These hosts are some of the kindest I've met in my decade of using this platform. They met us at the door when they saw we were struggling (I was traveling with three kids and an older adult) and carried all our bags upstairs. We got there a little earlier than planned, and they quickly finished tidying up the apartment so we could get checked in. Rapid communication was another plus. Area was within walking distance to metro. Grocery store is a 20 minute walk (Shaw's). Plenty of places to eat within 10-15 minute walk.
