Pros: This apartment is a great place for tourists and business folks alike. As each bedroom has a bathroom it was perfect for two days of business travel with 2 colleagues. The hotels that week were more than outrageous in price so this was a big money saver for us. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, the beds very comfortable. The apartment is a bit north of the capitol area but easy to use a Lyft ride, we didn't try the public transportation. Very close by (6 to 8 minute Lyft ride) is a great neighborhood with loads of restaurants; I think that area is called 14th street area. A Lyft ride from the apartment to the Capitol building during rush hour took about 25 minutes.
Cons: This apartment is part of a 3 apartment building still under construction. The first two bedrooms have this indoor courtyard and sounds travel down that courtyard very well; if you are a late sleeper (after 8am) I would advise staying here after the construction is finished. There were multiple air fresheners used in the kitchen, dining area and living room and the smell was too strong. Once you went down to the bedrooms though you couldn't smell them. The first bedroom's mattress, pillows, sheets, etc must have been sprayed with Febreeze or some other kind of air freshener, my colleague who stayed in that room is very sensitive to these smells; we washed the bed covers two times to get rid of most of the strong smells and I gave her some of the pillows from my room, which were fine. I had been promised a place to park my car but the parking spot was blocked by a truck and although I called the owner for help, I never got a call back. The street parking in front of the apartment requires you to move your car every 2 hours. There was an issue with the lock and the construction workers on site were able to make a quick fix so we could lock the door but they came in the second morning while we were still in the apartment to repair it. We knew they would have to come fix it, but they didn't announce themselves before coming into the apartment and then they sprayed silicon or some kind of glue and the smell immediately went throughout the entire apartment and one of my colleagues had to leave until the smell could be aired out.
Overall I think this apartment has great potential; the owner is new at AirBnB and he just needs to iron out the details and then this rental could truly be called a "luxury" apartment.
