✨Please read carefully… reviewing LOCATION first (nothing to do with the host) & then AFTER the location, I’ll review the host/ the actual Airbnb/apartment.
LOCATION:
1. If you’re not a big city person like me, (or just hate rodents) you’ll probably jump every time you see one lol; but during my entire stay (Friday to Wednesday; 5 nights, 6 days) I saw a total of 4 rodents— one dead on the sidewalk a few feet up from the Airbnb and the others just walking around while I was walking my dog lol. My wife is from NY so she’s used to it, but also is freaked out by rodents like myself lol, so beware of that while out and about.
2. Aside from that this Airbnb is located by everything! Literally took Uber all week, which they all ranged from $10-$30 (there were two basketball games while we were there so Uber prices went up both those nights). We went to the NMAAHC, the MLK Monument, fabulous restaurants, and scootered to a lot of places as well. Each scooter/Uber was no more than 15 mins tops.
3. Parking is trash Friday thru Sunday in my opinion. The first night I had to park about a 5 minute walk away (reasons I took Uber the rest of the trip) but once Monday came around I was able to park outside the Airbnb with no problem.
***HOST/ AIRBNB REVIEW:
1. David was very kind, he responded to texts in a timely manner which was very helpful as this was my first time driving to DC and staying in an Airbnb & not flying/staying in a hotel.
2. He was generous with his time as well. My wife had flowers delivered to me on Valentine’s Day & they went upstairs, he grabbed them so they wouldn’t get stolen and brought them downstairs to me. After bringing them down, a few minutes later he then returned with a vase in case I needed it!
3. The Airbnb looked exactly like the pictures. For the most part everything was clean, the floor just needed a nice sweep/mopping as it was really dusty and had a lot of long strands of human hair. I specify human hair as David allows pets, however there were no pet hairs around just human.
4. The shower-head was a bit wonky and would spray from the top of it through the pipe directly onto your face. But this is something that could be fixed with a quick tightening of it I’m sure.
5. The bed wasn’t my favorite. Way too low for my liking and a bit uncomfortable in my opinion, but hey what are you gonna do!
6. And finally, be mindful when you go because the host does live upstairs so you will hear footsteps and stuff. I stayed super bowl weekend lol!
Overall though, I enjoyed my trip, David was polite.. total 4 out of 5 stars.
