I couldn't have asked for better accommodations or hosts on my first time visiting DC. Don't let "basement apartment" fool you- it's full of natural light on both sides, and Albert has done an exceptional job designing the space with humans in mind. I had a comfortable nook to work from, a kitchen most 3k a month apartments would be jealous of, and a cozy bedroom. The living room is tastefully decorated and comfortable, with a sound system that I had to stop myself from turning up to 11.
Outside of the space itself, Albert was communicative and didn't bat an eye at any reasonable "extra" requests. A pleasure to work with and a welcoming host.
Thanks!
