I feel like a little bit more accurate review is needed. It’s a good deal for the price and location. The pictures are accurate. Be aware the bathroom is very very tight. Overall it’s clean enough. but not updated or maintained. It’s a tired space for sure. Parking was very easy. That was appreciated. On my last morning at 7am the host opened a door to the space at the top of some stairs and turned on the lights in the unit and started rummaging through items. I was asleep. I did not think or expect anyone in the space. Very very unsettling for sure and did not feel safe or secure

Cameron. I appreciate your response in general. The way you describe the place as being outdated or tired looking is the opposite of the pictures that you said show the place accurately. Guests have the option to see the pictures and judge for themselves. Guests all have repeatedly said they felt safe in the place inside or outside, sorry you felt that way. Good luck

Now, the place: 1) The neighborhood is beautiful and safe!! 2) Parking is free and unlimited, 3) 15 min walk to the metro, 4) full kitchen, 5) washer and drier.

Cozy spot conveniently placed for travel

This room is small, but comfortable, and has all the basic necessities for a nice stay. Brita Filter, Kuerig machine, pots and pans, cups, plates, and bowls, are provided along with a Fridge, Microwave, stove, and oven. The bed is comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet, making for nice sleep. the house is a 15-25 minute walk away from both the Tenleytown AU and Friendship Heights Metro stops, making travel to Maryland, Virginia, and Downtown DC relatively simple.
