Todd's place was great! It is central to everything you might need like groceries, restaurants, and the metro. The amenities were top notch. The washer/dryer helped me pack lighter and just do a load of clothes mid-week, the Keurig definitely helped with some early mornings, and the other kitchen appliances were exactly what we needed. You'll have a comfortable stay here with easy access to everything. Todd was extremely responsive and didn't intrude on our stay at all, even though he lives upstairs. The beds were very comfortable with enough blankets to keep warm. The bathroom was stocked with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, which was awesome! And on the note of one of my biggest pet peeves, the water pressure from this shower was AWESOME. I always appreciate a shower with good water pressure.
I only have two points of concern that others might share, but have docked no points in my rating since it didn't affect me much. 1) Due to the fact that this is a basement apartment, it comes with knowing that there are residents who live above you. There were times when I could hear them walking around or leaving the house in the morning as I was waking up. If you're a light sleeper and/or enjoy sleeping in late, this could be a problem. Luckily, our schedules were in sync and I typically sleep like a log. 2) The internet was a bit slow. I kept tracking it throughout the stay and it was consistently averaging between 5-10 Mbps (equivalent to <=1 Megabytes per second) during the day and evening, and maybe a little over that at night. It's enough to browse social media, but watching videos can be very difficult. Getting things to update on Dropbox was a killer, especially when trying to organize work with coworkers on the west coast. The internet died one day throughout the residential area and I thought maybe that was the cause, but even after they resurrected the signal, it was still slow.
Overall, I would book this again! I loved my experience and recommend it to those looking for a convenient spot in DC.
