Jennifer's walkout basement apartment is sparkling clean, stylish and comfortable. It is 1.5 blocks to the metro, which is just a few stops from attractions. Walkable to the famous Eastern Market, too! That's good, because even though we had a car, driving (and parking) in DC is problematic. So we relied on public transportation. FREE parking was a super bonus. Electronic check-in was convenient if you are arriving at odd hours.
Jennifer had all the amenities (and more) you would expect in a hotel suite: kitchenette with sink, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, Keurig and coffeemaker with plenty of coffee and tea. The unexpected? A washer/dryer unit, which was very helpful. Kitchen could have been better lighted, and hanging storage and drawer space was limited, but not a problem.
Bathroom was small but sparkling clean with great water pressure.
Business traveler? Wifi was great and uninterrupted! Lots of outlets and a writing desk.
As for the question you are probably asking: Was the basement apartment damp or musty? Jennifer had a dehumidifier and fan on 24/7, along with a portable AC unit. All this made for a very comfortable stay. At about $100 a night, it was a very reasonable place, especially for the location.
