The location is excellent. Only a short walk from Union Station. Betsy's basement was PERFECT! We had been travelling for two weeks before we arrived in D.C. and having all the amenities was a Godsend. Bed was soooo comfy. Kitchen was great and we were so thankful for the coffee machine. Laundry facilities were easy to use. It's a quiet neighbourhood and the neighbours are super friendly. A grocery store is at the end of the block as is the start of a row of restaurants. Betsy's place is air conditioned and the humidity is also taken care of. We didn't see Betsy at all as they were on vacation but she most definitely kept in contact and answered all our questions. There is a sand pit (sand box) which my children loved and having some grass for them to play on was great. We loved Betsy's basement and highly recommend it. It was spacious and we were grateful for everything that was provided.
