Stephanie and Stevens basement apartment was even cozier in person than in pictures. The beds, pillows, and linens were very comfortable and hotel quality. The hot water was plentiful for a family of four, shampoo/soap/toothpaste/tissue was stocked, the apartment was well heated even during snowy days and the apartment was very clean. We walked to the National Mall 75% of the time, used Uber 3-4 times and drove our car a couple times during our week long stay. Walking to the Mall took us about 20 min (in the snow) with our elementry and high school aged children. Uber ran about $7-$12 for the same distance, and though parking was a little challenging to find at times, we always ended up finding a spot for a reasonable price. We loved the neighborhood which we felt was a great combination of family friendly and hip (lots of joggers and dog walkers, and a fair selection of good restauants and small shops). We felt very safe staying here, as well as walking to and from the sites during the day and in the evening. Having the kitchen and washer/dryer (detergents provided) during our stay made our lives so much easier. Communication with Stephanie and Steve was easy though we really had no need to contact them other than the initial check in/out. As first time users of Airbnb we were very happy with our experience and found our stay to be far more comfortable than spending the week in a small hotel room. We would definitely stay here again.
