Ben's place exceeded my expectations - from the cleanliness to the stylishness of the decor...it's obvious he put a lot of thought into designing the interior. Touches like full-sized toiletries, extra towels, quality dinnerware and cookware, a pair of umbrellas in case it rained (which it did), and a full selection of spices in case I decided to cook differentiated the experience. There were two large Roku-enabled TVs - one in the living room and one in the bedroom - both equipped with Cable, Netflix, and Pandora provided the creature comforts we're accustomed to at home.
Ben's hospitality equaled the impressiveness of his space. He was super-responsive from the time I inquired about the place until the moment I left. Check-in/Check-out was hassle-free. Also, the bottle of wine he dropped off in a gift bag did not disappoint. We had an awesome time in DC and it was in part due to our accommodations. We will DEFINITELY use this space the next time we visit.
