The place looks great online right. It was cool to stay at. I stayed there for 10 days and for each day I had some type of problem. I will give it to the host though. Whenever I had a problem either he and his helper person, Marsh was right there.
Problem #1: There was a bug problem, predominantly in the kitchen but elsewhere too. It was crazy. Every morning I'd wake up to cockroaches in the kitchen laying on their backs kicking. Idk what they was about. Then the sink would be covered in little roaches if I went to the kitchen late at night. Twice there was a massive cockroach on the couch in the living (crawling on my jacket). Once there was a roach in the bathroom which luckily was the only time that I witnessed a bug upstairs.
Problem #2: The heating system is old and very uncomfortable. Probably hasn't always been but now with the weather always fluctuating it isn't feasible to have the type of heating system. You can't have the heater on and the ac on in another room...host told me the breaker would break. Something along those lines. I know nothing about that. I just know DC weather was acting weird and I was freezing. Also, the heating system in old so it take the heater over an hour to heat and the room more than two hours. I'm anemic and I was miserable. FREEZING.
Problem #3: The neighbors were so loud. They'd sit outside, drinking and yelling which was annoying. On top of the endless barking of their dogs.
Problem #4: This is only a problem from tall folks. I'm 5'10. I hit my head frequently on the doorways. I wouldn't recommend this location if you're 6'0 feet and above for a long stay. You'll be miserable and your neck and back will take a beating.
The location is also above a restaurant that stays open very late. So, young people would gather around the location, smoke and yell while waiting for their food. I could literally hear entire conversations if I was downstairs.
