One of the first things my Uber driver said when she picked me up was, "This is not a great neighborhood." Nick's place is located about 2 miles from Union Station. The apartment is clean and well kept. Unfortunately, the properties on either side are not. Like many Airbnb rentals, there is no coffeemaker. But there is often a neighborhood deli or breakfast place nearby. Not in this case. At 3 AM, I was awakened from a sound sleep by what sounded like a cat banging a toy on the floor directly above me for at least 30 minutes. I texted and called Nick but received no response. I moved to the couch and tried unsuccessfully to get some sleep. Then, at 6 AM, while I was in the shower, the power went out. Nick's is a basement apartment. There are no windows. It was pitch black. Again, I tried to contact Nick. No reply until 7:30 when I was in DC ready to go to work on 4 hours of sleep. Not a good experience.
