Overall we had a good stay. The apartment was very clean and we enjoyed the location. The bed was comfortable and the appliances are high-end (Bosch). The apartment is very walkable to Dupont Circle and metro with many buses, shops and restaurants nearby.
A few things in the apartment could use some TLC, and these fixes would go a long way to making the stay 5 stars. The dining table has some damage/bubbling on the top. It would really improve the feel of the space if the hosts replaced it. Also, there are scuffs on the bedroom walls and the rug looked a little worn.
As others have mentioned, the street noise can be quite loud. The sound machine helps, but we also recommend bringing earplugs. Given the central location, though, this didn’t bother or surprise us too much.
