I have to say first off that Courtney was a great communicator and welcoming host and that the space was quite clean and the bed comfortable. But while I do not think she at all aimed to deceive, the space was much smaller than I expected based on the pictures for some reason. I guess I just miss-judged that. The ceilings are quite low in this basement apartment so it makes it feel a bit cramped. I also suppose I have grown quite accustomed to having things like an oven and stove as well as a way to control the heating when I am expecting to have an “entire place” so though I knew this would be a basement apartment I was not anticipating that this one does not have those things, I did not look closely at the amenities for an oven or stove so that is my fault, I have stayed at other basement apartments in DC before on Airbnb that did not have these issues for me so based on that I found the price honestly a little high for what it was. My main issue though, with the place was that each morning I was there I was awoken to very loud sounds coming from the host’s family/small child in their above residence at around 7am each day. The insulation between this space and the upstairs is very thin so that we could practically hear everything upstairs, especially when anyone was directly above us, I did find it a bit inconsiderate that there was a child running and stomping and sometimes apparently just banging on the floor above us at such an early hour of the day, it was extremely loud and bothersome at those times, otherwise we were away from the apt and at night it was quiet, so if you are an early riser (before 7am) this shouldn’t bother you, but if you want to sleep past then it is pretty difficult and something to keep in mind.
