Basement apartments often feel like basements - dark, damp, low ceilings. Not so with this beautiful apartment. So many lighting options to make it bright and cheery, normal ceiling height, great new HVAC to let you control the environment. Alex and his lovely wife were anxious to help us settle in and enjoy our stay, which we certainly did. Super-comfortable bed, abundant cable tv choices, good wi-fi, new appliances, top-notch craftsmanship throughout the apartment. Loved the location, too. Easy walks to metro, shopping and many restaurants. Our new favorite in DC!
