Teresa and Reid were pleasant hosts. Teresa was kind enough to upgrade me from "Ian's Room" to this one after I needed to change my seven-night stay to four nights because of a family obligation.

The apartment was as described in the listing: spacious, comfortable, and clean (not immaculate, but certainly clean enough). I loved having a private entrance. The washer and dryer were a great convenience. In the well-equipped kitchen were cereals, yogurt, milk, and juice, which were more than sufficient for breakfast. There was plenty of hot water for morning showers. Cathedral Heights is a great neighborhood in which to walk, and the Wisconsin and Mass Ave bus lines are close by.

The downside (at least for me)--also mentioned in other feedback--is that you hear, quite loudly, sounds from upstairs: walking (especially on the stairs between the 1st and 2nd floors); things being moved or dropped; music (Christmas, in my case); some conversations; and perhaps even a dog barking or whining. (Teresa mentions in her other, non-basement, listings that she occasionally dog-sits, but not in this one).

As she does mention in this listing, be aware that other residents can use the laundry facilities between 10a and 10p, which entails entering the apartment--whether you're there or not.
