We enjoyed our trip in Washington D.C. and Chad’s place was very convenient. Chad and Elodie were very nice and responsive.
We will recommend this place. However, if you do decide to stay in the house. Please be reminded for the followings:
Well finished bathrom however there were issues with consistent hot water. First shower was good, second has some cold pockets, the third one may not have any hot water for several minutes. Time yourself, otherwise you may need to experience cold water after you rinse your hair, several of us were caught with shampoo in our hair and nothing but cold water to wash it out.
You may want to bring mosquito spray and after-bite cream as they have lots of lovely plants in the house, however there seems to be many mosquitos that either sneak inside the front door when opening. Many even found themselves in our bedroom upstairs.
No dish washer is provided, so you need to wash all your dishes by yourself. Some of the cutlery were dirty, perhaps because the previous tenants did not hand wash them properly.
The first room has a normal queen-size bed, and the second has a futon bed, not an actual bed. The futon was okay for my husband, but my mom had problems as she has a back issue.
We travelled all around the world and we stay at Airbnb a lot. This is the first time that we had to leave some negative comments. I am so sorry to leave these comments as Chad and Elodie were very nice. However, I believe people may want to know what they will look for after they book the place. I stayed there with my mom and my husband for 5 days, and all of us had to suffer cold water during showers. In the house, they have lots of lovely plants, but they came with the mosquitos. Mosquito bites were all over on my legs and my husband’s neck. It was also really not pleasant find dirty cutlery in the drawer. We understand that it is difficult to fit a dish washer in a limited space. But it would probably solve the clean dish and cutlery issues. Also, there was a washer provided for clothing but no dryer which was an issue.
The place is very convenient and the parking pass was very useful if you rent a car in Washington. You will find all you need in their place. I will stay again at their place if they can correct the above issues.
