Me and my husband stayed in Henrike and Derrick´s basement apt for 3 months and it was definitely amazing. The apt is big, very clean, confortable and quiet. There´s a privacy entrance so you can access the apt anytime you want, without worrying about disturbing them. The kitchen has a toaster oven and a microwave that are very handy, I even made a whole Christmas meal using only the two outlets. They have a big TV with Netflix! We felt home all the time!!! Henrike and Derrick are very nice people, easy to communicate and respectful. They helped us in everything we needed and more, but at the same time, always respected our privacy. It was a pleasure to meet them. They have a beautiful daughter, Helenora (I always mispell her name, sorry if it´s wrong again), which is the most quiet baby I´ve even seen, we probably heard her crying no more than 3 times in 3 months. In addition, the location is great, you can easily take the metro or a bus. To go downtown, you can take the bus P6, there´s a bus stop very close to the house. To take the metro, you have to walk like 15min, which is still pretty close and easy. We are from Brazil and it is always difficult to live in another country, experience another culture and language, but certainly staying in this place made things pretty much easier for us. We would definitely stay there again and recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Washington, for whatever reason. Thank you so much for everything! Pri and Silvio
