First of all, for those worrying about it being a basement apartment, fear not! We generally don’t like basement apartments but we took a chance based on other reviews and this was really lovely. The front half, which has the common areas (living room with a desk to work at and kitchen with a bar-height counter to eat at), is wonderful and filled with natural light during the day. And, lighting throughout is top notch with thoughtfully well-marked switches.
The apartment is really well appointed including the kitchen (we didn’t cook beyond using the toaster and the microwave to reheat restaurant leftovers but it looked well stocked) and the bathrooms (one attached to each bedroom, with nice touches like small bottles of high end shampoos and conditioners, and overhead heat lamps). Wi-Fi was good enough to support two Zooms at once. Beds were comfortable, and the daybed in the front area (which has a trundle) worked well as a very comfortable sofa in the living room. The listing is very accurate, including that live TV is via YouTube TV/Roku, and communication was excellent, including a whole section about the front door lock that was helpful to have read in advance. The hosts reached out via AirBnB a couple of times to make sure everything was ok and to see if we needed anything, but everything was great as it was.
Location was fabulous - the apartment is in a quiet part of Georgetown but very close to a sandwich shop with great pastrami and a convenience store, a few blocks from a gourmet grocery store, and a pleasant 5-10 minute walk to the shops and restaurants on either M street or Wisconsin Avenue. With Uber we could get to all the main sights in DC and to the airport in about 10-15 minutes.
