Mark’s place is clean, stylish and very centrally located. Great for those with events in Foggy Bottom or Georgetown.
The unit itself doesn’t seem to be designed for quiet reflection or hanging out in the apartment. There’s a hot plate instead of a stove (which is fine but take note). The bedroom shares a wall with the bedroom of unit 3. Depending on your neighbors umm intimate activities, you could be in for an interesting night if you know what I mean. I know this is not Mark’s fault but just be aware of this if you’re not a heavy sleeper.
There was a weird humming sound coming from the roof most noticeable in the bedroom and bathroom. Mark was great and very responsive when I brought this up. The issue seemed to go away on its own. I suspect it might have to do with something being turned on in the other apartment but can’t be sure. You can also hear noise from the hallway or unit 3 if the folks in that unit are having a party or get together. There are signs telling guests to be mindful of noise but some guests seem to ignore it.
Check in is a breeze which is awesome. Mark doesn’t really contact you but the instructions in the manual are very clear and easy to follow.
WiFi is quick and functional which is also a huge bonus. There are enough towels, linens and cutlery/tableware which is fantastic and what made me give this place 4 stars despite the thin walls.
