Pros:
1. Safe, beautiful location. ...able to walk to Union Station and US State Capitol. (just wear comfy shoes, it’s several blocks away). Also, a coffee shop is 0.2 miles away. :-)
2. Comfy beds and pillows w/ window units in the bedrooms. I slept like a baby with the white noise and cooler temp in my bedroom.
3. Great price considering what you’d pay for a hotel in/ around this location.
4. Info packet with a few eating and shopping suggestions, etc. was nice.
5. Place was clean and tidy (w/ the exception of the bathtub which seemed dingy).
6. Coffee, coffee maker, sugar and creamer. Sweet baby Jesus, THANK YOU!!!!!!
7. Great communication by host.
Cons:
1. Humidity INSIDE the place. Did you know it’s humid as all heck in Washington DC? I didn’t! There is a “dehumidifier”in the living room. I didn’t even know what this thing was. Luckily my boss did so he plugged it in, turned it on, turned some knobs or pressed some buttons and would later dump all of the water out of it that was sucked out from the air. I didn’t see any directions for this thing... so it may be helpful to add some for some guests like me who didn’t know what the heck this thing was. :-/
2. The picture looks a bit deceiving. The front door of the actual apartment is behind and below that staircase and front door shown in the picture... so you’re kind of like in the “basement part” of this building.
3. Large trash bags piled up behind the staircase/ in front of our front door when we got there on a Tues. We checked out Fri morning, trash was still piled up and stunk. :-(
4. At around 6:30am/7am, it sounds like the upstairs neighbors are tossing a bowling around. (No fault of the host here, of course!).
