It was very nice that the host left some breakfast items, but there were no instructions for anything. (fireplace, coffeemaker, apple tv, fireplace, etc) We requested to get in early, and actually got in an hour late, and the cleaner was still there. We were allowed to hang out on the rooftop, but after awhile our kids were freezing and she said she still had at least another hour of cleaning so we left and came back to a clean apartment at 7:30pm. I should mention that the cleaning lady did a great job and we felt bad being there because she was rushing. We loved having all of the space with three kids, but it seemed like the place was put together in a hurry. Loose towel bars, shower heads hanging out of the ceiling, paint all over everything, stickers on skylights as well as lots of paint. The neighborhood would have been fine for adults, but we did not feel safe with kids. Luckily there was a large police presence. We could not lock the majority of the windows, and would not lock the french door or the porch, we were happy to be on the top floor. We have a gas fireplace at home, but could not get this one working or even smell any gas. We were there the end of march/beginning of april, so the temperature fluctuated a lot. We were either cold or hot. Being the third floor, the heat from the building would rise, so when it was warmer it was very warm. There were no ceiling fans, and no screens in the windows. One or the beds was up against a window which made us very uncomfortable when we had to have the windows open at night. The dishwasher door broke 2/3 wqy through our visit. The host said it was not a problem, but when we returned home, we were told they wanted to charge a security deposit of $500. We declined, but are still waiting for the outcome. The location was was close to the metro and bus which was very nice, but 14th street where they were located could be iffy. In the future would stay closer to u street area. This was our first time using airbnb, we have used vrbo in the past with no problems. Hopefully everything will get resolved, we are not sure if we would use airbnb again.
