Delightful Apt in the Heart of Dupont

The location was very convenient, and the space itself was well-suited for me. As advertised, the apartment included a good range of appliances and basic necessities. However, it quickly became clear that the condition of the flat had changed since my friend—who recommended it—last stayed there.

There were maintenance and usability issues. The tea kettle had a broken release mechanism, and there were no instructions provided for the pod coffee maker. Additionally, nearby construction made the environment noisy at times. More concerning was the condition of the refrigerator, which had clearly not been working properly for some time. There was mini-fridge on site with a note suggesting it was a temporary workaround, indicating the issue had been ongoing. However, the mini-fridge was unplugged and needed cooling before using. When I reported this, the management company did respond in a reasonable timeframe and offered to send a technician during or after my stay. However, resolving a major appliance issue is not something a guest should have to deal with, especially since this was a known issue. It’s unfortunate that the owner has entrusted the property to a management company that does not appear to be attentive to the care and upkeep. While expectations for guests were clearly communicated, there was little effort to make up for the inconveniences caused by these unresolved issues.

Very well appointed apartment with all the amenities for a short stay. I loved having shower stuff as well as tools for breakfast provided. Codes worked great. It was close to subway and easy walk to attractions if we wanted to stretch our legs. Hosts were alos very responsive when I asked about parking and I found a spot 7 minuted walk from property.

I would have appreciated another hour on either check in or checkout. I didn't specifically need it so I didn't ask but it would have been nice.
