Overall a pretty underwhelming stay.
I booked this place for my parents visiting DC for the first time. I spent the first night with them as they are not familiar with airbnbs and also don't speak english. Just came to NYC to visit me in NYC and decided to hop on a trip.
the good:
- bathroom is really beautiful
- the apartment was very clean
- wifi seems to work fine
- the backyard has some very good potential but not suited to take advantage of it (no chair, no table, dusty)
- short walk to the train station (about 15min) but I would not advise to do it at night time.
The not so good:
(in terms of logistic)
- no chair nor table...just a desk with and office chair in the bedroom. There was one chair outside. I asked the host for a second one on the first day right before I leave my parents, she provided it the night (or morning) before their checkout...
- There is technically no parking on premises. It's a residential area, so taking the risk to get a ticket. The host does provide parking for $15/day.
- The fridge had some drinks in it (some open bottled/ some water and beers) but unsure whether that was for the travelers as the host specifically pointed out in their 'house rules' that element in the fridge are for the owner's use only
- although the host demands "Quiets hours", one night was particularly noisy and my parents had difficulty to sleep.
My parents still made the best out of it, kept the place clean as it was and still enjoyed their trip to DC. I think if you just looking for a place to sleep, not planning to stay there during the day that could be enough, but I would personally not stay there again. The transactional / un-warm / not particularly welcoming interaction with the host just made the overall experience bitter and not particularly worth the cost.
