Monet is a wonderful host and the other reviews clearly attest to this and the fact that her basement apt is a great place to stay for a few days in Washington DC. She thinks of everything a guest could possibly want/need and the apt is equipped with all the necessary essentials. Although I highly recommend the apartment, I would also caution that while the location feels very safe and tranquil, it is a bit less than ideal for quick access using public transportation into central DC as most trips will require a two-leg journey involving two buses or a bus and a transfer onto the subway. Having said this, everything else was fantastic and I would certainly repeat my stay there if needed.
