My family of 4 and I had a really positive experience staying at this basement flat and highly recommend it. The purpose of our trip was to spend Christmas with my in-laws since we couldn’t last year. Our regular hotel closed due to the pandemic so we turned to Airbnb. Very happy we found this! Tommy was a great host with clear communication prior to the trip and courteous check-in upon our arrival. We reached out 2x to request additional bedding and to report plumbing issues. Tommy fixed these quickly and kept us in the loop during the plumbing repairs process. Along the way, he joyously offered fantastic family friendly recommendations tailored to my kids’ interests in engineering, construction, and transportation, underscoring both his DC knowledge and enthusiasm to share. Lovely!
About the flat itself and area. Apartment was well appointed and comfortable. The heaters were efficient and adequate and I was really impressed at how well insulated the basement is ‘cus that’s not the norm in DC! Good lighting throughout. Internet was speedy and reliable. I used the kitchen to cook all of our meals. Washer/dryer in unit such a bonus! With the current Delta/Omicron surge, I’m so very grateful that we had this space so that my family could maintain our bubble (Wouldn’t want us to be staying in hotels right now). We did on street parking using a zoned guest parking permit from my in-laws so I can’t speak to arrangements via Tommy but can say that parking in general is tight. You can’t beat the location either: safe, comfortable, quiet street and so easily accessible to Metro/buses, shops, grocery stores, tourist attractions, etc. Really give this basement flat a go! Tommy’s a great host. We’re glad that we did.
