The apartment is spacious, clean and has the basics, washer and dryer are a huge plus, the bathroom is indeed quite small and the apartment has a musky/smokey smell that gets better when you leave the windows open.
The street is quiet, safe with plenty of free street parking. Sleeping was a little hard because the floor upstairs really cracks so you can hear all the movement and I think the central AC unit is in the closet in the bedroom so it can get noisy.
Downtown Takoma Park is super cute and a 15 min walk away. While Karl is not there, he is an attentive host and resolved a request quickly.
