The low review is for how the host handled this. There was a low battery fire alarm beeping (plus a computerized voice saying”low battery”) going off every few minutes or so in a locked room. Low battery fire alarm beeping has a notorious reputation for really bothering most people (especially if you’re paying money). Everything was wonderful except for this alarm noise. The host did not trust my word, dismissed it and describing it as minimal, wasn’t willing to offer a partial refund for the inconvenience or even apologized. (Their cleaners had even informed them of the low battery alarm noise beforehand but still went on and rented out the room).
Oh and a FYI for people that don’t wish to support gentrification - this Airbnb might be contributing to the gentrification going on in Anacostia.
