Akosua's place is as advertised. The space itself is nice. Bed is firm which I prefer. The amenities that were provided was a nice, thoughtful touch. There was noise (footsteps, voices) from above as was forewarned and expected, but nothing too disturbing. I read through previous reviews as well, so I knew what I signed up for. Roku TV didn't work too well, so I ended up streaming from my laptop. Walk to Metro is about 15 minutes, and only a few stops away from the National Mall. I walked home from the Metro station at night a few times, which like some guests recommended, you might want to Uber/Lyft it back. Met with Akosua and had a nice chat. + points for hospitality. Overall, never have been a fan of staying in basement dwellings, but the value was superb.
