Very pleasant basement apartment. Nicely freshly decorated. We enjoyed the comfortable bed. Plenty of lights , just right for downstairs, although there was natural light through the door & front window. The shower was a pleasant surprise, I much prefer a bath since I have difficulty rinsing my thick hair in a shower, but this shower had enough pressure to get it very clean. Truly was a great pretty tiled shower! We are always fearful with a basement that we will hear noise from upstairs, thankfully there was not enough to disturb us. Just a few light footfalls. We slept well & felt safe. We much appreciated the welcome note & bottle of wine. Plenty of coffee too. We didn’t cook, so the microwave, mini fridge & coffee maker were just right for our needs. The location was excellent. Literally around the corner from the zoo. An easy pleasant safe walk. We saw the pandas! It was a pleasure to meet the hosts, they were quick to reply to our inquiries and very accommodating. Check in was easy. Very convenient to have a washer & dryer. The AC worked well & quickly in the 95 degree days. It was a pleasure to have a comfortable place to come back to in the evenings while in DC. Thank you to the hosts for their help, & kindness.
