These basement apartments are pretty common in DC, and most seem fine for passing through the city; not sure I’d want to wake up there every day for a year. Chris has outfitted his with a top class fridge and gas stove, nice flooring, etc. The bedroom has a large closet and a dressing area in addition to the sleeping space. The living room feels a bit close, with its relative lack of light and low ceiling. The general darkness in the living/dining area isn’t an issue if you’re staying just a few days, and the bedroom window and the extra space there makes that room especially nice.
The shower is great, though the bathroom is a bit cramped.
The location of this place is great—very close to both Georgia Ave and 14th St., both with plenty of restaurant, bar and shopping options.
Protected parking comes with the rental, so if you have a car, that’s a sweet bonus.
We’d stay here again.
