The place was exactly as described and just like the photos. A renovated basement apt. that fit 6 of us comfortably amazingly. It was super clean, check in was easy, and Adam was very responsive like other reviewers have said. It was a bit noisy as other reviewers also said from the upstairs neighbors that are also renting. Adam was very responsive in letting them know it was loud. We found the bathroom fan drowned out a lot of noise for our kids to sleep. There was a grocery store within walking distance and the bus and metro stops were close by for transportation to many of the DC sights. Most of the time we felt safe in this neighborhood, a few times a few streets seemed questionable, but we probably would have experienced that most places. If you visit during the cold winter months some slippers or something may help with the chill of the basement. Adam turned the heat up when we requested it (immediately it happened), but it is a basement apt. and basements have a hard time being warm. We are glad we stayed there.
