A lovely, clean, private basement apartment. It is spacious with a living room, big bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. I was afraid that, as a basement apartment, it might be cold and damp, but it was actually warm and cozy, with a few extra blankets in a basket if you wanted to be even cozier. The record player with the nice collection of LP's was fun. The couch and bed were quite comfortable. The kitchen had a microwave, fridge, a coffee maker, and dishes in the cupboards. There was a note asking guests not to use the stove, but the microwave was sufficient for my needs.
The metro stations were about a 10-15 minute walk away, but as I was at a conference at the Wardman Park Marriott, I mostly took Lyft and Uber. It was about $9-14 to get to the Wardman Marriot on Lyft, and about $9 to get to Union Station on a Monday morning. From my one walk from the metro station, there seem to be a nice selection of little shops and restaurants, and a laundrymat a short walk away. There were a few abandoned buildings a few blocks away, but the street the airbnb is on was nice and residential.
I never met Nate, as he left the key for me, but he was very responsive by text when I had questions. The basement was quiet and private and perfect for my stay. I highly recommend.
