Lovely little getaway to DC. Let me start with the pros.
1. Awesome decor (what initially drew us to the listing)
2. Coffee & tea provided
3. On-site private parking (uncommon for this area from what I've heard)
4. Allowed us to instant book
5. Very easy key pad to get in and out both the front and back door (private entrances)
6. Greeted by an adorable kitty
7. The hosts didn't bother us at all which I really appreciated. I prefer little to no contact with hosts unless we need something
8. Comfortable beds
9. Great heaters in every room which was very nice, being that it is February.
10. Perfectly clean bedding
11. We accidentally blew a fuse from our hair dryer. James was very helpful and quick to respond.
Now for the cons...
1. The place definitely doesn't get professionally cleaned. There is a large stain on the couch and other areas that could have been wiped down a bit. However, I'm not a super picky person when it comes to this, so my friend and I didn't allow it to ruin our time. Just keep that in mind when you're paying over $350 to stay here and a cleaning fee.
2. The first filter I ALWAYS click when searching for BnB's is "entire place to self." While this is technically a private apartment, the listing did not say anywhere that the hosts would be on site, directly above us at all times. This is the first bnb I've stayed at where the listing was misleading. My friend has a loud voice that carries and upon arriving, we read that the family has little children upstairs. It made us feel like we really had to watch how loudly we conversed.
3. If you don't want to be up at 6am every day due to the loud footsteps and movement upstairs, choose somewhere else to stay.
4. The Roku TV was a nightmare. We tried watching a movie before bed time but the system continuously kicked us off when we tried searching on Netflix and Amazon prime. So, the only other option is choosing something on basic cable...
5. Very spotty Wi-Fi
6. Only one person can fit in the bathroom at a time. It's very small. We are both females and like to listen to music and do our makeup together. This was not possible.
7. As other reviews stated, the water pressure in the shower was awful. We also noticed the soap bar in the shower covered in someone else's hair and the plastic shower liner that was filthy.
Overall, we enjoyed our time but
would choose a different place if we were to return.
