We would not recommend this host. We were able to show up early and leave our bags, which was nice. However, the room was still not ready upon our arrival later in the day and we had to wait while it was prepared. We then informed the host that we had to wake up very early (4:30 AM) on our last day to get to the airport, and asked her if she knew the numbers of any cab companies that could pick us up that early. Our host stated she could get that information for us, but never did. We were living below our hosts and could not control the temperature in the unit, so if we were too hot or cold we had to text our host to adjust the thermostat, which was inconvenient. Finally, our host and her boyfriend had several friends over on our last night and we were kept up all night with the sounds of people walking upstairs in their shoes, shouting and laughing until after 2 AM. We felt this was very disrespectful considering the fact that their guests had a very early flight in the morning. Perhaps this was not the best weekend for her to be hosting AirBnB guests if she was planning on having a party during our stay. In all, we felt like more of an afterthought in someones basement. We did have a great time in DC and the location of the apartment was great..just choose a different host!
