The location of the apartment is unbeatable. Everything is within walking distance or easily accessible by public transport. Bennett is a very helpful host, always responding to messages promptly. We had a few plumbing issues and he fixed them quickly.
The apartment itself is okay but has some drawbacks, like most basement apartments. There is virtually no natural light as the front windows are overgrown and the windows in the back are boarded up. During our stay in the middle of a typical hot and humid DC summer, there was a fair amount of moisture/dampness especially in the back bedroom, and the central AC system for the house (which is located in the basement apartment) was extremely loud. The kitchen is tiny but functional, as long as the meals are very simple. On the positive side, the two bedrooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable.
