This is not a great place to stay. If you're solely looking for place with a convenient location and nothing else whatsoever, it gets the job done. But our stay was not a comfortable one. Even though it is a shared situation, this place still had very low value. For starters, we stayed in the room right next to the bathroom, where the shower sounds were so loud in our room, we had to hope that other guests would not take a shower at too late a time. The water pressure was terrible as well.
The room itself barely had anything in it, aside from a smart table that can be raised or lowered, which, why would anyone need that over, say, a nightstand lamp? There is also a really bright skylight that cannot be closed, so best hope you're a morning person. The listing advertises for "free street parking", which might be technically true, but there is close to no chance to find parking near the place. Virtually all parking spots nearby are "resident permit parking only". If you're visiting town, even if they are available, that simply is not helpful. They might as well tell the guests "you should just plan to pay for parking".
If you've bothered to read this far, there is an incident with the stay that was the final draw for us. The entrance door is controlled by a keypad, so common sense would suggest that's the only lock that's to be used by all guests. We came back late one night and could not get in no matter how many times we entered the passcode. It took a minute for us to realize that some other guest had locked a second front door lock, which isn't controlled by the keypad but rather a key that was not given to all the guests. That guest obviously wasn't at fault because they likely just locked both locks without thinking. But this left us standing in the cold at midnight with no place to go. Luckily, one of the hosts picked up his phone and made his way over -- after an HOUR. We were standing in the street past midnight in Washington D.C., where everything was closed. The host showed up and played with the lock for 10 minutes and finally figured it out. We were exhausted and freezing by the time our night ended at this Airbnb that we'd paid full price for. The hosts did not do their job in communicating with all their guests about how to operate this shared space, and unfortunately we ended up suffering.
The worst part? I reached out to Airbnb for a refund because this lockout incident caused us a lot of distress in an unfamiliar town and took away much joy of our trip. Yet the hosts could not admit their mistakes and refused to provide me with any kind of refund, saying that if we had found anything problematic we should've reported it during our trip. Well, we were still trying to roll with the conditions and not needlessly complain. But these hosts seem to hold very little accountability for their poor service and take advantage of their guests.
If you've read all this, let me be clear: if ALL you're looking for is a convenient location in Washington D.C., I don't see why you shouldn't stay with these folks. But if you hope to get any value at all out of your stay, don't stay here.
