This basement is a very nice place! Very private and complete, the kitchen has a fridge and a washing machine. The bathroom is very nice, the living room has a TV with cable, the bedroom is very nice, with a fan for warm days like the ones I had in DC. It also has a small space with a desk to read and work in the laptop if you need to and a big closet. Very well equipped: towels, a blanket, metro cards, good illumination. Great location, 8 mins away from the metro station, very good area. Joy and her mother are very good hosts, quick responses and very friendly. I have to be honest and say that a friend visited me in the basement and took his dog with him. I didn't really thought about it and he took the dog in for a couple of minutes and Joy had to text me to remind me about the rule "no pets allowed". Joy's mother was very kind and in a very friendly manner went to talk to me to say "I am sorry but we don't allow dogs" She even apologized but the one that should apologize is me: I am sorry for not respecting the rules of this very nice place!. Anyway. I hope you guys would take me in the future because I definitively want to go back. I highly recommend this place in DC. Great people and great service.
