Staying at Bryan and Chris’s place in Shaw was perhaps one of the best AirBnB experiences I’ve had. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a host that upholds the original beauty of AirBnB so genuinely - namely, of helping you feel like you aren’t just resting your head there at night, but actually, truly living in the home and in the neighborhood. As soon as I arrived, Bryan helped me out with a recovery cocktail when I had arrived worse for wear from festivities the night before, and we chatted and shared a beer or two on several nights of my stay, when our schedules coincided. His local insights are spot on - he’s been living in Shaw since long before the neighborhood began to gentrify - and he happily introduced me to many of his own friends and neighbors in the area, which made me feel so much more connected to the neighborhood and the city. His location in Shaw, maybe 3 blocks from public transit and easily walkable to any part of DC at all, was ideal and highly convenient. And Bryan’s attentiveness to my every need as a guest and his responsively to any issues was unparalleled. I would be thrilled to use Bryan and Chris’s place as home base for future visits in DC if they would have me, and I enthusiastically give Bryan’s place five stars across all major metrics. Thank you so much for such an incredible stay, guys!
