The hosts Melissa and Tim were nice and thoughtful. They replied fast and were helpful.
Pros of the basement apartment:
Everything necessary is available (washer, coffee machine, oven, snacks, etc)
A few blocks away from tons of restaurants and stores
Clean and well designed with nice Art
Easy parking
Lovely neighbors
Cons:
-No control over AC but i think it was on Auto most of the time (fan available too)
-Bugs and mosquitoes can come in easily when walking in and out of the apt
Overall, I stayed for about 3 weeks, and would definitely stay here again if i'm in DC
