Great value overall - good price for the area. But, close proximity to U street both a blessing and a curse. It's a very close walk to lots of restaurants, bars, and stores in the area - you'll have pretty much everything you need within a few blocks However, there's tons of those annoying quad bike / ATV gangs all over U street that love to rev their engines and drive up and down the block until 4am on the weekends. Not sure if that always happens or just the weekend we were there, but it made it very difficult to sleep. Also the general sounds of the crowds and bars also contribute to the noise, and the place is not very sound proof. If I had known that I would have probably preferred to be somewhere a bit farther. Just know what you are going to be in for if you decide to stay in this area!
The Airbnb itself was clean, but because it's below ground level, we also noticed some pretty gnarly bugs crawling around. While that doesn't bother me personally, I do want to give this caution in case others might find it a deal breaker.
