1 Bedroom Luxury DC Experience

⸻ The apartment was nicely decorated, clean, and located in a quiet building, which I appreciated. However, my overall stay was disappointing due to a few major issues. The air conditioning was not working, and the temperature inside the apartment was around 80 degrees, which made it very uncomfortable. I ended up leaving early because it was too hot to stay. The host mentioned she would send a fan, but unfortunately, it never came. I also noticed some bugs during my stay. Overall, while the place had potential, these issues affected my experience.

The apartment has possibilities: It is fairly modern for Washington D.C. It was clean, had a full kitchen, nice bathroom, and separate bedroom. However, the couch was very spotted and the apartment is located on a busy street, but these were minor. The real problem was that the air conditioning did not function and the weather was in the mid 90's during the day and in the 70's at night with high humidity; so the apartment never was cooler than a sweltering 80 degrees, making it impossible to sleep. To the owners credit, they did try to correct the problem, but they are located in California and had to rely on the building superintendent for local support -- consequently there was none, at least during our stay. In good faith, the owners agreed to refund a portion of our rent, but the problem was unresolved.

Very nice place

The stay was all good and the apartment was cozy and clean. It’s on a nice little strip with a few restaurants, a good coffee shop, and a Dollar General right down the road. Check in was smooth but the day before we were supposed to check in I was told I needed to pay an additional $90 for a cleaning fee. House rules also specify that check-out is 11am but the cleaners knocked on the door at 9:20 and again at 9:45 and we felt like we were being rushed to leave.
