I highly recommend staying in Ross's basement apartment! The parking situation was fantastic - Ross had a parking pass and we parked directly in front of the door on the street (parking was a big concern of mine having lived in a busy city, and this was the PERFECT parking situation - free, the closest spot possible, and safe!). Ross was also a FANTASTIC host. He was welcoming, friendly, communicated very well, responded quickly, and even made sure we had fresh percolated coffee each morning and several amazing breakfast options. The apartment was spotless and beautiful! The bed was very comfortable and the shower pressure was great! He even provided several travel sized soaps, shampoos, and toothpastes. I had an amazing experience, and felt that this experience was far better than staying in a nice hotel. Loved the location! The metro is a short walk (up or down hill) about 10 mins at the most. I also walked to many amazing restaurants. I was in D.C. for a conference and it was a quick and easy commute to the Convention Center (2-3 stops depending on which station you leave from). Again, Ross was very helpful and answered all of my questions about the city, food, parking, etc. Absolutely enjoyed my stay and would 100% come back! I absolutely recommend staying here!
