Pros: great location, close to Metro stops, owner response time
Cons: private hostel; 2 small units with shared exterior hallway to fit a large group. Shower facilities & main kitchen are in shared space downstairs; bathrooms smelled of sewage and tables were splintered fiberboard. Units have tiny kitchenette and smelly, tiny toilet rooms, no towels to dry hands. 1 bath towel per person for entire week.
No common area large enough for group. Furnishings are in disrepair, ex: broken, plastic stackable chairs. Nobody could sleep on that sofa. Light fixtures had missing & burned-out bulbs; holes and cracks all over walls covered with curtains.
Uncomfortable beds with ruts. 2 BRs had beds jammed from wall to wall - had to crawl in from the foot; no furniture except for rickety wire racks.
Owner asked for only 5-star reviews or else keep quiet. I cannot do that. I am not fussy or demanding. This is a shabby, rundown, neglected place that is horribly overpriced & misrepresented.
