The apartment was super clean and beautifully decorated, and more roomy inside than we'd expected, so that was nice! Griz was fast to respond to any questions I had and check in was super easy. The heater and AC work great, and the kitchen is well stocked.
We loved being close enough to walk to the National Mall, and the Metro station is just a block away and we used that a lot too. There are a lot of great restaurants in the area. But the block this apartment was on didn't feel super safe. We saw lots of trash and things felt a bit grimy compared to other parts of the city. And one night a man stood outside our front door around 3 am for a while, we could see his silhouette through the blinds and that was concerning. We didn't feel like we were in danger, but we also didn't feel entirely relaxed.
The beds aren't very comfortable (expected from the sofa bed, but the queen bed wasn't super comfy either.) A few more pillows and an extra blanket or two would be nice.
We had a good stay and really appreciate the ease of communication with the host and all his helpfulness, but we probably will look elsewhere next time.
