If your visiting to visit the monuments this is a great location, it sits a few minutes walk from either the 70 and 64 bus line. Which will take you directly to the Smithsonian and back from them. The neighborhood might look sketchy, but it’s not. The host was really kind when we needed detergent to wash clothes.
But that is where I had to mark off a half a star. The dryer didn’t work, but if it did there was a gummy type material inside of the dryer. I saw that and didn’t bother to check the washer.
The other 1/2 star was the toilet situation, we had to lift the fill valve after ever flush so the tank could fill back up with water. The host came and gave me the info on how to do it. We just left the tank cover off to make it easier.
One more thing, while we we out sightseeing we got a message saying that the “architect” needed to go in and “take measurements”. We stayed at a lot of airbnbs but never had something like this occur. Nothing sketchy happened that we know of though
