Giving it a 5 b/c it is great esp for the price and I feel the hosts did everything within their control to make it a pleasant stay.
The actual Airbnb is super cute and well decorated. It is located down a few steps in a basement apartment with a full bedroom, bath, kitchen, and living room. I got a retro vibe from the place which I enjoyed.
The temperature was very comfortable and it was very quiet. The shower was wonderfully hot and the rooms are spacious. Bedding was clean and comfortable and they had a fan in the bedroom that was a powerhouse which I appreciated because I am a hot sleeper.
The hosts are quick communicators and pleasant to interact with.
One annoying thing is that there were a bunch of very large, black flies constantly zooming around and buzzing past my head in the bathroom. I was very careful to close the door quickly when I entered/exited so I'm not sure if they came through a window crack or something. My friend who lives in DC says these flies are notorious in the area. Not dangerous by any means, just quite pesky.
My comments below are not something the hosts can control, just an honest fyi for future visitors. It did not affect my rating.
The location is not the best but that happens a. lot in DC. it's located on a cute little street but two streets down is a less safe area that you have to walk through to get to the metro. after one scary 10-ish min walk to the metro, I got Ubers instead the whole trip which added to my expenses for this trip.
The location was not as central to DC as I expected mostly due to DC traffic. Technically it might be just a few miles away from your intended destination but in DC that means 30+ mins in traffic.
Hope my review helps visitors make an informed selection!
