Our son and his teenage daughters were visiting us in Wash from New Zealand for a few weeks. I looked at various locations before deciding to rent the basement apartment from Melissa and Chris. Melissa was most hospitable, both in terms of coordinating a time to see the unit as well as during their stay. Check-in was a breeze and the unit was spotless. Highly recommended for 2-3 people interested in a location that abuts one of the liveliest areas of Washington DC, yet one that provides quiet surroundings in a walkable urban setting.
