Main Issue:
We checked in on Friday, May 29th. We were notified by text message at 2:41 PM on Saturday, May 30th that the home owner's granddaughter's party in the gated area had started at 2:00 PM. You can see this gated area in the photos. We were not told of this party and were notified 40 minutes after it started. We were invited to the party in the same text message. After the whole day walking around the national mall, we had planed on enjoying the bottle of Billecart-Salmon, Brut Rose, Mareuil-Sur-Ay, France NV Champagne we purchased, but instead left because of the noise. The place had trash everywhere when the party ended, and the trash was still there the next morning when we checked out.

We were notified a few hours before check-in that the bedroom AC was dripping and a bucket had been placed to catch the water. We arrived and seeing no bucket thought the problem had been remedied. However, we awoke to a large puddle and ended up using the towels provided by the host to clean up the mess. We used a can that originally held an umbrella to catch the water. We used the towels because we didn't want anyone slipping or for the water to result in damage to the floor.

Overall it was a nice place to sleep and the inside of the place clean. Quiet neighborhood. It is a 15 minute walk to the US Capitol building, but I would honestly not have stayed had I known a party was going to be going on the day of our stay. The AC dripping was no issue, but there should have been a bucket in place as indicated. Would not rent from again.
