Adrienne was super responsive and friendly, which was helpful since she doesn't live in DC.

There were a lot of things I liked about this place. The quirkiness of the layout and uneven floors was charming to me. I was in town for a conference at the convention center, so the location was very convenient. It's also very easy to get to the metro from here.

The apartment definitely feels like one of those places that is set up solely for AirBnB with some awkward furnishing choices that were made based on budget rather than what would be comfortable in the space. No biggie, but if you're somebody who likes the feeling of being in a real home, this may not be the place for you. It was fine for me since I was on my own and pretty busy during my visit.

That said, there were some things about the apartment that were hard to enjoy. It is impossible to adjust the thermostat because it's on an automatic timer. I was there at the beginning of December, but when I arrived in the apartment it felt like a sauna. I had to keep the windows open and use the AC to get it below 75 inside the apartment. On top of that, there isn't enough hot water to serve the building. I wasn't able to ever get the water hot. I could get about 3-4 minutes of warm water in the mornings for a shower, but no more. I took an afternoon shower once. That was a little better.

The coffee shop on the main listing is closed, but there is a new coffee shop nearby that's pretty good. It's called Compass Coffee. When you first look at the menu there you might be under the impression that it's the kind of place that's mostly for nonfat peppermint mochas, but don't be dissuaded. The regular americano was pretty delicious.
