Joel's basement unit is a very comfortable and wonderful home. The neighborhood is safe and very conveniently located near all the necessities. I love it that Whole Foods and restaurants are just a block away! It's very easy to find your way to the Dupont Circle and the red line of the Metro. Joel was a superb host. He was very attentive to our needs and was not a bit intrusive. He was kind enough to receive packages for us if it accidentally got delivered to his unit instead of ours or let us use the backyard bistro set if we wanted to. Joel's partner in superb hosting, Max the Cat, made us feel less lonely whenever he would come by to visit. We love pets and animals and Max did a wonderful job in making us feel right at home and less homesick. Thank you, Joel and Max for the wonderful stay. I will book again if I find myself in DC in the future. :)
