"Good location and comfortable bed"

7.0

The place is underground so it feels very cool and protected from hot days outside.

The fridge didn't work, and it was necessary to pay a security deposit whose criteria for charges were not explicitly stated.

"SEMI PRECIOUS STONE"

4.0

Location

This property could be a little gem with a little input from the host. As mentioned location is very good and is in a nice area and 15 minutes walk from the nearest metro station. It’s clean and has plenty of hot water, all of which you would expect. Parking is not free. Daytime parking is restricted to 2 hours free 8am- 6pm. Overnight is free. A visitor permit is required daytime and can be provided through the host at a cost. Ours was $20 for 4 days. It needs to be printed and displayed on the car. As we were unaware of this before leaving home accessing a printer was a problem. All this could be avoided if the property profile was accurate. The property itself lacked some simple stuff that would make the stay so much more enjoyable: Bedrooms: No bedside tables and light No chair or rack to place clothes No luggage stand Lounge: No coffee table No TV Kitchen: No plug for sink so washing a small amount of dishes difficult. Not really wanting to use dishwasher for 2 plates! No tea towels Bathroom: Only 2 old thin bath towels supplied for 4 night stay. No vanity shelf for toothbrush etc. The boiler in the bedroom cupboard is very noisy and will keep you awake all night if it’s not turned off. Deposit takes a week to be processed by the host and another 7 days to appear in the account. If the host took onboard some of the reviews instead of berating the guests and their feedback in her replies this certainly could be a little gem but now it’s just a semi precious stone!

Le calme. Faut dire que l'appartement est dans un sous sol

Pas de table basse au salon, pas de télé, mobilier de la cuisine vétuste POUR BOOKING:: J'ai payé pour 2 alors que j'ai passé mon séjour seul dans l'appartement. Je suis toujours en attente de mon remboursement par Booking. Si pas remboursé j'envisagerai de changer de fournisseur

We had booked the English Gem for a few days while we were in DC for a conference. The host was very friendly and responsive. The appartement offered a 'heaven of peace' to unwind after a long day of work, and provided all the comfort we needed. Located in nice and quiet neighbourhood of Washington A great value for a stay in DC!
