I booked this room because Teresa was very friendly and accommodating when I inquired the housing (very responsive and recommends places to visit). I also had the confidence because of so many positive reviews and beautiful pictures.

However, we didn't have a positive experience here (only thing I liked about was the location and that Teresa's husband was nice to talk to). I don't know if it's just a one-time thing that we happened to experience, but it was by far my least positive airbnb experience.

Communication--Teresa didn't contact me until I reached out to her that we would arrive in the early afternoon and asked her how we should check in (the posting says 3pm checkin time). Teresa replies that her husband would be in the house after 2pm so we assumed it should be ready after that (or at the latest, ready after 3pm). HOWEVER, when we arrive at 4pm (we had some traffic), the previous guest just left and the used sheets and beddings were all over on the bed (well some of it was ready in the dryer). We found that very upsetting.

Accuracy--
Another things we found upset is its inaccurate listing.
First of all, we don't think it's reasonable to advertise it to host up to "8 people". we barely have room to move for 6 people. Okay this can be subjective so maybe I'm wrong.

But when the bedroom only has one full-sized bed and one twin-sized bed, the listing wrongfully states "The apartment's one bedroom has a queen-sized bed .... We recently added a daybed (twin-sized) that has a pop-up trundle (also twin-sized) in the bedroom. The daybed and trundle are not shown in the photos." "For parties of more than 6 people, one twin (single) or queen-sized airbed will be provided..."
This is not the case. There's not enough beds as described and 6 people definitely need an air bed.

Value--We paid 300+ for the one-day stay and felt it overpriced when we arrived. Yes it's a premium location and the house is nice. So, although I knew it was just the basement, I thought it was reasonable price because I believed it to be much larger than it actually is (When I believe it can host 8 people and has a bedroom that's big enough for 3 beds).
Since I don't know the real estate market in DC, this can be wrong. It's also possible that summer time is the most expensive season. But at the same time and for a similar price, in SF & LA we had a full house/apartment for 6 people. and for double the price we had 2.5 times the space in Manhattan upper west side near Central Park. I am stating the facts and I guess future guests can use their own discretion.
