We loved staying at Desiree’s place. It was a great spot for our DC trip and enough space for our family. The space was clean and the bed was comfy.

This was our first Airbnb experience...and it was a very successful one. Desiree's place was in a great location - quick walk to the Metro, and an easy walk to the National Mall. The apartment itself was lovely and very comfortable; it definitely felt like a "home away from home." (So much nicer and more spacious than a comparably-priced hotel!) Desiree was a gracious host who went out of her way to ensure that our visit was a smooth one. We had a wonderful DC visit, and our stay at Desiree's place added immensely to such a memorable trip.

I rented this apartment for my parents for a month, and they loved it! The apartment is brand new, it comes with everything you need, plus alarm system and central air as well. Also, there's a futon and extra blanket just in case. The location is very desirable, not only its steps away from metro station, and downtown area, it's also right next to a super market. How convenient!! Desiree was an amazing host, we booked the place a couple days prior to move in date, she was able to accommodate us with the short notice. I barely had any issue during the stay, whenever I had questions, Desiree usually replied within a couple hours or sooner. During our stay, my dad decided to rent a car for two weeks, Desiree was able to get us street parking permit right away. She is very friendly and delightful to work with. We would love to stay with Desiree again whenever we are in town. I highly recommend this apartment!!!!
