The place was as described and pictured. The basement apartment is small but very nice. It was stylishly decorated (with live plants even) and was very clean. The appliances were brand new, the household items were clean and in excellent condition, the linens and other things seemed very new and fresh. Steve gave excellent instructions on how to check-in, was very prompt in communicating, gave local tips and message me before I checked out. The apartment is in a great location a block from U Street with many restaurants and stores (e.g., Trader Joe's is 2 block away) close by and was convenient to public transportation (bus stop at the corner and metro was about 3 blocks away). Will definitely consider again next time am in DC.
