This studio was a great place to stay for myself, my boyfriend and his dog for the weekend. A few plusses/minuses:
Pros:
- The neighborhood where the studio is located is lovely - and seems very safe, even for walking around at night.
- We loved walking just a few blocks to the H Street corridor for food and drinks.
- There is plenty of space and adequate accommodations for the three of us for a weekend getaway.
- Linens (sheets and towels) are provided and clean.
- Hairdryer is provided (I didn't see this mentioned in the listing and ladies need to know these things).
- LOVE that they allow pets.
- The bed and pillows are comfy (note: the bed seemed to be on the softer side, rather than firm, but was really nice).
- The studio is very quiet and clean, which is always a comfort.
- We dug the artwork on the walls.
Cons:
- Be aware that the nearest metro stations aren't super close but we found it easier to take an Uber to the mall area anyway.
- We found the plumbing to be a little cantankerous. The toilet usually required several flush attempts (and it took forever for the tank to fill back up in between) and both days we stayed, we only had enough hot water for 1 person's shower. We did NOT address this issue with the owner, however, so it may have just been our problem (no other reviews seem to mention it).
- No oven or toaster oven, just a microwave and a stovetop, which was fine for us for the weekend but a longer stay may want a crispier reheated pizza.
- Very odd - the freezer was stocked with what looked like human skin suits - we still have no idea what those things were but we brushed it off and hoped we'd live to write this review (we did). Again, we did NOT address this one with the owner and perhaps it was left behind by a previous visitor.
- Not a dealbreaker but the blanket on the bed was a bit tattered and could stand to be replaced.
Overall, we had a great weekend in DC and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
