LET ME START BY SAYING THIS HOST TRIED TO BRIBE ME BY OFFERING TO PAY ME $20.00 THROUGH PAYPAL TO LEAVE A 5 STAR REVIEW. MAKES YOU WONDER ABOUT THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE OTHER 5 STAR REVIEWS FOR THIS LOCATION, AND SAYS A LOT ABOUT THIS HOST'S CHARACTER. - I gave this location 1 star because of all the negative experiences I had during my stay. I start by saying that this location would have gotten at least a 4; however for each inconvenience 1 point was removed from my 5 star ranking metrics. I'll start off by saying that this location is very clean and offers a 15 minute drive into the downtown area of DC if taking an Uber or Lift service. There's a little old women who stays in-house to take care of the housekeeping and tend to guest concerns - she was very nice an accommodating. With that said, the issue I had was mainly with the host/owner of the property - it seems as if he outsourced all of his customer service/relationship building skills to the housekeeper! They tell you check-in is at 3pm, so I made sure to communicate with the host that my arrival would be at 5am and to see if there would be any accommodations for early check in (if not, I would have just stayed somewhere else!) - the host assured me that due to limited check-ins, I should be find to check in early. Upon my arrival - the app used to unlock the door had not been set for my stay - so I was locked out of the house at 5am after I had been traveling for 8 hours! I then called the phone number provided on the listing and the host's son answered - said that I had the wrong number and to call his father - that phone number went strait to voicemail, I left a message and a message through the airbnb app and no one responded. after several attempts to gain access to the door - the housekeeper came to the door and let me in - however she had no knowledge of my stay - and advised that a room would not be ready for me until 3pm. After explaining to her that I had already communicated with the host - she later offered me a bunk-bed room to sleep in until the room that I had already paid for was ready. - 1 point deducted When I finally started to drift off to sleep - I was rudely awaken by the blast of loud music coming from the next room. The host son lives in the airbnb and blast his music every morning while showering and getting ready for school. This went on throughout the duration of my stay. In addition to this, the walls/doors of the rooms are very thin, you can hear the washing machine running, someone hacking flem in the bathroom, snoring at night and conversations down stairs....
