The house as a whole was a good place to stay. It was a nice house and for the most part was clean in all areas except some of the sheets had stains but everything else was essentially spotless. Derek was a host was very responsive and understanding and even proactive. Whenever we were missing an item from the house, he offered to buy it and deliver it to us or if there was something we needed. I have absolutely no issues with Derek as a host or Derek's place. It was also pretty good on price.
The issue is this: The area is unsafe for the most part. I don't live in Maryland and this was my first time ever visiting. The guests I was staying with reported multiple issues with the surrounding area including gunshots, a car setting on fire in the apartment complex right across the street, frequent sirens from police, ambulances, etc. and a relatively unfound report of domestic violence.
As a whole, this place was great but I would only not recommend staying here because of the area.
