We highly recommend Reed's place for a visit to DC! The basement apartment is in a lovely, quiet, walkable neighborhood with Metro transportation and a small, fun commercial area just a few blocks away. Reed is a wonderful host - the apartment had everything we needed, including a very sleepable couch and a rice cooker! The entrance is also very safe, secure with two doors on either end of the stairway. Reed was very attentive and accessible as needed.
