A few of my friends and I stayed in this apartment listing over a long weekend, three nights with checking out on Monday morning. As someone who lives in the suburbs of the DMV, I can say that the location of the apartment is amazing and truly its best quality. The apartment is close to H St., restaurants and coffee shops, the National Mall, and the Supreme Court and the Capitol. We never had an issue with parking and there was plenty of parking on surrounding streets if not directly in front of the apartment. The apartment also had some nice, updated features: kitchen with a large sink and plenty of pots and pans to use, remodeled bathroom, and large master bedroom with plenty of space to store clothes and items. All of that being said, there were a number of things that need the host’s attention for future stays. I’ll start by saying that the pictures in the listing aren’t all accurate. The living room/kitchen area is not as lit as in the pictures, it has dim lighting that made it feel dark during the day. There are two couches in the living room, but only one in the picture. There is a desk in one of the bedrooms that isn’t in the pictures, and few other things like this. There were also a few safety concerns: we couldn’t find the fire extinguisher, the stove seemed to only work on the high setting, the smoke/CO2 alarm in the hallway was missing, the hook in the bathroom was coming out of the wall and couldn’t be used, and one of the window air units needed a filter replacement. Additionally, there werea few things that absolutely need attention. The apartment was so humid that it was almost unbearable at times. The living room/kitchen area had no air conditioning, so we had to rely on the two portable fans we found in the closets to cool down. They also had not been cleaned. The window units kept the bedrooms cooler, but bedsheets and clothing felt wet from the humidity. There were trashcans full of trash directly in front of the door that brought many mosquitos. We were all bit several times and couldn’t leave the door open for more than a second. We killed several mosquitos inside the apartment throughout our stay. We also didn’t have any paper towels and ran out of toilet paper during our last night. The food in the pantry seemed to be from previous guests and was left open. Lastly, the apartment is the basement/lower-level unit of the rowhouse. This was not clear in the listing and I didn’t know it was the basement apartment until we got there to check in. I can’t recommend the host’s apartment during the summer months without addressing the humidity and air conditioning comments.
