Katie's place was the perfect spot for us to use as our base-camp to explore for five days. We were only minutes from the metro and the bus stops. Everything you need is a short walk away. Though you're in the basement, it doesn't quite feel like it. It has the feel of a studio. There's a washer and dryer located within the unit which was very useful. When we first arrived, the towels smelled of mildew pretty strongly, but it was nothing we couldn't fix. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!
