This was my first Airbnb experience, and I was pretty leery at the idea of using it. This place proved me completely wrong.
It’s one room and a bathroom, but it’s much larger than a typical hotel room, cost less for the weekend we were there, and it was so much more comfortable. We were able to park really easily and the car remained safe and unticketed all weekend.
It was a 5-10 minute walk to the metro station, super easy to Uber to and from the house, and we were even able to find those rentable scooters and mopeds within a block or so every time we looked. It was also an easy walk to some really cool bars on H street. And an easy walk back after drinking (which is saying something).
It definitely felt like we had our own apartment that we were able to come back to after doing stuff throughout the day and night. The place even had a chromecast, so we could watch Netflix from our phones.
Robert was a great host. He wasn’t intrusive at all, and the one time we needed some help, he was downstairs within 5 minutes. (FYI: You lift the door handle up to lock it. I made the mistake of not reading everything and this is why we needed his help. He was super cool about it.)
All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
