Nelson was a clear communicator before and during our stay, and while he was not physically in town, his brother helped us out and Nelson checked in on us from far away. The room and the shared bathroom were very clean and had nice touches. We knew the location was in a quiet, residential neighborhood--about a 12 minute walk to a green line Metro and then only 15-minute ride to downtown. We parked on the street right in front of his house--very convenient--just paying attention to street cleaning. Unfortunately, the one thing that made our stay uncomfortable was that the apartment and especially our room trapped heat, even when it cool outside. Even using big fans we brought (to be prepared), trying to blow cool air (17C) in from outside, the room never went below 27C (81 F). In a heat wave, this room would be an oven. Nelson has assured us he will get an AC, but I'm surprised others have been able to stay there comfortably in the summer months thus far. Other than that, it was a good stay.
