The residence was clean and spacious. It retained all the supplies and utensils to lend for a comfortable stay. Bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were well updated. Everything was very clean. The concern is not the property, but rather the location itself. Upon check in on Thursday around 4:30PM in the well lit street while parking, we were approached by two males who were threatening and by their word choice (not appropriate to spell out here). We did not feel safe and were no longer comfortable or looking forward to our stay. We spent the next 90 minutes on the phone with VRBO who stated they could not make any changes or last minute cancellations, and that we needed to contact the property host. During this time, my mother had spoken to Eric, the property manager who stated that this was a safe area and that we should contact the police if this happens again. Not wanting to lose our entire trip cost, we proceeded with our check in. On Friday night, we returned from dinner only to find that there were police case number cards in our car doors. The entire passenger side of two car doors had been shot and per the police report, 12 casings recovered. We again reached out to the property manager, now with picture evidence of broken windows and bullet holes in our cars. The response from the property manager was [excerpt] " DC is a city that has a total area of only 68.34 square miles, please be advised we are not responsible for events occurring in the district, happening outside of the property and outside of our control." We even requested that they call us, a call which was never made. Our Saturday was spent cleaning up glass, visiting the police station for reports, calling our insurance, and taping up our windows instead of touring and sightseeing D.C. In short we communicated our concerns of safety to both VRBO and the property manager on separate occasions regarding two specific concerns. Neither of which were taken seriously and no actions of concern were experienced. Even after our stay was completed, we reached Eric to express our concerns and left a voicemail which was never returned. This was an awfully dangerous experience that could never be recommended to anyone staying in D.C. at a VRBO. Photos of our cars and police reports can be provided.
