Lara & Alex’s place is exactly as the pictures show.
It is a very spacious modern basement in Chevy Chase.
For us, it was conveniently located 5 minutes to my sister’s apartment in Chevy Chase.
We were 5 people and needed two rooms to keep privacy as we were visiting DC for my sister’s graduation. I needed separate rooms for my parents.
Each room had a confortable queen bed. Each closet had enough extra a blankets and towels if needed.
The living room had a sofa that turned into a bed. They also provided a nice memory foam pad for the sofa bed that made it extremely confortable.
They also had a dining table for six people and all the amenities you need in a kitchen.
The kitchen was equipped with a stove oven, but since we cooked breakfast every day, we would have preferred to have a dishwasher available rather than an oven. So, be mindful, if you are in a large group and cooking, you have to wash the dishes by hand.
We had a lovely stay at their place. We only have the following comments:
- The owners of the house above the basement have little kids. They run around the house and you can hear them during the morning. That didn’t bother us much since we woke up early to get ready and left the place to the different events we had planned.
- when you are getting ready for the graduation events, there is not a full body mirror at the place. This is a mi it issue, but I just wanted to point it out.
- they have a NEST thermostat that was password protected. In the email with instructions, we didn’t received the password.
Overall, it was a lovely stay. Th communication was was very easy.
He place was conveniently located for us, but we didn’t try public transportation, we used Uber XL anywhere. The fare to downtown was around $27.
I would recommend mend his place for large groups, you don’t feel you are in a confined space. The lighting and bathroom was very modern.
And and all a great experience
