Weâve stayed in many excellent short-term rentals via VRBO that deserved five-star ratings. To be fair to those exceptional stays, we can only rate this one as âjust okay.ââąThe property is located at the intersection of a major thoroughfare and a very busy street, resulting in constant and significant traffic noise. The front (larger) bedroom was particularly affected, making it difficult for us to sleep. If you require both bedrooms, earplugs are a must. Additionally, the property is situated along the ambulance route to a nearby hospitalâon one evening alone, we counted nine sirens passing directly under the bedroom window.âąThe furnishings, cabinets, appliances, and cookware are of lower quality, giving the space a budget feel. The owners could greatly improve the experience by upgrading essentials, such as replacing the warped and scratched pans.âąWhile the rental was generally clean, we were disappointed to find dirty pots and pans placed back in the cabinets upon arrival.That said, we did enjoy our stay in DC, as the location was convenient. Despite the issues mentioned, the property itself was acceptable, but it didnât stand out compared to other rentals weâve experienced.
