Very interesting place--not traditional at all, but kind of cool. Wish it were cleaner, though, and that the hosts (Superhosts?) put a little more thought into how to make their space comfortable for a guest.
This feels like a place where someone lives full time but vacates when they have a rental. This is not always a bad thing, except you want the resident to not just bang out of there, but instead to take some care with their space before leaving, to prepare for having guests. Example: Give the place a good solid cleaning (bathroom and kitchen especially. Shower had hairs in it/had not been cleaned. Kitchen surfaces felt grimy, sometimes greasy, so we didn't want to cook there, and, while I'm not the cleanest person at home, felt I had to wipe down the kitchen table and benches before we could eat there. Washing machine was really really dirty. We desperately needed it after being on the road for a few weeks. Owners said that guests never ask to use it--but it is listed as an amenity, so it should be clean).
Example: Store some personal items so there's room for guests to store their own clothes and things. Every cabinet, closet, etc, was full.
Example: There aren't a ton of lights, and it's pretty hard to find the switches for them. This makes it hard to navigate the apartment in the evening.
Wi-fi was super spotty, sometimes it worked, sometimes not, and this messed with our plans to download audio guides, etc.
Pluses: Location is good--close to a couple Metro lines. Flat has tons of space (large adult bedroom, small kids bedroom, humongous living room (with huge couch that probably sleeps two), and good-sized kitchen/dining area). Fun decor and stuff--kids absolutely loved the foosball machine, and our youngest loved the kids room. Beds were pretty comfy, too. Also, owner is super nice, and was flexible when our arrival time changed repeatedly due to delayed flights
Last comment: this is a bizarro place. Like no other place we ever rented before (But you probably know this from the pictures). This could be good, if it were cleaner, but it's so big and full of knickknacks, etc, I'm not sure they can really _get_ it clean. And if you can't deal with an unconventional living space, pass this one by. Still, we made the most of it, and didn't feel like we had to vacate.
