6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
We visit DC twice a year. From the color and all of the details inside, you can tell the owners truly love DC. We were able to walk everywhere. Pet friendly, and the Union Market location was just perfect. There is a Gold’s Gym that’s a quick 8 min walk that offers a very reasonable temporary membership. Trader Joe’s is also walkable. The parking situation was fantastic which can be hard to find in DC. Owners were very communicative to get the code to check in. However, this home is not clean. And that’s so sad because it’s such a special place. Hairballs in the shower and my daughter went to clean her face with a “clean” towel from the stack and a hairband covered in hair fell out. I had to clean the outside of the fridge, the faucets, and I attempted to walk barefoot and stuff kept sticking to the bottom of my feet. It was dirty. I feel like someone came in and remade the beds and that’s it. I would have rewashed all the linens to be sure we were sleeping on clean sheets but there’s no washer and dryer. The bed in the middle room is absolutely not a full size bed. We had two young adults in that room and they could hardly fit in the bed. The locks kept glitching and sometimes we had to leave through the backyard. There were no TVs in the bedrooms. My biggest complaint is how dirty it was. I have no idea what people are paying for when they pay for the cleaning fee, because this place is not being professionally cleaned. Honor this special place and have it deep cleaned.
