The living spaces, bathroom, kitchen spaces all very nice, truly. Modern, updated, nice decorating. Terrific neighborhood, streets are quaint and proximity to Eastern Market restaurants shops and Metro ideal. Owner was helpful and attentive as needs arose, like when the Internet went down a day and a half.
However, we felt the photos were not fully representative of what was available to us. The garden was strictly off limits despite six of the 20 photos--including the main profile photo--taken from within the garden space. That along with a review that spoke to their loving the garden space left us assuming we could access that area. No. Absolutely not according to the owner... says so in the property description. (She disagreed that the photos were misleading.) This revelation was hugely deflating as my wife spent a lot of time in the unit while I did business two of our four days. Before that we were tempted to look elsewhere at the time of reservation when discovering insurance protection for $89 was required (or incur an upfront $3,000 credit card charge that the owner had discretion to apply should damage be incurred.)
Look, if you simply want a very nice space to stay in a great location, with a second bed (murphy) and could care less about the garden, this one might be perfect for you. But not for us. Won't return.
