Carlton communicated very well down to the last detail. According to Carlton, the unit had suffered some recent water damage from a storm. However, we could not even tell, thanks to the effort from our host in rushing to get brand new flooring installed and make drywall repairs in time for our stay. I've had past hosts cancel in a situation like this, but Carlton was exceptional. He even apologized that the final paint touch-ups had not been completed in the bathroom, which should not bother any reasonable guest anyway!
The place itself was perfect for our group. The bedrooms are well separated by the layout of the place giving each bedroom (and the sleeper sofa) a fair amount of privacy for each guest. It was a fun place to stay and the location is excellent; we had a short walk to the metro, and a short ride to see the DC attractions.
Highly recommend Carlton and this particular unit!
