Small clean studio in a great location. Appreciated Justin's allowing an early check in . A little tricky to find as the vine's foliage now envelops most of the frontage so not as recognisable as the photo. Recommend a visit to the National Arboretum if you like trees and views

Unfortunately the apartment condition did not match the photos, or description. The apartment has great potential but is very tired at this point and needing attention. The teflon pots and pans are scratched to the point that they are unsafe. There was black mold in the bathroom ceiling, spiders in the cupboards and bathroom.There are no fly screens - so no fresh air without mosquitoes - and very hot/stuffy upstairsOne roller blind is missing affecting privacyThe listing is misleading as it says there is parking but there is only street parking which has 2 and 3 hour limits.The host would not communicate after asking for feedback.
