PROS:
-As others have noted, the unit is in a prime location with most attractions walkable (great restaurants, bars, Metro).
-The host was responsive during our stay, and was able to address our questions timely.
-Although it was a basement unit, we found the space visually appealing and decorated nicely.
CONS:
-Our reason for the lower rating is because our bedroom flooded after a night of rain, causing our luggage (which held our clothes and textbooks) to become SOAKED. Further, several electric cords by our nightstand were dipping in the water, so we felt lucky that no worse issues (such as being electrocuted) had occurred. As the water seemed to enter the room from below the ground, this led us to believe there was a basement drainage issue. When we alerted the host, she did send someone to remove the water from the bedroom. However, there was more rain in the forecast and when we mentioned our concern, the host did not respond with any preventative measures to prevent the unit from flooding again. While we were lucky that the unit did not flood again during our stay, I do wish the booking mentioned the potential for flooding.
I am making this review public to make others aware of our experience, and we hope that the host will resolve the root cause of the issue so that other guests will not have to experience this.
