Paul was a friendly and professional host, responsive when I had questions, and with excellent internet service. Very clean bathroom, full size washer/dryer, kitchen including a stove and microwave.
The neighborhood is charming residential townhomes, seemingly plenty of students (near Gallaudet). Whole foods is 3 blocks away, as is CVS. Other than that there are many restaurants and coffee shops that are walkable, and transit is nearby also.
The one thing I will mention because for some it might be important is that, because it's a basement apartment, there aren't windows -- other than the door which of course has blinds over it. There's a patio though if the weather is nice enough to sit outside.
Summary: Excellent property, well maintained, great location.
