experience using Airbnb and it's really thanks to Ken and Nicole and their lovely cottage. Would highly recommend this location to any friend or family member! A huge thanks to our hosts and hope to see them again soon.
