We stayed just under a month at this apartment. The place itself is spacious and comfortable. It is easy to get around, whether walking or on Metro. We had a car with us, but after arriving and parking the car, we didn't move it until we pulled it out to leave.
There are several maintenance issues with this unit. The dryer doesn't work correctly (partway through a cycle it gives an error message and stops running). The wall mounted drying rack is completely broken (prior to our arrival) as are the lids of the bathroom trashcans. The skillets need to be replaced. The air-conditioning remote works only sporadically (there is only one unit and it is in the living room area).
Check in was... challenging. We had messaged through the app with the owner regarding our anticipated arrival time and confirming that someone would be there to meet us. About an hour before our anticipated arrival, when we could see more clearly what time we would actually be there, we messaged to let the owner know that we would arrive 20 minutes earlier than originally anticipated.
This building is on a busy street, but when we arrived, noone was there to greet us or to let our car into the garage. We were lucky to find a parking space across the street and down a ways, and so we pulled in and sent a message to the owner. We did not get any response and nobody came. We waited ten minutes and sent another message. We waited another ten minutes. The time we had originally settled on came and went. We tried calling and did not get through. The owner returned our call a few minutes later to tell us that the person was leaving his home over in Gaia. 15 minutes later, she sent a photo of some traffic. We waited some more and then sent another message, since Google maps said it should only take 20 minutes in the current traffic- meaning that had he left after he was supposed to have met us, he still should have arrived already. She told us to just pull our car in front of the garage door (but while we were standing there, two separate cars went through the garage door, which we would have blocked). She said he should be there in another 10 or 15 minutes....
We had only paid for an hour of parking and were about to add more, since it was expiring (we had been waiting for an hour) when the person finally showed up to let us in.
He was very nice. But I have never had such a frustrating check in experience with AirBnB, being left waiting with a car on a busy street during rush hour.
We gave this place four stars because it genuinely is a good value. But a very small investment on the owner's part could fix these issues and make this a stellar place.
