Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was not clean. The stove was sticky and grungy. The oven was not clean. The dishwasher smelled. There was a dirty coffee cup in the cupboard. There were only two wine glasses. There were lots of black fingerprints and scuffmarks on the walls. There was a constant smell of someone on the premises smoking pot. The floors were not clean. The bottoms of my slippers were filthy when I left. I did not bring them home. The entrance to the property was not clean. There were two big cobwebs with spiders in them on the transom above the front door. I spent five hours the morning after we arrived cleaning. The couch in the living room was very low and uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. The plastic chairs at the dining room table had gross dirty pillows on them. One of the plastic chairs was broken and crudely taped and glued together. There were six unhoused people every night camping out across the street in front of a store that is for lease. One night a fight broke out and DC police had to be called to break up a fight. The roof top deck was nice but needed to be cleaned to use it. Overall, the place looked much better in pictures than in real life. The place needs a deep clean. It needs new sheets and towels. Some of the towels.had black marks on them from not being completely clean and were very thin. Be prepared for climbing lots of steep steps — 10 to get to the entry and 17 to get up to the unit through the front door. I do not recommend this unit

Our family of four - mom, dad 2 teens - enjoyed this place immensely! The host is fantastic! The second bedroom has two beds which sealed the deal when we found it online. The other reviews were very accurate - clean, modern, comfortable - with all the amenities you could desire. We did not cook anything other than eggs for breakfast so I can’t speak to the kitchen at any length. The rooftop was really fun for our teens, especially late at night. The neighborhood could be described as “up and coming” or as a colleague described it as “it’s a block by block situation.” We are not light sleepers and hail from a big city. Each night, we fell asleep to the sounds of police sirens. There are homeless sleeping in the shadows of the neighboring stores. To be clear, we had zero negative interactions with anyone. We can roll with that - it’s not a unique problem to DC. or this area. But something you might want to know.
