My mother, brother and I stayed at this wonderful home for our DC vacation for 4 nights.
PROS: the space itself is very comfortable. The area has a nice king bed and two sofas in the living area that is very comfortable. My mom liked the grey sofa and decided to sleep on that instead. My mother loved the kitchen especially due to the ability to cook fresh home cooked meals for us. The area is in a great location overall a ride to the mall is 13 bucks and cheaper if you do Lyft ride share. The host is very nice and will accommodate for your needs! I felt like home staying there it was so cozy.
Suggestions: I knew the WiFi didn’t work however reception is really bad there. My mother has metropcs powered by t mobile and her reception was really good. Just an FYI for those of you that have ATT you will need to step outside to get a Lyft especially if you are in a hurry bc the lag is really bad if you have metro you shouldn’t have an issue. bring a lighter or matches! The stove is powered by gas :) There was a bit of spider and spider webs down there luckily we aren’t afraid of them but if you have severe fear of spiders let the host know lol there is a really dangerous area around this place. Not sure exactly where but my mom saw a man get knifed down and bleed 10 minutes away from the area. She says it’s by a place next to a “pollo a la brasa” restaurant aka peruvian rotisserie chicken. She walked down there to get food and she saw what looks like a gang related incident...luckily police and ambulance arrived in one minute. Just an FYI for those of you thinking about exploring the area outside Irving street be sure you are safe and with someone.
In summary: Buy matches or lighter if you plan to cook. Metropcs powered by T-Mobile has great reception there NOT ATT. Cheap Lyft. Great host. Will come by again with my fiancé :)
