So we had a conference in Alexandria and I had been so busy leading up to our trip I had forgotten to look into booking a hotel in the city since we delayed flying back home for a few days to catch the Cherry Blossoms. WOW the hotel prices were at least double what they are in the fall or just about any time you go to DC.
I found Ken's house and was shocked at the low price- sort of felt like it was too good to be true but thought I'd look into it anyway. We decided on it as it was close to where we wanted to be and had hundreds of great reviews.
It did not disappoint- it is a "tiny" house but honestly that doesn't bother me at all since we mostly came there to run and spend time in the museums. It truly was just a bed to sleep in at night.
That said it was one of the cleanest airbnbs I've ever stayed in (we stay in at least 3/year) and really was a great location- around 2 mi from the Capitol.
The area itself is much more quiet than other parts of the city which was nice at night. There are some really cool houses to look at as you head into downtown or Capitol hill so we weren't ever bored going back and forth.
Honestly, you really can't beat it for the price- you just aren't going to find anything that nice for the low rate they are offering the home for!
Ken and his wife are super accommodating and very friendly!
