Immaculately clean, trendily decorated, all the amenities, and Mt. Pleasant is just one of my favorite DC neighborhoods. Lots of fantastic local restaurants and it's just 2 blocks from the Columbia Heights metro and of course the zoo just down the hill. Guests should be aware that it is an English basement and no access to the back yard is allowed. So set an alarm to wake up in the AM because it's nice and dark! On the plus side, however, extremely quiet--we barely noticed the upstairs family, just the occasional pitter-patter of little feet and did not bother us in the slightest. I think that as basement apartments go it was extremely clean, bright, and cozy. I really liked the decor, the kitchen was modern and had everything we needed, shampoo/wash in the shower, and the beds were quite comfortable. My kids loved playing with the assortment of games. The bed with rails is a little awkward for an adult to get in and out of, which might be important to note for an older guest or someone with physical limitations. I would say that at this price range in the past I have been able to get an entire house in Mt. Pleasant, but, I admit it wasn't available for this trip so maybe that property was a unicorn :-) I would definitely stay here again. The hosts are a management company (not the family upstairs) and were very promptly responsive.
