We had a great visit at D’s place. The house was just like the pictures and was very comfortable. Great views from the bedrooms. The amenities were basic, but quite handy - we washed clothes and used the Keurig coffee maker every day.
Check in was very smooth and the info provided made it easy.
The hosts were very responsive when we had questions or minor issues.
The living room tv was having some issues, but we were able to work around it, using the Amazon fire stick we travel with.
The location is pretty convenient and very centrally located. There were lots of local residents walking around at all times of day and night, so it felt quite safe. We took Ubers to get around town, which was very economical. If you’re into public e-bikes/ scooters, that’s also a good transportation option.
There were also charming neighborhood markets (Rafael Grocery and LeDroit Market) within a block or two to get quick items. And there are a number of restaurants very close. Pizarro is one block away and had great pizza!
We parked our car on the street very close to the house and had no issues.
A couple of things to note:
-The house is on a busy street and intersection, which is pretty noisy at night, especially Saturday nights. A hospital is also nearby, so ambulances seem pass by regularly. The host does have ear plugs for guests, but those that are sensitive to traffic noise may not like it. (It was not an issue for us.)
-The house has a pretty steep winding staircase, so it may not be great for the elderly or anyone who has difficulty with stairs.
We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
