Three friends and I stayed at Felira’s house for 7 weeks while we worked in DC for the summer. The house was great for a long term stay because the living spaces were very spacious. However, I do have BIG complaints:
1. The host lives downstairs, which means that even though you do get the ‘entire’ house, it’s not entirely private. Felira complained to us about noise frequently and the problem was clearly the floor thickness and not us. The first week he complained about us ‘jumping or exercising’ at 6 am and all we did at that time was make coffee and pack our food to head to work. Another time he came to ask us angrily to stop playing with a soccer ball in the apartment when we were just cooking dinner. While there were a couple times we were actually being too noisy and we felt very sorry, it was very disrupting having him complain about ‘noise’ so often.
2. The house had AC, however, 2 of the rooms DO NOT HAVE AC. While the rooms are connected to the other two, they still get really hot especially in the summer. The host was very nice and provided fans but DC just kept getting hotter.
3. The tub from the second floor leaked into the first. This was a problem that he was clearly aware of as there was a hole in the tub that was covered. We complained once and stopped once we saw the hole was there from the past.
In conclusion, the place was nice but there were problems. Ironically, while we tried to ignore the AC and tub problem and it was possible to do so, Felira would be the one complaining to us and not the other way around. This would be a 4-5 star review if it weren’t for the complaining. I would recommend for short term but not long term. The place is definitely beautiful! Also, metro is about a 15 min walk, close but not that close.
