We were super excited for this stay, but was quickly disappointed before even getting inside of the apartment building. It is important to note that there is NO free parking. If you want to park, you must park in a nearby parking garage for $21 per day. Luckily, since DC is not issuing as many parking tickets as usual due to COVID, we were able to park on a back road beside the apartment complex without receiving a ticket. However, I don’t know how long that will last so be prepared to have money just to park.
The second issue that we had with the Airbnb was the fact that the apartment was on the FOURTH floor of the building with NO elevator. Those stairs were brutal to climb several times a day and hindered our motivation to leave the apartment. Do not book this apartment if you have small children or family members with disabilities that hinder them from climbing vast amount of stairs.
The third issue we had was with the apartment itself. The pictures are extremely misleading. The apartment is in the shape of a semi circle and extremely small and me and the person I was staying with had issues walking in the apartment at the same time due to lack of space. The apartment was pretty clean, but there was brown, long, silky hair that did not belong to me or my partner in front of the shower, in the shower, on our beds, and our pillows. It was gross and I found myself constantly picking a random persons hair off of me throughout our stay. The worst part about the apartment is the bed. The bed is like sleeping on a queen size brick. It is EXTREMELY hard and uncomfortable. So much to the point that me and my partner only averaged three to four hours of sleep a night. We came on this trip to rest, and we did not do such thing.
The WiFi is quite terrible. We brought our Xbox with us, and a task as simple as streaming something off of Netflix ended up being too difficult for the WiFi to withstand. There were several times it stopped working all together. Also, the heat wouldn’t turn on. The apartment was cold the entirety of the visit.
If you’re looking for a place with a good location, this is the spot for you since it is the only good thing this listing offers. Do not book this place.
