John was a very kind, courteous, and hospitable host. I had some issues during my stay, and John was extremely kind and apologetic about them, and ended up resolving them for me, which I really appreciated . For one issue early on, he acted very quickly, and had some brand-new-in-box sheets brought over (there was a problem with the sheets on the bed when I arrived) within a couple hours of my contacting him (I left and came back and they were nicely dropped at my door). He politely took care of a few other problems I had, as well.
However, there were some noticeable problems with the property. The bathrooms and kitchen badly need a deep clean, and there was a lack of amenities - TP, hand soap, trash bags, etc. To be fair, it is longer-term stay accommodation, so at some point, the guest/tenant should be expected to provide these for themselves, but it's my impression/understanding that these basics should be initially provided for any new guest upon arrival. There were no trash bags when I got there, and it turned out one poor person in the house had been buying all of the soaps and trash bags for months because no one else would, and they were not otherwise replaced by the host.
Overall, a good price (one of the cheaper AirBnBs in D.C.) and a pretty good location, and the room itself was perfectly fine - pretty clean, spartan, comfortable, efficient, and functional despite it's size. Some issues with noise, but that really depends on the tenants living in the house, and YMMV - some might not be bothered by it so much. I actually kind of liked the room, in a way, and the host is gracious and polite. It's just the other aspects of the condo that really need some work.
