Great for Party People
This is a fabulously located beautifully refurbished small apt. Great sparkling white kitchen, nicely done walk in shower. Very professional paint job on the newly done walls. Steps from the convenient circulator bus that takes you to the main DC attractions and a short pleasant walk from the Metro. Georgetown's main dining shopping street is close by. Unfortunately the unit shares a wall with a hip $3/beer tavern that has thumping music with kids talking over it til 2am. Drunken people congregate on the stairs inches from your window - there are inevitable fights, car alarms going off and broken car glass in the am outside the apt along with dozens of cigarette butts on the sidewalk. There is no insulation between the walls/ floors and the guests in the unit above wore their high heels on the bare wood floors - giving you noise from all sides of the unit. Although the unit is VERY nicely done, the housekeeping is dismal - the stove had dark spills on it (easily cleaned). the washer was filled with wet clothes from the last guest so we had to do a laundry that wasn't ours, clean a stove and soak/wash the sticky knives and forks in the drawer before using them - then pay for a housekeeping charge! The wooden floors are new and beautiful but the area rug at the sofa was soiled and matted - the sofa itself was soiled. Multiple ceiling light bulbs are burnt out and the shower corners needs a good cleaning. The venetian blinds next to the breakfast table have coffee drips on them. The sheets are thinner than those of a hostel. I understand the need to maximize the profitability of a rental unit but all of these cleaning issues mar the experience and could be so easily fixed with a little management.
