Adam’s place was cozy, modern and very clean. Despite being an English basement unit, the place was bright and did not feel claustrophobic. Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 boys aged 3 and 5yrs) stayed for 6 weeks while our home was under renovation. We really appreciated the high tech, easy to use Nest HVAC system which kept the unit at an ideal temperature through the end of summer DC heat and also through part of the colder weeks in Fall. Another plus was the hot water system in both bathrooms- great shower pressure and plenty of hot water for back to back showers for our family. Although the main house is located right by a busy road, it was quiet in our basement unit.
The kitchen could use a couple minor additions (ie. Toaster, enhanced air vent system to avoid setting off smoke alarm, upgrades for some kitchen utensils), but all manageable without.
Unit was well-stocked with amenities for our family. Plenty of towels and linens and extra pillows. Good working washer and dryer and laundry essentials (a plus when you have young kids). Lots of storage space. It was also easy to connect to the WIFI - also essential since my husband and I were working from home. The desk in each bedroom was a nice touch.
Adam was a a wonderful host and excellent communicator- very pleasant and attentive throughout our stay, and not at all intrusive. His family welcomed our boys with a little gift pack when we arrived and also surprised them with a nice selection of candy on Halloween. He kept the garden space outside our unit as clean as possible during our stay (Ie. Always blowing away leaves etc.)
Overall, I would highly recommend anyone renting Adam’s unit. We would definitely return to stay if need be.
