This place is amazing for the location…but that’s about it.
Pros: location cannot be beat. Near a lot of food. Four streets away from Georgetown university. Good public transport connections too.
Con: I always get a bad feeling if an owner pressured you into giving 5 stars off the bat. And this time was no exception.
- to get into the Airbnb, we were given a wrong code and had to ask for new ones. This is on top of waiting till 4 pm to check in which is definitely on the later side. But also they message you saying you can enter earlier for a fee which I find just greedy. When we finally got into the apartment, the laundry machine was still going. So god knows how the clothes and sheets that were in the washer for 4 days turned out. If you have a four pm check in you probably should finish everything before then.
- the alleyway to get into the apartment has a bunch of bugs and wasps. I get that it’s dc , but just a heads up if you’re not familiar with DC summers.
- the Airbnb has a lot of potential but I definitely think the owners can put a little more TLC into the place which would make it incredible. At the moment, the couch is super old and gross, there’s a hole in the floor, and we had a plumbing issue which they ignored. (As an fyi, if you want to get to the bathroom you need to go through two bedrooms. It’s just the the design of the house which is fine but just fyi for people who may not have been in some row homes before).
Overall, for the price, meh. If the Airbnb gets a renovation, totally worth it. If you want to stay in Georgetown, it’ll do the job.
