The hosts are very friendly and want to provide a great experience in Washington, DC. They provide transit cards that make it easy to use the buses and Metro system. The apartment is in the basement of a row-house in the northeast portion of the city. They have made the space feel very warm and comfortable. They checked to make sure we were comfortable several times. I was impressive with how clean the place was, especially no bugs, since it is a basement apartment. The space was warm and comfortable during our stay in January. We appreciated the instant coffee machine and many different technologies, such as Roku and Wii, to entertain ourselves because we visited during a snow storm when the city shut down. The kitchen is adequately supplied to cook meals to hold down costs while visiting DC and there is a grocery store about 0.5 miles away. I would stay at this place again.
