My objective review will be as follows:
Selina and Veronica have been very communicative throughout my stay. Check-in instructions are clear and they allowed me to check out at a later time during the day, which demonstrates their flexibility. They fixed the shower head as soon as I made comments abo about it, which shows their responsiveness. The equipment and appliances are functional. The AC is pretty strong so the temperature is well maintained at night. There are plenty of parking spaces available on the street; I was scared to park on the street at first but then I realized it’s a relatively safe area.
Regarding things that I did not expect throughout my stay:
- the wireless internet is suboptimal, the speed was very slow and I couldn’t do a video call using the internet
- the pests have been an issue throughout my stay (considering the summer weather); even though they have a bug spray available, it caused some inconvenience
- they do have appliances and utensils available but kitchen appliances like pots and pans were used and scratched up, the cleaning supplies are used and old
- there’s a TV but no cable available; there’s no desk either in case you wonder if there’s space to sit and that you need to do some office work
- there’s no washer/dryer available in the basement, so you will need to reach out to them or their house manager to have the access to the washer/dryer
- there’s no soap or shampoo available in the shower
They certainly have the minimal supplies available, the things that I mentioned above are certainly not detrimental and they are easy fixes. I would still recommend to stay there if you are looking for a place to stay with low value in DC!
