Pros
1) Location: convenient location- everywhere is within a 15-25 min walk. Safe and trendy neighborhood.
2) Amenities: full kitchen & laundry available, which was nice to have.
3) Host is a good communicator: Payam returned our messages in a very timely manner.
Cons
1) The noise. This Airbnb is located in the basement level of a multi- story unit. The people who reside above the unit sounded like they were stomping on the floor 24/7. Over the weekend they were up till 4/5AM walking around and partying- we barely slept due to the noise. The ceiling was paper thin & we could hear *everything* above us. As a light sleepers, this was a nightmare.
2) There are a few different sleeping options. 1 full bed, a futon, and a twin air mattress. They were all pretty uncomfortable. I understand this is an Airbnb and we won’t be sleeping on memory foam mattresses but the sleeping options were dismal. The futon was a thin layer of fabric over wood (akin to sitting in a public bench) and the mattress was very hard & stiff. My back was sore after the first night.
Overall we were happy with the location & communication but will look elsewhere for lodging the next time we visit DC.
