Unfortunately, and for this particular studio, I would not recommend it to friends and family....details below.
Here are the cons and pros:
Cons:
1- This is a basement studio promising a luxury experience but sadly it is directly underneath another studio. During my stay I was up at all hours of the night - 1am, 5am, 6am. Footsteps, moving furniture, toilet flushing, etc is loud and very disruptive. Throughout the day to avoid the noise I would put the TV or my earbuds. I also bought earplugs but to no avail.
2- Again the ad promised a luxury experience but when I arrived this studio was poorly maintained. Most of the white walls are dirty, the curtains were all ripped at the seam, the mattress was stiff like a board and the AC filter was extremely filthy. The host addressed most of these items after I complained but should have never rented it out before fixing and cleaning properly.
3- When you get to the studio's front door after going down 2 flights of stairs, there is a hall next to the door which is used as an open shed/utility room with construction leftovers (paint, mirror, boxes of leftover flooring, etc) Luxury? Sorry but no.
The pros:
1- The location is great, close to restaurants, bars and the surroundings are great.
2- The host was responsive and fully understanding of the issues I raised.
If the place was not listed as a luxurious experience and its cost would be based on what it offers - then the expectation would have been completely different.
There is nothing they can do about the footstep noise - so if that does not bother you, then this will be an option for you. My 6 day DC get away experience was impacted by the lack of sleep and tranquility that I was looking for :( .
I have to say though that the host tried their best to accommodate me but it fell short.
