Here are my good and bad bullet points for this place.
The good:
- owner is friendly and quick to communicate when help is needed
- location is very good, center of Georgetown, although I wish there was a subway stop nearby, but I digress.
- felt safe inside and outside the apartment
- place is "mostly" clean. Will talk about unclean stuff later.
The bad:
- like others have said, the pictures do not reflect the actual apartment. Place is smaller and more bare-bones than it how it appears online.
- found empty beer cans and other trash under the pull-out couch.
- the code that was given to us in the check-in instructions was incorrect. Had to call the host to get the correct code.
- low ceilings above the stairs, so unless you are 5 ft tall or below, you will have to duck your head going up and down the stairs.
- no instructions for how to lock the door leading outside the property. Had to figure it out myself.
- some of the lights did not work
While this place is less expensive compared to the rest of airbnbs in DC, it definitely has its tradeoffs,. It's fine for what it is, but only rent if you need at least three beds. If you only need two beds, go somewhere else.
