I stayed with Bob for a month during the summer of 2021. Here's what my thoughts are:
Pros:
- Bob and his wife are about as nice as one could imagine. They were welcoming and wanted to share information about DC and the Georgetown area with me.
- The location of the unit is perfect. I found parking to be easy with the provided pass and never had to park more than 1 block away, frequently right in front of the unit.
- It was incredibly quiet. For being so close to all that Georgetown has to offer, I especially appreciated that there was absolutely zero noise during the evenings. It also seemed like a safe neighborhood.
- Everything was provided. Whether the separate entrance, the umbrellas for a rainy day, or plenty of sheets and towels, they had it all.
Cons:
- Being the first guest since the start of COVID, It felt like the unit could have used a deep clean before I showed up. There were cobwebs in most of the corners of rooms and it felt like things were arranged a little last minute.
- For most of the stay, there were multiple millipedes walking across the kitchen floor. Even after killing dozens, more kept appearing. Probably could be fixed with spraying for bugs, but I'm not sure.
- If you love natural light, this isn't necessarily the place for you. I opened all of the curtains and it helped quite a bit, but I found myself walking around the neighborhood to just see the sun, since the unit doesn't have too many opportunities for that.
Overall, I'm not sure if I would stay here again. While I did feel like it lacked cleanliness and the bugs were annoying, the hosts were gracious and the location was spectacular. Absolutely worth it if you need a parking spot, since they're tough to find elsewhere.
