Stephen was a wonderful host. He was very helpful, friendly, and great at communicating from the booking all the way to the moment we checked out. The apartment is exactly as pictured and very comfortable. I had a hard time finding a place at first because my boyfriend is 6'7" and most of these basement apartments have ceiling heights of 6'5" and under, and only offer full size beds. So if you are tall, this is a comfortable space with ceiling heights of 7'1" and a queen size bed as well as queen size sofa bed.
His attention to detail was wonderful, from a personalized guidebook to extra little amenities all around the house for the stuff you tend to forget, like umbrellas and lint rollers.
The area is nice and quiet, very central to the areas we were headed (DC, Silver Spring, and Takoma Park) with many options for public transportation. You do need to take a short bus trip to get to any of the nearby metro stops, but it was never an issue.
