6/10
Maria the property manager is very responsive and the check in process is 100% painless. This is a 125 year-old home split into 2 separate living spaces. This unit is at the front. I think it's proximity to I-70 makes it a great choice for 1-3 travelers needing a place for 1-2 nights. We are a family of 5 staying for 4 nights and it that is pushing the limits of the facility. Everything in the description is accurate, so there was nothing deceptive at all. I would just caveat that 'double beds' and no washer/dryer make an extended stay for 5 people slightly difficult. We used this as home base for our first DC visit. This cost is 50-100% lower than many units closer to DC or even in Derwood/Glenmont (furthest Metro stops) would cost. That value makes it hard to say anything bad about the place and I think my review takes the low, low cost into consideration. It is a beautiful (winding rural road) 30-minute drive into the Shady Grove or Glenmont Metro station and then an easy 30-minute Metro ride to downtown DC/mall/Capitol, Zoo, etc, which we made 3 straight days. We cooked two dinners in-house and ate from the townie restaurants two nights. You MUST go to Walkers pub, it is great. I would not tell anyone to avoid this rental, but will caveat everyone that the upstairs smells very much like a 125 year-old house, and most things have been hastily retrofitted or "upgraded"; there is low water pressure throughout, and the road noise out front is fairly significant.
