I travel to Washington D.C. quite often for work. I’ve stayed at numerous Airbnb’s over the last couple of years. Usually it’s in an extra bedroom in someones house and sometimes the quarters are very tight. Since I’m in work mode most times I just grin and bear it. This place was different as it was a basement unit in an apartment building.
Things I liked:
Quiet (for a major city) neighborhood that had barriers limiting car traffic to “residents” only.
Entire apartment to myself.
Self check-in via smart door locks.
Roomy living room and bedroom.
Full sized fridge (not just a little dorm type as in most guest rooms).
AC controls in bedroom.
Full pressure shower head. Not one of those feeble water saver ones.
Several decent restaurants just a few blocks walk.
Things I didn’t like:
The hardwood floors in the unit above me. Every time people came in there was much thumping.
Bathroom was a little tight.
Had to hold the lever on the toilet for a while in order for it to completely empty.
Parking was bit of a pain. Limited times that you can park your car on the street without a residential permit. Glad I drove the compact car and not my SUV else I wouldn’t have gotten any spots at all.
The people in the building that decided to have a movie night by projecting a film on the front of the building wall which was the outside of my living room.
