This is a newly remodeled basement apartment that is very nicely done. The kitchen is fully functional and everything is tastefully done. We loved the neighborhood. We took walks every evening and enjoyed the scenery and always felt safe. The location is convenient as it is two blocks from a bus stop that can take you to the center of DC in 20 minutes. The Georgia/Petworth Metro Station is about a dozen blocks away.
Cons
I have asthma and an allergy to feathers. During our first night of four there I had trouble breathing. I asked for different pillows, new sheets and a vacuum because feathers were everywhere. The owner came down and vacuumed, provided pillows and sheets. I discovered that the sheet set was incomplete when making the bed and asked for another sheet. In an exchange of multiple messages, I was told to look in different parts of the apartment for another sheet. The owners live upstairs and wouldn’t be bothered to simply bring a sheet down. They contacted their property manager who called late at night and was very rude and unhelpful. This experience made us feel unwelcome there.
My husband and I were Air BnB hosts for ten years and we learned that when people are away from home, little things that are left unattended can become big things. This was a prime example. Our hosts got all of the big things right and failed on a little thing then it was compounded by the rudeness of the property manager.
