The place was as depicted and cozy; just what you need for a short business trip to DC. The hosts were welcoming and communication was great. So why would I not recommend staying there? First, the walls are paper thin and there was a lot of noise till approx. midnight on two nights. As such, given that I usually head to bed early, I was unable to sleep. The AC in the bedroom is extremely noisy (how about moving it to the kitchen?) which meant having to decide between noise or temperature. Second, there is no privacy. The listing states "Entire Home/Apt." However, there is no way to lock the door to the place and the hosts keep the right to walk through the place whenever they need to do laundry (!). This, in my opinion, is not acceptabe.
