(5/5) - **Anonymous**: "Douglas was an incredibly kind and proactive host. He was very fair and easy to work with. 10/10 host" (5/5) - **Anonymous**: "Great apartment in a convenient location!" (5/5) - **Anonymous**: "We had a wonderful stay at Douglas’s apartment. The location is excellent, the apartment was exactly as described, very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Douglas was a great host—communication was always quick and clear, and the check-in instructions were very detailed. The only small suggestion for improvement is that the August Home app requires a US (+1) phone number to activate the digital key. Since we were traveling from abroad, we couldn’t use the app and had to rely on the physical key instead. It wasn’t a major issue, but it may be helpful for international guests to know in advance. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!" (5/5) - **Anonymous**: "No air conditioning. View from apartment is of a brick wall about 10 feet away. Windows open about 2 inches. No closet in small bedroom. Building is basically empty. The walkway into the building is broken stone/concrete. The first floor rooms were empty and being painted and fumes caused breathing issues in the apartment. We vacated the apartment the next morning and had to find other lodging. We contacted the owner and told him that the apartment was unlivable. No AC and it was 98 degrees. Paint odor was unsafe. No closet in second bedroom." (2/5) - **Anonymous**: "Nice place, Great location if you want to be near the White House.
