Sketchy Owner, Good Location
Pros:
This Airbnb was a nice location in the heart of Capitol Hill. Locating the key, checking in, and checking out was simple and clearly communicated via their additional website. They also clearly communicate rules and anything that could result in a fee. The place was straightened up and was a cozy place. The owners were kind enough to check-in on us during our stay to make sure things were going okay.
Cons:
-If you read reviews in the past, all will tell a story of a missing key fob which Vince will tell you is in the Airbnb, until you realize it doesn’t exist. This is necessary for getting roof access, but despite many guests not being able to locate the key fob, Vince does not address this directly and gives you the run around. You will not have roof access when renting this - making it considerably less valuable of a spot.
-Additionally, the AC is powered via a unit you plug into the wall - the place will get down to about 74 C with the AC unit at its coldest setting.
-The apartment is somewhat cleaned and straightened upon arrival, but some things just don’t look like they’ve ever been cleaned. For example, we spent a good amount of time wiping stickiness off the spice jars which seem to never have been cleaned.
