I had the best time while staying at Kristin's place! The accomodations are exactly as comfy as they seem in the pictures and the basement is well equipped with everything you might need for short or long stays. The bedroom, living room and bathroom are spacious and modern. Even without the stove, the improvised kitchen is eqquiped with a coffee maker and a microwave that helped me a lot during my one-month stay. There are also a washing machine and a dryer available for guests. Kristin herself was the best hostess! She was kind and available whenever I needed her help or any kinds of information. The basement works as an independent annex of the house where she lives with her family, so I felt very comfortable during my whole stay. The noises above didn't bother me at all. Additionally, the location is very strategic: the place is located at only 15 min (walking) from the Fort Totten Station (red line) and there's a bus stop in front of the house. The neighborhood is very quiet and secure; there is a wallmart nearby the house, as well as some restaurants and a coffee shop - Culture Coffee Too - which I strongly recommend. I really enjoyed my stay in DC and at Kristin's place, and I would certainly come back if I had the chance!
