Lots of stuff wrong with this house; many blinds broken, window in the front room won't stay open (broken), also needed black-out curtains on the front windows as the street lights came in, the bottom bedroom cold, and its bathroom colder, rinky-dink plastic doors on 2 of the bedrooms, and the front bunkbed is very rickety. TV kept switching itself off while we were watching it.
We were told to throw the trash bags out back, but the dumpster was chained shut (and the back area trashy). We just left it in the house.
Worst of all was that the host was unresponsive at important times, like when we were trying to get into the house at check-in time. Gave me the wrong door code, and then didn't pick up the phone 3 times when I called to get the right one. My brother in law was left out in the cold for 30-40 minutes, in a very cold freak snowstorm.
There was a nice keurig coffee maker, but no pods were supplied. We could have brought some from home if we knew that, it should be mentioned in the ad.
It was evident that many corners were cut in remodeling and the owners were trying to be as cheap as possible in renovating and running the place. Which is a shame because this is a beautiful and gracious old house, which could be gorgeous.
Kitchen appliances were OK, all worked.
The place was very clean.
The area was noisy on a Saturday night, people out partying.
Close to the Metro, and the amazing Chinatown gate.
I would not rent this house again. Owners should live there for a few days to see improvements they could make. Not worth the money they charged.
