This basement apartment, just a few blocks from the Capitol, is ideal for a visit to D.C. A large room with a nice sitting area, comfortable bed, and a fully stocked kitchen made for a great visit. Extra touches like a parking permit and a Metro pass made it easy to navigate DC. The owners live upstairs so there is a bit of noise from the family but otherwise the place had little to no road traffic noise. The owners had maps, guide books, suggestions for restaurants and stores nearby, and other reading material to get your bearings in the city and the neighborhood. I had no problems but ran into Edith a few times and it was clear she would have handled any issue quickly. This is a great value when you compare it to hotel prices in DC.
