pros:
beautiful place in a beautiful area
a ten minute walk to stores, restaurants, and the metro
professionally cleaned
easy checkin
stellar communication with host
extremely well-decorated
an excess of blankets, towels, pillows
cons:
construction woke me daily and made the back walkway unusable (ended after 3 days)
noisy upstairs neighbors (every day)
no access to climate control
many outlets not working
under-stocked house supplies and toilet paper
inconsistent cleaning. the bathroom was blindingly white but there was a rug-sized dust plate under my bed that was not swept.
the outside trash cans were not set apart from the others. had to touch 10 other unit trash cans to find the right one.
again, communication with the host was stellar and she addressed issues as they arose. 4/5 for basic inconveniences but will definitely stay again when I'm in dc.
