There are a lot of good things to say about this unit. The location is great! You can easily walk to the Wharf for dinner, and those up for a little more exercise can walk to key attractions like the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. The neighborhood is quiet, despite being in a big city.The unit was well-stocked with kitchen supplies, and the host provided additional towels/washcloths upon request. The host is a gem, very kind and working hard to make sure you have a good experience. We loved the fact that this rental has 3 bedrooms, making it easy to space out our children.There are some maintenance items that need to be addressed in the unit, but the biggest problem we encountered is that the HVAC system is simply incapable of keeping up with the summer heat. Even though the host set it to 70 degrees on the first floor, I never saw it get below 73. The second floor is quite warm, and it was difficult to spend much time there without being uncomfortable. The third floor is equipped with two room air conditioners for the bedrooms, which made sleeping possible. You have to leave them running 24/7 or they will "fall behind" and not cool easily to your desired temperature in the evening. There is very little AC in the bathrooms.One other downside to the unit is that there is no outside space for kids to play or adults to relax in the evening. If the AC were fixed and there was a little extra deep cleaning, I would give this unit a 5-star rating.
