This is a beautiful, cozy, renovated basement with modern appliances, an updated bathroom (with a fantastic, roomy shower!) and comfortable furnishings. The hosts have made excellent use of their basement space, with lots of lighting and plenty of room in the layout, which gives it a bright and airy feel. I stayed for a weekend (Fri-Mon) and completely felt at home. I was able to cook a full meal in the kitchen and had a lovely time staying in and watching a movie.
Jeff and Melanie were wonderful hosts - they communicated with me throughout the weekend regarding a couple minor issues and were very responsive to solving the problem. There is a fold-out couch bed, and they provide extra bedding and pillows.
I am very happy to have found this place for my stay - the location is less than 10 minutes from both Union Station and Columbia Heights by car, and there are bus stops located just a quick walk to North Capitol Street and Michigan Ave. You can also walk to Trinity Washington University and Catholic University of America.
I am very thankful to Jeff and Melanie for their kindness and hospitality. I highly recommend this place for your next stay!
