Overall we had a good stay at Joseph’s place and a wonderful trip to D.C.
Pros:
-The location can’t be beat. It is in the heart of Georgetown, which is a very cute, fun area of the city.
-Joseph and his co-host were quick to respond to my questions and concerns. The washing machine broke while we were there, which put us in a big pickle because we had our three month old son with us who creates a lot of laundry. Joseph kindly offered to get our laundry done offsite same day. This was a lifesaver.
-The space and layout was perfect for us. The unit feels very safe in a gated complex.
Cons:
-The decor is a bit dated, if you care about that, and the kitchen needs to be restocked with basics like dishes, glasses, silverware, etc. These existed but were sparse.
-I’ve stayed at AirBnBs that have much clearer house manuals and found that lacking here. Some things were confusing or unclear and we had to figure them out or reach out to the host to clarify (i.e. where to take out the trash, how to operate the TV, grocery stores and recommended restaurants nearby, etc.)
Note:
-Parking is one block away and is paid parking, but you will get reimbursed through Joseph after the trip. I wasn’t clear on this and it ended up being a bit challenging parking a block away with all of the gear an infant comes with vs. on-site parking like I thought it was, just a heads up.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the unit suited our needs.
