This basement studio was an excellent choice for my month long stay in DC. It feels spacious for a studio and was well stocked with amenities in the bathroom and essentials in the kitchen/laundry room. The place was clean and also easy to keep clean! I appreciated the size of the freezer/fridge compared to lots of airbnb's and the washer/dryer work well. There are multiple dehumidifiers and I never felt like the place was damp at all. I saw a few bugs but shockingly few considering how bad DC basements can be for pests. The internet was reliable and it was overall a very livable, comfortable space. The location is absolutely fantastic-- right next to Seylou Bakery which is phenomenal, Blagden Alley which has good food/drink options and a super short walk to Mt Vernon metro. The next door neighbors, as some other reviewers mentioned I think, can be a bit loud but never too late at night and nothing that earplugs (provided in a big tub in the studio!) or headphones can't solve. The neighbors were also very nice to me(: I like the neighborhood and I found Ilissa an excellent, communicative host. I've already booked this place again for my next stay in DC so I highly recommend.
