Ok so we had really high hopes for our stay here. The unit photographs well and is a desirable area close to Georgetown l’s best shopping and dining. Unfortunately we did have a few challenges that are worth noting.
On the arrival day we messaged the host to find out where the “parking on premise” was located. We were en-route when we discovered this was actually street parking (2 hr limit on weekdays) or a paid parking garage 1/2 a mile to 3/4 of a mile away. This was a big deal for us and availability was one of the reasons we choice this unit. Still, with few choices we soldiered on and checked in thinking we could resolve this issue.
This, unfortunately, became a big issue that took a lot of back and forth to resolve with us finally selecting a different unit in DC. While we are satisfied with the resolution, it honestly never should have occurred in the first place.
Beyond the parking here are a few other notes they might be relevant to a guest:
- There is not a normal refrigerator in the kitchen. What you see in the photos is what you get. Just a mini-fridge with a (very) small freezer shelf.
- Many if the furnishings photo well, but are a bit shabby chic in reality. (think worn rugs, a sofa cover that just feels a bit ick, no headboard for the bed, etc.)
- The washer / dryer is a combo unit. Personally i’ve never found these to be great and had difficulty getting just a “dry” cycle, but that’s probably me.
All in all it just felt like the unit listed better than it actually was and while the location was great, we just couldn’t make it work for our trip and ended up leaving early.
