While the location is amazing, Jim’s rowhouse needs some serious cleaning and repairs to bring it back to the condition advertised in the pictures (which are 10-12 years old).
Pro’s: ice cold AC, seriously comfortable king size bed, location is central to everything in Georgetown, and the private off street parking doesn’t suck
Con’s: overall cleanliness is lacking upon our arrival, the counters in bathroom and kitchen were scuzzy, tub surround/caulk is moldy, HVAC intake/output vents were fuzzy with dust, all blinds dirty with serious layer of dust (they’re white blinds that look grey now), because shower surround isn’t attached to wall or tub edge, water can run out along the wall and leaks out and will flood the downstairs. There was evidence of previous flooding downstairs with water stains on the ceiling and the flooring is warped in the kitchen.
The owner was advised of all of these issues from the moment we checked in. Their initially response was to offer a total refund and for us to find other accommodation at 5p. Not feasible finding something last minute in DC. Second offer from Jim was a $150 refund and asked for us to not review the property. When the shower started leaking to the downstairs, and I enlisted Airbnb support, the owner blamed us for damages that pre existed our visit and rescinded any offer for discounted/reimbursement.
Would I recommend staying at Jim’s again? If you don’t mind cleanliness that rivals an interstate Motel 6… go right ahead.
