UrbanTurf Reader Asks: Should I Rent Out My Condo Through Airbnb?: Figure 1

In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a DC homeowner who is considering renting out a bedroom or his whole condo through Airbnb is looking to hear from city residents who have been successful in doing so.

I own an 1,100 square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath condo in between Logan Circle and Dupont Circle, and I have recently considered renting out the empty bedroom or the whole apartment (when I go away) through Airbnb. I am curious if any DC residents have done this and if the experience has been positive. I am also interested in what the appropriate price would be and if there are things I need to watch out for. Thanks in advance.
