Cannot recommend. If you value cleanliness you will be seriously appalled by the filthy conditions! First, I am Jadyn’s mom speaking on her behalf. My sweet 18-year old, signed up on Airbnb so she could gift me a weekend trip to DC for my birthday. Overall the trip to DC was a good one except when it came to Rose’s place. It was quite shocking to find that the room was super gross. The carpet was dirty, it was full of spill stains and it had not been vacuumed in who knows how long as you could see the dust had been building up on the baseboard and perimeter of the carpet for quite some time. There was a wad of hair on the floor on one side of the bed, and rat poison pellets in the corners. A rat trap was in the closet and the velvet hangers she had in there were even full of dust. When I pulled back the sheets of the bed, I found someone’s hair underneath the pillows, and dust motes and carpet fibers on the fitted sheet. The bathroom comprised of a nasty toilet ring, dirty toilet seat with pubic hair on it and a thick buildup of soap scum surrounded the faucet hardware in the sink.
There was a weird setup of a small fridge and microwave both which were on top of foam blocks. Both appliances were unplugged and because they were on top of one another with foam in between them the fridge door was a nuisance to open. Furthermore, the fridge door rubbed against the foam block, every time you opened and closed the door, causing the foam pellets to get all over the carpet. I didn’t appreciate having to plug the appliance and set the temperature just to keep our water bottles cold as you would think that at the rate of $83.50/per night after taxes, the service fee and a cleaning fee (yes, Rose has the audacity to charge a cleaning fee for such a gross place) that everything would have been properly set up. Being charged a $45 cleaning fee was the worst part of it when it was so obvious the place was not being cleaned whatsoever. It is assumed that if you’re going to charge a cleaning fee that it means you clean in between each and every one of your guests and provide clean linen, etc.
But that is certainly not the case with Rose, so I frankly don’t understand the 5-star ratings and the super host status as I don’t see how it’s been merited. And I speak from the place of having been a super host myself, who cleaned top to bottom in between every one of my guests.
I can not say anything positive about this place other than that Rose seems like a nice woman but frankly, we were really disgusted. And I have the pictures to prove it! Had we not arrived late on our first night I would have insisted on finding another Airbnb and have taken the loss because of her cancellation policy. We stuck it out though since we were only going to be there for just two nights. But it was most certainly the low point of our trip. We would never go back and again CANNOT recommend it one bit.
