My overall experience was lukewarm, at best. I stayed here for 4 weeks while looking for permanent housing in the area. The location is great: quiet/safe neighborhood, friendly neighbors, easy access to BWI parkway, short walk to nightlife (H street), easy walk to Eastern Market. Also, there is a lot of space. Still, for the price, I was expecting a bit more from the apartment.

It had bare-bones furniture/items, which (as was explained to me) was because they had another tenant fall through who had wanted it completely unfurnished. Still, the pictures were a bit of a stretch and it was certainly not up to par with the Airbnb experiences I have had in the past. The 'host' (landlady) showed up shortly after I did and proceeded to spend the next hour assembling the apartment from boxes... cleaning kitchen/dishes, making the bed, etc... Sara was very polite and friendly but did not follow through with a few of the things that we had discussed: additional privacy divider for the 'bedroom' (its in the same space as the living room, no actual rooms, which the pictures are very deceptive about), she had mentioned installing a railing for the stairs going down (which are rather dangerous), removing an old, very smelly, couch that had previously been used as a dog bed, and bringing over some sort of table or desk for me to do work at. None of these things were done or followed up with. Overall quality of apartment and furniture could only be described as passable (dresser with some broken drawers, bed where pieces of frame fell off while sleeping). I also noticed a few small spiders/webs set up in the corners of the apt. This normally wouldn't bother me too much (its in a basement, after all), except after a few weeks I noticed spider bites on my ankles and feet.

Especially considering the cost (around $2600 for the month), I would not recommend anyone else to this apt.

It felt like this Airbib was posted as a desperate attempt to get some sort of tenant when a lease had fallen through at the last moment. I should have been wary when there were no reviews but I will be more careful in the future.
