Kristin’s place is great. Conveniently close to everything you’d want to see in DC. I personally had a rental car but I think lyft/Uber and public transport would be really easy from this location.
The apartment was beautiful, and (thank the lord) air conditioned. Bed was comfortable, bathroom and “kitchenette” were very clean.
As forewarned in the listing it is an older house, when the family is home, you can hear footsteps and plumbing; but nothing that would discourage me from coming back.
Would 110% stay again, the price for this place really is a steal for the area.
The only reason I’m giving this four stars and not five is because of the our check in difficulties. The message with our check in directions never successfully delivered while our host was out of town, leaving my boyfriend and I to sleep in our rental car the first night.
For what it’s worth both Kristin and Airbnb were very apologetic and accommodating the second day of our stay. And I do genuinely feel like it was out of character for the host. Kristin really did her best to make up for the hiccup the rest of our stay.
Hope saying that doesn’t discourage anyone from staying here, just forewarning be proactive with every Airbnb stay. This incident was partially my fault for not paying attention during travel to this location. I didn’t reach out to the host for check in instructions until close to 10pm. Especially if you’re traveling as far as I am, follow up RIGHT at check in time for the listing you choose. I’ve done Airbnb enough times I was over confident in reliability, apps mess up sometimes. Be proactive.
Thanks again Kristin, your home is beautiful. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time.
