I had some issues during and following the stay. A few things about the room: there was no TV, the outlet covers were ill fitting, the art in the pictures was gone and just screws in the wall, several exposed fixtures in the bathroom and the walls are thin so you can hear all others staying in the home. Next, there was construction posting prohibiting parking from 7a-7p in the "free parking" indicated in the listing. Then, my son fell on the wooden steps due to the no shoe rule. He ended up with a minor injury that just required first aid. There was some blood which stained one of the towels (which resulted in the issues following the stay, I paid for the towel but the host was rude saying the steps aren't ever slippery and my son must have spilled something.--- these are high glossed wooden steps without any stair grips).
Lastly, the host is playing pretty fast and loose with the term "walking distance" for places to eat or attractions, even by DC standards. It is certainly not an area I would be comfortable walking alone anyway.
***I didn't contact the host during the stay or plan to write a review initially as I was gonna chalk it all up to just a bad experience.
