Pros-
-LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. The wharf is so nice, and is literally a three minute walk away. Tons of restaurants and things to do over there. ALSO only a 15 minute walk from the Smithsonian and National Mall. If you’re looking to explore the history and explore the culture, this is the place for you.
-Parking included? YES PLEASE!
-Had everything we needed for an easy stay during our time in DC. -Luisa and her husband were very quick to reply to questions and were accommodating to us.
-Cheaper than any decent hotel around
Cons-
-Cleanliness was questionable for us. The space was very tidy, but for the price, our expectation was a crisp, bright, immaculate space (especially considering the cleaning fee). We found hair on the sheet after pulling the comforter back, and there was a large yellow stain on the shower curtain. It may seem very particular, but again, we expected “clean” to leave no argument for otherwise.
- For us, the bed was very uncomfortable and noisy. Every time I moved, I woke up from loud creaking of the bed frame.
-in my opinion, the pictures are a little deceiving, as they display a very well lit space with tons of natural light. In reality, the space is very dimly lit, and don’t bother opening the blinds to let natural light in, because you’ll see the patio space reserved for the upstairs renters outside the bedroom, or the sidewalk from the front. Neither is great for privacy.
All things considered, we would definitely choose to stay here again if Luisa would have us. We just hope a couple things could be improved in the future to maximize the renter’s value of this space.
