Cheikh was very nice however felt a bit under-prepared for our stay. The place is accurate as shown in the pictures, and the neighborhood is a bit loud but seems safe.
However, when we arrived, the garbage was half-full, the couch cushions had a couple Cheerios and what I think was salt all over them, and there was no toilet paper in the whole apartment. When I asked Chiekh about getting toilet paper, he told me he would grab me some in 2 minutes. After 20 or so minutes, I messaged him again, he said sorry and to wait another 30 minutes. So instead I walked over to the nearby gas station and picked up rolls myself. As many travelers know, there is often "business" to take care of after a long flight or drive, and not having toilet paper stops you from taking care of that "business". There was only 1 clean towel, with the rest waiting in a dryer that took about 4 cycles to actually get dry.
Check-in was odd. We let Cheikh know that we'd be arriving at 6ish, 3 hours past his posted check-in time. When we actually got there at 6:30, we had to wait 20ish minutes for him to get ready to give us the combination for the lockbox to the keys.
I think if Cheikh works on being a bit more prepared for his guests, he has an awesome AirBnB on his hands. I would recommend this AirBnB to anybody looking for an easy place to stay while exploring the DC area, as long as it's more stocked and cleaned beforehand than our experience.
