Kelly’s apartment is located in the heart of Columbia Heights, near parks and a metro stop and nice mix of both commercial and residential. The place was spotless on check-in. Entry was simple and they were kind enough to allow its to check in an hour or so early. We were traveling with (tired) 4 and 1 year old kids so the toys and snacks and pack-n-play that were left out were extremely helpful.
During the stay things continued to be smooth. Beds were very comfy; kitchen had tons of useful supplies and a very good dishwasher. Communication with Kelly was especially good. She checked in with us during the stay via the app; she quickly responded when we asked for a broom or vacuum to clean up after our kids. Overall we felt very well taken care of.
Only possible downsides to be aware of are light and noise. The apartment is garden-level, i.e. halfway underground (as advertised). It doesn’t get much natural light. That’s just something to factor in. It’s also located below the owners so there is some noise when there is foot traffic. Never an issue when they are at work/school, but on weekends, we did hear things a few times. Overall we barely noticed but worth being aware of.
