Gloria’s stylish, compact, and delightful flat in the heart of DC’s very secure, peaceful embassy district feels almost Parisian, with its little balconies overlooking the street, and a tall spiral staircase connecting the two floors. The clean space, a supremely comfortable mattress, and somewhat spotty wifi gave us a chance to just relax. Communicating with Gloria was a pleasure, and we felt like her personal guests. This is what Airbnb feels like at its best.
