This flat worked very well as a base for me while visiting a close friend who lives a block and a half from the airbnb. It’s cozy and well equipped and in a fantastic neighborhood with lots of charm. The bed is extremely comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen, while dated, are entirely serviceable (though I never ate at home, except for breakfast). The closet space available for guests in the bedroom is perfectly adequate and I appreciated the availability of an ironing board and iron. Internet was good, shower was hot, access to the flat was easy, communication with the hosts was good and they kindly left me a bottle of wine and cupcakes. I’m a 66 year old woman and walked home between 10:30p and midnight from my friend’s place around the corner and never felt unsafe. I occasionally heard the tenant upstairs doing his early morning routine, but it was not very loud and didn’t last long and I was able to go right back to sleep. You may run into a guy at the front door or in the hall outside the flat — he’s the dog walker for the upstairs tenant, so no worries. This will definitely be my home away from home when visiting D.C.
