I stayed here for a Capitol Hill internship. The communication with the host was quick and responsive. The concerns I raise below, I did not raise during my stay as I didn’t believe anything would change and I didn’t want an upset host.
The Pros:
The location is perfect for public metrobus transportation. The place is a 25 minute walk to the Capitol Building. The closest metro rail station is a 20 minute walk. The street also felt very safe compared to some DC neighborhoods. Two parks are within walking distance.
The value of the place is rather good as it includes a washer/dryer and a small kitchen.
On site, free parking is a great benefit!
The Cons:
A deep thorough clean of the entire apartment and steps would be helpful. The shower curtain, toilet base, and anything besides the surface areas were very dirty.
The common spaces were only cleaned once during my stay spanning six weeks. I myself cleaned them 3 times as there were about a half dozen guests in the other room during my stay and things get dirty.
The bed frame is broken and falling apart. The temperature was over 90 degrees inside when I moved in. During my stay I would come home to have the air conditioning turned off or at a high temperature. I can understand differences in a few degrees based on different guest’s preferences, but this was unbearable at times.
