In general Dennis is a pleasant and responsive host and the room in comfortable, especially for the price paid.

That said there are some things that could have been communicated better through the listing that surprised me and my travel companion when when we arrived.

MULTIPLE ROOMS RENTED
The biggest issue was there are a total of three rooms being rented in the same apartment, and that was not made abundantly clear on the listing. Because we did not know that there would be other guests, we were not prepare to have to manage our time in the bathroom/shower around other guests' schedules. This caused me and my traveling companion to be late the morning after our arrival.

FEW TV STATIONS/CHANNELS TO WATCH
The listing advertises a large TV. Unfortunately there was little access to any content on the TV as it was not connected to any cable or satellite TV service. The times that we were there, we were forced to watch Hulu or NetFlix on our laptops because there was nothing acceptable on the TV in the room.

SHOWER/TUB DIRTY AND LITTLE HOT WATER
The bathroom has some issues around being clean, specially the tub/shower area—it was in unacceptable condition for public use. Additionally the water thermostat on the water heater was so low it was difficult to get any hot water for very long, after a long waiting period just to get any hot water. This contributed to our issues around being on time the first day, and it's just annoying.

ROOM READY LATE - 7PM
While it wasn't a big deal because we arrived to DC later than we expected, I find it curious that Dennis doesn't have the resources in place to handle getting the rooms ready while he's at work. He did contact me in advance to let me know that the previous guest left late and said he'd be able to turn the room after he got off work. Had we actually arrived at our planned time that would have been a huge inconvenience. I recommend he acquire resources to manage this better in the future.

APOLOGY
I must apologize because I believe we left some of our trash on the dresser in the room. My travel companion and I each thought the other was taking care of it, and so it was left in the room. Our mistake.

IN CLOSING
I'd gladly pay more money for better service, cleanliness, and amenities when I travel. Yes this was a very affordable room. And no matter what I pay, I have high expectations. Renting rooms through AirBnB is a business.
