Hello everyone, I feel that I really need to share this experience with You. I'll be very happy that someone won't experience what I did.
When my friend and I arrived to this place, we quickly realized that the house was not as advertised.
First of all, the key wasn't in the place where the host told us it's going to be (not under the mailbox next to the door as we were told). It was on the table in front of the door.
Second (when we finally find the key), we didn't need a key to open the door, we only need to push the door and it was open. When we put the key, it couldn't lock inside or outside.
Third, the area is overall suspicious. I am saying that because in front of the house were people watching us all the time. We were so scared.
The images posted on airBNB make the house appear as if it were new and safe set up. Unfortunately, the house is old and the door would not lock. Some windows have plastic on the inside.
We immediately needed to find another apartment at 11pm. In hurry, we forgot to put the key back in the lockbox. We told the host that we will return the key when we come in DC again in couple days. She accused us that we lost the key and wanted another 150$. The key wasn't lost, it was with us. Thanks to Airbnb support we'd deal with that problem and put the key back.
In my case, for two foreign women to stay there is very unsafe.
I believe this is false advertising.
I am sure anybody would not want to find themself in such a situation upon your first visit to the United States.
It caused us terrible stress and we lost a lot of money.
