Reed was very welcoming and extraordinarily helpful. She was quiet and respectful for the entire month. The basement apartment kept us warm through the coldest month DC has seen in decades (although we did supplement with a small electric heater). Parking was never an issue. Reed let us use her driveway during snow storms to prevent us from getting stuck behind a berm. The apt is quaint and tastefully decorated. Of note, there is minimal counter space, a very small fridge, and no garbage disposal, but these shortcomings were never an issue. We had a great stay, and we would definitely recommend to others.
