Good location in a safe central area of Petworth! Walking distance to the metro, Safeway, Dunkin Donuts, CVS, and several bars & restaurants. Parking spot behind the apt with garage door entry was one of the reasons I booked this, and it was great to have a safe, secure place to leave the car rather than dealing with street parking.
Extremely clean (!!), comfortable bed, shampoo/soap/towels provided. Well appointed kitchen with plenty of spices/utensils/pans/plates/etc if you choose to cook in. TV with cable allowed me to watch March Madness, which was great! Bedroom & bathroom door have seen some use and were a bit hard to close at times. External doors were safe and secure. This is a basement unit, so daylight is sparse and you can hear peoples muffled talking and walking above you if they are home, but everything was dry and clean! APT is sparsely decorated so not as 'homey' as some Airbnbs, but I was very happy with how clean & tidy everything was, so that was worth the trade off.
Communication was challenging. Host did provide check in information exactly 30 minutes prior to check in date/time, but did not communicate they would be waiting that long to provide it. This caused some stress as I was unsure if I would be able to use the APT until the day of check in and was nervous I would be without a place to stay. Even though the check in info states it will be provided 'well before the check in date', I think this is standard practice for this host for safety and to avoid people trying to check in early. Be assured that you will receive check in info & codes 30 mins before check in.
Overall a good price for a basement apt in a good location in Petworth.
