Ale's space is Ikea-stylish, and cozy with thoughtful touches.
Kitchen: The full kitchen is what enticed me to stay at Ale's, since our stay was for a week...gas stove, toaster, pots/pans, dishes, cooking utensils, eating utensils, and fridge. We cooked several meals during the week, and purchased items at the local Yes! Organic mart (15 min. walk/ 3 min. drive). Walmart is nearby as well (about 7 min. drive/ take Bus #80 in front of Ale's house to Fort Totten Metro, and walk about 15 mins).
Bathroom: The bathroom was stocked with shampoo/conditioner inside the shower. Nice touch.
Common Area: There is a Roku TV to watch programs.
HVAC: There were remote controls for the wall mounted HVAC units in each room. These were convenient to use...although the basement keeps cool.
Washer/Dryer: I enjoyed the convenience of the washer/dryer after our week's stay. Bring/buy your detergent.
Ale lives in a beautiful, historic neighborhood with excellent accessibility and walkability.
The #80 bus runs on his street...cross the street, turn right, and walk half a block...this will get you to the Brookland Metro station within minutes.
Also, nearby is the Turkey Thicket rec. center that houses an indoor pool, and has a playground/splashpad onsite.
Ale is friendly and responsive. I enjoyed my stay.
