I rented this place for my father on a visit to DC. He normally doesn't like basement apartments, but this one was very bright and open with lots of light. The remotes were without batteries when he first arrived, but some fresh batteries were delivered promptly after we were in touch with the hosts. The one thing we found lacking was the shower temperature. The rest of the hot water (kitchen, bathroom sink) got to a nice scalding hot, but the shower water didn't leave that option -it was mentioned to the host and they said they would look into it. Jason & Sandi's place was very clean, stylish, and in a great location. Definitely would recommend.
