Location: The location of the rental was great! I am very familiar with the D.C. metro area and I was in town with my sister attending Howard University's Homecoming. Everything that we wanted to do was right in the vicinity of where we were staying which was great. The downfall is beware of Bambi! lol there is a park nearby and there is a deer that was out every night, although he was cute... my sister and I were on high alert. Overall the location of the property worked great with everything that we wanted to do. We caught an uber to everything we did which is pretty cheap.
Noise: We made sure to keep our noise level to a minimum esp since there was no specifications on the site when booking. However I can't say the same for the people upstairs. The first night was fine, however after that there was a lot of noise being made from the people above us. If they weren't walking on the floor extremely hard (sounded like stomping of someone running), they were shouting and slamming doors. It got so bad the the last day that my sister and I were glad to leave because it sounded too serious. There was a lot of noise pretty much every night making it difficult for my sister to sleep (She slept in the living room on the pull out bed).
Communication: Communication with Sean was great leading up to our stay, however, he sent us an email checking in to see if we needed anything and we requested an extra pillow and an extra roll of toilet paper if they were available and not only did we not receive these items, he ever got back to me until the last day when he asked me what time we were planning on checking out :(
Misc: The comfort of the place was great, I would recommend putting a full length body mirror somewhere in the rental just so people can see what they look like (women would appreciate this and men too). Also, since this rental is "in the cut" it would be nice if the outside light worked so that we can see at night (we used our flashlights on our phone). There were waters that were in the fridge for us which was a bonus! (Thank you). The Wifi worked great the first day, but after that it declined and stopped working for my sister and I (we both have different service providers so it wasn't just our phones).
Cleanliness: The unit was clean upon our arrival.
Overall: Overall it was a nice experience for this to be my first Airbnb, however next time I will be sure to rent an entire home not a basement just so I can try to avoid all of these issues.
