The place was not as nice as I would have hoped for. It can use a really good deep cleaning. The kitchen handles are crusty and dirty. The laundry area was not very accommodating for a guest. There was not ice or water available.
I’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnb’s and this Airbnb needs upgrading, more attention and TLC. The Wi-Fi kept disconnecting or didn’t work at all. Toilet is wobbly. There is just a lot more to hosting someone than just booking someone.
To the host’s credit they did get back to me in time when I had a couple of questions but they need to give some TLC to the place. Also, this was the third Airbnb I stayed at in DC in a month. Overall, the quality of Airbnb’s in DC have gone downhill.
I live in San Diego. California is a high tourist destination. The cost of living is high here. Yet, the Airbnb’s in California have style, class and Airbnb host here that have 5 stars or 4.8 starts seem to take their job as a host seriously. It is not just an Airbnb mill. My advice is to take pride in your place as an Airbnb host.
