Great experience staying here. The space was large, with plenty of walking space around the bed, a comfy futon and chair set up by the tv, and room to maneuver in both the kitchenette and the bathroom. It has the feel of a large, basement, studio apartment.
Everything was spotlessly clean, very nicely finished, and well thought out. I use my own bath products, but my husband enjoyed the built in shampoo and soap dispenser in the shower. The shower even had a glass corner cabinet with shelves for all of my products. Very handy. Poofy towels, and an extensive lit major’s dream library by the fireplace rounded out the experience.
Being in the basement of a wood-floored house, we could definitely tell we had upstairs neighbors, but that’s to be expected in this kind of setup. Nights were quiet, though, and we slept well.
During our stay we never had trouble finding parking on the street. Nice, safe neighborhood. One reason we chose Chris’s place was to avoid having to pay for parking at other B&Bs in DC. Getting into the city was a breeze, basically a 20-minute straight shot to the Mall, Smithsonian, etc. And the apartment is just one block from a park, where we enjoyed a picnic the day we arrived.
