The location was awesome! We were close to the subway station, and close to grocery stores and eateries. We felt safe walking anywhere we went. We were surprised at how close we were to the National’s Stadium! The town center near the stadium was great! Overall, the location of our Airbnb was amazing! We were close (walking distance) to the flea market/farmer’s market that was located on 7th Street, which included a host of vendors. You could buy everything from clothes & shoes to soaps and other body products! It was totally amazing, but it’s only there on the weekends! That area was impressive! We were very close to the National Mall! There were a ton of food trucks out there!
The issues I had were I felt that we could have checked in early since the apartment was half cleaned. There was dog hair everywhere - on the sofa pillows and rugs - apartment half cleaned which caused us to constantly sneeze. There was dust everywhere! My husband got a rash from all the pet dander in the apartment. The sheet on the sofa bed was not clean - HUGE stain on it, so we flipped the pad that was on the sofa bed and sprayed Lysol on everything. Bring your own Clorox wipes too.
Initially there were not enough towels for four people and four people were listed as guests staying in the apartment. The light was not working on the bedside, so I called for one, and the light bulb that was given didn’t fit the socket. The closet door in living area was broken and could not be opened on one side. The mirror on the wall behind the bedroom door was not clean. Spots were all over it.
It would be nice to be able to have access to a vacuum, especially since everyone’s cleaning styles are different. We were totally disappointed in the cleanliness of the apartment!
