This apartment was conveniently located near the bus stops and stores. Being that it was a basement apartment, we occasionally could hear steps above us but it wasn't all the time and not loud. It also was very clean, neat and casual. Not too fancy but comfortable.
I was surprised how quiet it was inside even though it was next to a busy street. Its a spacious apartment and comfortable for the 2 of us, though it could sleep more since there was a futon couch and 2 roll away beds. There were plenty of windows to let in daylight so it wasn't dark.
The bathroom is a bit small, though it has a large shower. The one bedroom was long and narrow and there wasn't much room between the bed and the wall, but we did fine. The bed was comfortable for me too. The dresser had plenty of drawer space too.
I really appreciated that there was a washer and dryer with laundry soap available and all that you could need in the kitchen. It was well stocked.
The heater worked well, though sometimes it made this knocking noise as it kicked on.
A very comfortable place to come back to after touring around DC. We didn't want to drive into DC so we took the bus, which takes an hour to go 4.5 miles. But we didn't have to fight traffic or pay for parking. We never got to meet Matthias but he responded quickly to my texts when I had questions. And he accepted our reservation on very short notice since our previous place canceled on us the night before we were to stay due to unforeseen issues. I would recommend this place which is in a nice neighborhood.
