Pros:
- Amazing location close to restaurants/shops on U St and 14th, and to the DC Metro.
- Well equipped kitchen with stocked pantry.
- Good heating system that got us through the coldest days of the year.
Things to note:
- Old/minimal furniture: The couch was old, falling apart and wasn’t comfortable to sit on. The coffee table was a used kitchen countertop installed on caster wheels. None of these were pictured in the listing photos. Other furniture like dining table and chairs were old and squeaky.
- This unit is in the basement of a row house. The unit upstairs is also a vacation rental and the ceiling isn’t sound proof so we heard the people upstairs walking about a lot.
- Other maintenance issues: The smoke detector in the living room/kitchen was missing (wires were protruding from wall). The gasket of the sink disposal is installed backwards, so the sink doesn’t drain properly.
- Owner seemed to only be responsive to safety issues and not to other inquiries.
