Nice place, cozy, quiet and safe neighborhood. I would stay here again.
A few Pros:
- Water bottles in fridge on arrival
- Homey set up and really nice artwork
- Able to leave my car parked and unbothered throughout the entire stay
-Any Uber/Lyft to downtown and the National Mall ranges from $10 - $20. Not bad considering the prices for the same distance in NYC is 2-3x more.
A few cons (none were deal breakers or worth complaining about)
- Water pressure is a bit low, will get the job done but found myself taking longer to wash off soap.
- A few pests (spiders, etc.-- expected since the apartment is in the basement)
- Hearing footsteps or furniture moving at different times of the day (again, expected since the apartment is in the basement)
- Low ceilings (at the entrance and in the apartment). If you are over 6,3" (I'm 6'0) this probably isn't the best place for you. Be mindful when exiting the apartment. It's easy to see the height of the ceiling when descending the entrance steps, but the celling is out of sight when ascending the steps.
