Eric's place is perfect for a stay in DC. We stayed four nights.
The walk to the Metro is amazingly short. We discovered the Safeway was just down the street from the Metro station. It literally took about 5 minutes to walk there. The Safeway also has an Amazon lockbox which was great when a charger died.
The bed is comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, the bathroom kinda "quaint". We were comfortable and cozy. There is no TV but there is great wifi so Netflix on the tablet was our entertainment on the nights we stayed in.
Eric was very responsive to all questions and requests.
We HIGHLY recommend Eric's basement for short or longer stays.
