We were driving into Washington D.C. from Springfield Mass and needed a place for five people. We found Travis's place and thought it was ideal for its location, size, and available parking. The apartment was easy to find and was in a nice neighborhood. From the outside the house was adorable, and the downstairs apartment was easy to access. Upon entering the layout was a little different then expected, but large enough for our group. The decor was very simplistic with a few black and white photos on the wall and wood floors throughout. There was a cute outdoor patio, although it was too cold to enjoy. We were able to obtain this place for $99/night which seemed like a good price. A few minor setbacks were with the linens/bedding and parking pass. The main bedroom had a queen sized bed made up with sheets and such. All other bedding areas we had to make up ourselves. This is not a problem except, we had to dig through the dryer trying to find enough sheets to make up the beds. Even with searching through the laundry we were unable to find enough bedding for both futons. The extra pillows were stained and dirty, and there were no pillow covers available to use before placing on the case. Unfortunately there were only a few blankets, not enough for us all to be comfortable, and they were pretty tired as well. It was very chilly at night and we needed to pull out the space heaters to make the place more comfortable. These were provided and worked really well. The mattress and futon beds were comfortable to sleep on, but the cots are only good for kids in my opinion. Parking was so convenient, we got a space just outside the house. We were charged a $50 fee for obtaining a parking pass. The car we originally planned on taking on this trip ended up changing and we had to change the plate number listed on the original pass. When I tried to contact Travis about this issue, it was difficult to get an answer to this problem. Finally I called the police department myself only to find out that parking passes were issued for free. We just needed to go to the station with the homeowner, or he go himself, to obtain a new one. Of coarse Travis has a right to charge a connivence fee, but $50 is a little exorbitant. Overall the location is ideal for the National Mall, food venues and character of the neighborhood. With a little freshining up and purchase of new bedding/linens, this place would be 4-5 star.
