Dan’s place has both pros and cons. It is close to the DC downtown area and close to some good H street areas. The place has good street parking and allows dogs. The rental is managed by a third party company that leaves a little welcome box upon arrival, which is nice. The kitchen is well-stocked and there are plenty of towels and pillows. The place is otherwise decorated pretty cute and there is attention to detail throughout.
As for the cons, the place was not as clean as the pictures showed. The walls throughout the place were very dirty and scuffed up. The bathroom was much smaller than what it looks like in pictures. Upon arrival, the closet door in the back was off track and the smoke detector was beeping due to a dying battery. We messaged Dan to let him know and he guided us to batteries for it but we weren’t able to locate them and just had to disconnect the alarm.
A major con for us was the neighborhood. It felt unsafe to be there. The door to the airbnb has a smart lock but the exterior door to the building is instructed to be left unlocked- which we felt uncomfortable with. It was fine for our stay but would probably not stay here again.
