Unfortunately, my partner and I could not stay more than and hour in this Airbnb.
Note you will not be located in the epicenter of DC. We found it to be an interesting neighborhood and we're visiting from Brooklyn, NY so we've seen it all. The outside of the space is as picture with a cute wooden gate that opens to a nice porch area. But upon entry, it was evident the space wasn't clean. The carpets and floors were dusty and when we reviewed every room for post accuracy and cleanliness, we had huge concerns. All 3 bedrooms displayed hair and/or red stains within the sheets, pillows and carpets, beds appeared slept in and disheveled, visible guest trash on the side tables, there were multiple walls showing reddish handprints... oh and PLEASE don't open the dish washer because it smells like something died in there.
After messages and photos were sent via Airbnb to Drew. He apologized and stated they don't reuse sheets so he is unaware of how this happened and confirmed his cleaners were there that afternoon. We arrived at 7pm, impossible.
He suggested we stay the night at a discounted rate and he will have the cleaners come in the morning. While very uncomfortable with this option, there were no other available spaces to book with the option to cook- which was our main desire for our stay. Drew directed us to a linen closet, via phone, to access clean bedding and towels. In this closet, there were packaged sheets with water damage stains and opened sheets that were also stained. It was gross. Drew apologized and we both agreed on a full refund. Wish this was the end...to date he has only refunded partial payment so I have escalated it with Airbnb to receive the balance.
Don't Book.
