The cohost Dora is very responsive and very helpful with any questions you have. The location is right outside a metro transfer station stop, literally in front of the door. Location is very quiet at night. You have to go upstairs to the first floor from the entrance and then go downstairs to the basement to get to the apt. The house is on the left side as soon as you get down the stairs. Since it's a basement, the windows of the living room and kitchen open up the the street level and at the eye level of pedestrians so probably not that private for summer. For winter, it is not an issue since we didn't open the windows. The combo wahser/dryer machine was very good. Dryers are rare since most air dry. The space is small, but seems to have been renovated so it's nicely decorated and clean.
