My adult niece and I loved staying at David's place for a week over the 4th of July holiday. The space was exactly what we needed, the location could not have been better, and David's communication was spot on. If I head back to DC, I'd stay at David's place again.
My niece took the bedroom, which is located at the back of the unit. I took the sofa couch, located at the front of the unit. This allowed me to start my day earlier, without disturbing my sleeping niece. Laundry in unit, compact but full kitchen, and nice open space in kitchen/dining room/living room made for an efficient but very comfortable space. I prepared desserts for a family gathering and found every tool I needed. There was plenty of lighting, all switches labeled, and the AC worked well.
The street itself is a single-block, one-way street lined with 3- and 4-story brownstones, pretty gardens, and young professionals walking by. Trader Joe's is literally half a block in one direction, and subway stop literally half a block in the other direction. The street runs between 13th and 14th Streets, both bustling. For those times we didn't feel like walking, or riding the subway, Uber was a cinch and arrived within minutes.
Communication with David could not have been better. He responded very quickly to the one or two questions I had beforehand, and arranged for my parking permit, because we were traveling by car. Arriving on a Thursday afternoon, I found a parking spot with no trouble, directly in front of David's unit. He met us to say hello and to hand us the parking permit, but then he left us to enjoy our stay.
When conducting my search for a place to stay, my primary considerations were location (close to groceries and subway), safe and pleasant neighborhood, ability to do laundry, ability to prepare my desserts, and sleeping configuration, given different sleeping habits that my niece and I have. David's place was perfect for what I was looking for. The many artful touches were also appreciated.
Thank you David!
