Very nice basement apartment, accurately described, clean and comfortable. Everything worked well. Many basics were supplied, including coffee and creamer, which was wonderful since we arrived late at night and had no chance to shop. We used the Metro rather than the closer bus to get downtown. Silver Spring Metro stop is a pleasant 20 minute walk from the apartment. Hosts were very communicative and friendly.
The only issue I would highlight is that to get to the entrance you need to walk around to the back of the house and down a narrow stairway. This is a tricky if you have large suitcases.
