The positives:
- David's communication was lightening fast throughout the process. We wound up leaving a day early, and my refund was processing within 10 minutes of notifying David.
- Location! -- a quiet street but within walking distance of so much, including Howard University, the metro/bus lines, restaurants/bars
- A spacious kitchen and washer / dryer in the unit
- Stayed cool during hot weather
The downsides:
- The place needs some serious updates and better cleaning. Areas feel haphazard --you are greeted by a trashcan and empty bookcase in the little entryway, and there was a bunch of junk kinda thrown under the back patio steps; the area rugs and upholstery are seriously stained, the shower liner and around the bathroom faucets were moldy, and if I lifted anything, e.g pulled the curtains all the way back, dust bunnies came out in full force.
