We love airbnb and have had many good experiences. Unfortunately this was a really bad experience. We booked 5 nights, but after two nights we left early and moved to a hotel.
Here's what happened. The host does not live here and we never saw him-- all 3 bedrooms are rented to guests, with entry and exit by a keypad on the door. We knew this from the listing. The problem was with the other guests, and the unavailability of the host. The first night, we were awakened by several people in the house's shared space partying and being quite loud until early morning hours. The second night, from 1am to 3am one of the other guests was having a fight with someone on the phone, walking around the house yelling and slamming doors. Even the neighbors were yelling out their windows for him to be quiet. We were in DC for work and had to be up early in the mornings. After two sleepless and one frankly uncomfortable night, we packed up and left.
We let the host know about our experience, acknowledging that he can't control the behavior of other guests. We were unable to speak to him in person or by phone, despite several requests; he responded only by messenger. We suggested he might want to address the noise with the other guests; he said unless we could identify the guests there was nothing he could do. We said we were happy to pay for the nights we stayed at his place but asked for a refund for the nights after we left; he refused. We are currently pursuing the matter with airbnb.
Separately, you should be aware that the neighborhood is surrounded by boarded up public housing. It's not pretty by day and may be unsafe after dark. Before you book, consider looking at google street view. This isn't why we left, but even if we'd had a better experience we wouldn't stay here again.
