It's clear that Nathan and Brittany have put a lot into making their English basement apartment a home away from home! The design is modern and beautiful even though cozy. The two A/C units were a must for hot DC summers! We had a little problem with one of the units which Nathan responded to promptly. We did not rent a car while visiting DC and did just fine getting around by metro, scooters, and Lyft. A Whole Foods market is about 2 blocks away. The neighborhood felt safe and we enjoyed looking at the unique homes on their block.
