The apartment is conveniently located (5 mins to Metro), well stocked kitchen and bathroom, decorated nicely, and comfortable. We also found that it really needs a deep cleaning, needs a small table and chairs for eating, and we heard (lots of) noise from other apartments in the building and the hallway early in the morning and late at night. While communication with the host was ok once we were staying in the apartment, it was very challenging leading up to our arrival when I had a question about check in. Some improvements could make this apartment a better experience.
