I did not enjoy my stay at "Suburbia in the City". The location was not ideal for those who are visiting DC, there is no public transportation near, riding in a cab is a necessity and very costly ($60 a day). Every cab driver and locals I spoke with told me that the neighborhood I was in was very dangerous and to carry pepper spray at all times. Me and the other 2 who stayed had to run into the house everyday, because there were fights in the streets and people yelling and cursing at each other (right outside our door!)
The host did not notify me what time she wanted us to check out, she then harassed me by calling me numerous times and when I did speak to her she was unnecessary mean spirited to me. She demanded that we pay her more money for staying later into the day, even though she never gave us a check out time. AirBnb is NOT a hotel service, times vary, I've had another experience where check out time was at 6pm. We did not stay pass Sept. 30th and thus did not pay her.
I absolutely regret my stay, I DO NOT recommend anyone to rent out the room. I was scared to even step outside the apt; thus paying $60 a day for a cab to be out of the neighborhood as much as possible. And the owner made me feel awful, something a paying customer should not have to experience.
