Mixed Review,
Place was as described bedrooms were accurate. It was clean but could have used a good vacuum, specifically the rug in the living room. The kitchen had pots and pans but for a house that sleeps seven, it would have been nice to have a couple larger items to cook for more people. Dishwasher tablets, rags, pots, pans, a cookie sheet, small roll of paper towels all in short supply or non existent and could of been helpful.
Plastic on beds was a little odd, and seemed like 95% of the place was to protect the items and over use. Makes me think that there was bad experiences with other users.
We did not get a response or door code until very late in the day (After normal check in time) only after calling Jeff multiple times and messaging. He did humbly apologize. And mentioned he usually lets people know at noon same day as check in. (This was already 4:30PM)
The place itself is very interesting to get to. You have a few options. One is use the Orange line (Metro) to Minnesota Ave, and take the U5 bus to Ridge road and D street.(DO NOT take the U6 bus it will route you around that street). Other option is taking Blue line to Benning and taking the metro bus there. After the first day of walking a mile because we didn't understand metro, your orange line is much easier. DC metro and Smartrip apps helped the most.
One of the factors in selecting this place was the washer and dryer in the house. However, they were not working and we were not notified of this prior to arriving. Since we had the washer and dryer, we packed a bit short for the week to save on luggage. He offered to fix it the last day we where there, but we declined as it wouldn't really help us the night before we left.
Neighborhood was run down, even though the residence was good. Neighbors were friendly even while doing drug deals on the street.
Jeff was great at asking how things were going almost on a daily basis. He did bring us more towels when we asked since the washer was not working. Did give us a few suggestions for groceries.
If it wasn't for the no messaging before arriving and no notice that the washer and dryer were not working, would of possibly given better score.
