I had many concerns and worries; some about using airbnb, some about staying in someone's home as a family with kids, and some about what we might miss in from a hotel.
There was nothing to complain about, and all the worrying was unnecessary. Although we didn't meet David and Kate, it is very clear that they go above and beyond to make sure their home is comfortable and enjoyable.
From my first nervous inquiry to booking to checking out, Kate responded quickly, kindly, and was very helpful. Finding the home is easy, we were happy to have a place to park, and everything was orderly and smooth.
The home is clean, roomy, well equipped, and safe. There was a good iron, two air mattresses, extra linens, and the hot water lasted!!!! Oh - bonus - we put the four kids in one room on a queen bed and queen air mattress and we got to sleep very well on the king in the other room alone and quiet!
The neighborhood is quiet. We enjoyed the less than 10 minute walk to the metro. We actually used the one on 52nd instead of 61st. Walking up and down Roosevelt was nice and we enjoyed a couple restaurants there.
I wouldn't even think of 'chance-ing it' at another location when we return, we'll definitely come to David and Kate.
