  Gena was a generous and hospitable host. The room was great as was the private bathroom. The home is close walking distance to the Metro and also had a great grocery store and variety of amazing restaurants within easy to get to on foot. This was my first time using airbnb. I'm sold!

  Cozy house, awesome bed and a good location (close to metro and supermarket). This was my first Airbnb experience and although it was a very short stay I would definitely recommend it. Getting from here to the main attractions in DC was super easy and Gena is a great host!

  Gena was a great host and her house was comfortable and quirky. It was located close to a Metro stop, and also a short walk from the Eastern Market district where there was lots of great food and bars. Thanks, Chris

  Juan

  Where to start! The place was cleaner than most hotel room, tons of clean towers, soap, shampoo, drinking water, juices and BEER! Gina was wonderful! flexible with my crazy schedule and so hospitable! The bedroom feels like a boutique hotel, very unique, so quiet, dark when you want it to be…. I love the oversize mirror and the art. Gina clearly has some great knowledge and understanding about hospitality. The location was just perfect, I paid $14.50 for a taxi to the airport and $7 to $9... More »

  Gena was a very gracious hostess and her home was charming and attractive. She was also very nice to me by inviting me to her birthday party which, although I was easily the "elder guest," was a lot of fun and her friends are nice, interesting people. Her cat, whose name escapes me, has a very pleasant personality and was good company! The location was very convenient for bus and subway access and there was a nice selection of restaurants just a few blocks away. All in all, a very nice... More »

  This was a pleasant stay in a clean medium size room with a joining private bathroom. The street was quiet and the public rooms were limited to a backyard and a kitchen, stocked with all sorts of drinks and snacks and breakfast foods. I would stay here again. Not having a radio and/.or a TV was both a plus and minus. I would have liked to have zonked out with a TV but instead I had a longer and more restful overnight sleep.

  It was a pleasure staying at Gena's Hospitality@HillEast. As a first-time visitor to Washington DC, her quaint house was a true home away from home. I wanted a comfortable and convenient location near a Metro station and that is exactly what I got. Oh, and the bed sleeps like a dream! Gena's friendly hospitality was great. I arrived much later than anticipated due to my flight being delayed, but this was no trouble to Gena. She also provided valuable information on transportation from Dulles... More »

  Gena was a fabulous host! Her home was immaculate, the bed comfy, and she was quite friendly and full of great recommendations. AND, she provided a fabulous array of breakfast snacks! If I come back to DC any time soon, I will be requesting another stay at Gena's!

  Gena is terrific. She was a perfect host, even going so far as to open up her medicine cabinet to me when I came down with flu symptoms! She showered me with herbs and vitamins too. I greatly appreciated her hospitality and highly recommend her to other airbnb users.

  Jeremy

  Gena's a great host, and had no problem accommodating my late night arrival. The room is nice with your own bathroom, and the location is conveniently a block and a half from the Metro. Nice to stay away from my normal locations downtown, near Dupont Cirlce or Georgetown, and see a different part of the city. Thanks, Gena.

  Jiang

  Steffanie

  I had a great stay with Gena! Her house is beautiful, is conveniently located close to the Metro, and Gena was very accommodating with my trip schedule.

  Rachael

  Gena was great. Her place is well-located and comfortable. She provided a comfortable place for my dad during his visit. He was near the metro and the supermarket (and of course me!). If you are coming from the arid West however (like my dad), beware of the humidity and temperature, he did have a hard time adjusting to that in and out of doors.

  Kate

  My stay with Gina exceeded all my expectations! I was staying on business in Washington, and would definitely stay there again. The house was lovely, and the location was perfect, just a few blocks away from the Metro. The room and bathroom were spotless, and the bed was really comfortable. Gina was a perfect host, and was very helpful in giving me directions downtown, as well as pointing out good local spots to eat. Definitely recommended.

  Merrill

  The room is nice and Gena is a generous host. There is a private bathroom adjacent to the room for the guest's use. The bed is comfy too, with nice bedding. Gena provides towels, shamposs and other amenities. However, the room lacks a clock and a television. The kitchen has all modern conveniences and Gena provides breakfast. The house is very clean and is three blocks from the Potomac Ave. Metro on the Orange and Blue Line. It is only ten minutes from the Smithsonian stop. Gena provides... More »

  Gena was a fantastic hostess. I was very comfortable at her place & would definitely consider returning! Thank you, Gena.

  Barbara

  Gena was TERRIFIC. The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The location just two blocks from the Metro and then two stops from the Capitol was perfect. Gena was a lovely and gracious host. Provided everything I needed and then much more.

  The room is cozy and warm, I can use my own bathroom. Location is another advantage, close to the metro station. She provide towel, full toilet product, shampoo, conditinor and lotion. She was kind and cool!! Thanks gena!!

  Gena was truly friendly and hospitable; the room was comfortable and well appointed, and the bathroom, though not brand-new was pleasant, with little samples of just about anything one might need. Don't be put off by the little shabbiness of the street. Inside, you'll find warmth and Gena's true wish to make you happy. The only things that were not entirely satisfactory may have been unique to my visit: When I arrived, Gena was not there, and I had to phone her to find out where she was... More »

  Gena is great. Warm and generous and a hospitality pro!! Room is great, and separate bathroom is clean and nice. Reasonably nice neighborhood, and very close to Route 95 so an easy exit even in rush hour. Bed is a little soft for my taste. I like my bed hard. As someone with chemical sensitivities, I reacted to some extra fragrance in the air due to a fragrance plug in. Gena said it was temporary and promised to get rid of the plug-in immediately. I believe her. Overall, I'd... More »

  Gena is great and the bed was super comfortable. The use of your own bathroom is also great and Her personality allows you to hang with her or leave her alone whatever you choose. The Cat is also very cute..:O) Thanks Gena I will most definitely keep you on my list of places to stay.

  PERFECT! +++ Gena's place is SUPER CONVENIENT +++ metro = 4 min. walk + upscale grocery w/ prepared foods (sushi, salads,etc.) and all essentials = 2 min. walk + library of congress = 20 min. walk + Ted's Bulletin Restaurant (my new fave) = 20 min. walk) +++ And she's a really LOVELY HOST +++ left me an orange juice in the fridge every day + let me use her kitchen/dishes etc. while she was away at work + thought of everything (umbrella, full box...

  She is a wonderful host and her house is clean, comfortable and very convenient to the metro. She has a lot of goodies for breakfast and was very nice to have coffee in the morning and at all other times. Had a great stay and definitely will stay at her place again.

  her house is THE spot in DC. I constantly return here in this beautiful nice house. The room is cozy and warm with a nice private toilet, enjoying a quiet neighborhood. Location is key. As Us Correspondent I find essential the vicinity with the metro station, 2 stops form capitol hill, 6 from the White House and 10 minutes from the airport, comfortable spots to park Gena is a master in hospitality as she's a professional hotel manager. In her house she shows this skill at best. She... More »

  We were at Gena's for 2 nights and had a great time. It's a cozy and clean place. The neighborhood is safe and very close to a lot of places like harris etc...She helped us out quite a bit the in and arounds of the city. Her hospitality was very warm n friendly. She is my Washington GPS.
