Christopher's place was perfect for our stay!! It is exactly as depicted in the pictures. It was even roomier than I expected. We are a family of 4 that were in town for four days of sight seeing and touring the city. Even though it's a basement apartment, we never felt "crowded" with each other. There was no noise from the apartment above either. Having the private parking space with security door out the back door was a awesome bonus. With the ease of access (1 simple block walk) to the Metro, there is no reason to stay downtown at a hotel. The place was clean with plenty of linens, etc. The kitchen is great with large fridge, oven, toaster and coffee maker if you bring your own meals/food, which we did, so unfortunately we didn't get to experience the neighborhood establishments. There are plenty of options within walking distance. Both the master bed, as well as the pull out couch were super comfy. Per the kids...."That pull out is WAY more comfier than ours at home".
Christopher was an excellent host. He was quick to respond to any question we had. He graciously was able to accommodate a little earlier than expected arrival on our part. He provided Information regarding places to eat in the city as well as in the local neighborhood which is a great help to out-of-towners.
We'll probably be back soon for some college visits, so we know where we'll be staying again!!
