Was not happy with our stay. It must be mentioned first that we received a partial refund for our stay. Nevertheless the following items made the stay unenjoyable.
1. There was no hot water. While the host insists that it is beyond their control as DC Gas shut off their gas, we were still not able to shower for the entire duration we were there.
2. Amenities claimed were not working. We specifically looked for a home that had a hair dryer. However, the hair dryer did not work and we tried two separate outlets.
3. Longer than expected response time. On the first night, we discovered there was no hot water and could not shower. We left the host a message but she didn't respond until the next day. Granted our first message was at 10:30pm but the next day the host did not respond to any of my later messages
4. The surrounding community around the home was more degraded than expected. There were piles of trash lying in the back and front alley of neighbors yards and in general, it did not feel like a safe community to walk at night. While indeed this is not within control of the host, ultimately these factors is why we will definitely not be staying at this location anymore.
