The location of this AirBnB is excellent. It is two blocks from a Giant Food store and the beginning of the Shaw district which has seen a great deal of gentrification. The two blocks between the place and the district is a bit iffy, especially after dark. I would most definitely not call this "sparkling clean" with dirt and hair along all the baseboards throughout the place and stained/matted rugs in the bathroom. There were also stains on the mattress pads and we felt compelled to wash the sheets before sleeping on them and add a layer of extra blankets between us and the pads. This took forever as the washer an dryer are small and slow, which is fine for clothing and short stays. There was leftover food from the previous occupant in the fridge and bottom drawer of stove (?). There was drywall over the entry door where there should have been a window and a window between one of the bedrooms and the bathroom where there should have been drywall. Such are the quirks of these old row houses though. The beds were VERY comfortable, the noise was minimal with a white noise machine, the water was always hot, and the location was excellent. The host was also very responsive to message.
Bottom line: I would try another one of this host's properties as he is an excellent host, but would not stay at this particular one again.
