I really enjoyed my stay! The place is as described... neat and tidy, wonderful decor, loved all the kitchen amenities and all the sunlight, plus all the bathroom and washer/dryer extras. It's an awesome location - you can walk everywhere (I did, even to National Mall area) and it's safe. Maggie checked in with me a lot to make sure I was ok and if I needed anything, which was super kind and very much appreciated and is rare in my experience.
A few things to note, as I am a picky traveler... the apt is located right near a noisy part of U street area. I heard stuff at night while in the living room, but not when in the bedroom. I also heard feet walking above me occasionally as well, due to it being the basement unit. The bed was very squeaky due to its style and age. The front door of the apt has a big glass panel right in the middle, and there were no curtains on the inside (which was a little jarring). Once you get inside the apt, in order to lock the deadbolt, it requires a key - so if you lock it while you are inside, then in order to leave the apt you must use the key to unlock it every time - which was not only a pain, but seems to me like it would be a code violation/fire hazard. (There is also a doorknob lock and a chain.) The door was sticky (prob due to weather) so I had to slam it shut every time. I'd say the thing I liked the least was that the recycle and trash bins were kept right outside the front door, and they not only stunk but attracted flies and mosquitos. I got bitten a bunch and it was generally really quite gross to have to wade through them each time I came and went. If the bins were relocated, and the door issues fixed, this really would have been one of the best stays I've ever had using Airbnb.
