Hello all! This is Jono. I'm a musician and teacher. I was visiting DC from New York City and had only planned on staying two nights at John's wonderful space, but I loved it so much I booked a third night and extended my trip! That says a lot about the comfort, graciousness, and ease of this listing! I will be back, IF it's available.
This "basement" listing feels more like a chic urban loft apartment, rather than the bottom level of a (newly-renovated) house. First, the Uber found it so easily, which is an instant sign of a happy trip (as we know) The entrance is private and secure, opening to a modern but cozy living room, with a sparkling kitchen, huge microwave, and huge TV beckoning you (if you need a movie, later on.)
It is all quite NEW, without being a "hotel", as if your friend just re-did the place for you.
The bathroom is BIG; the shower is big.
The bedroom is welcoming and comfy... and quiet!
More closet space than you could possibly need.
John was a marvelous host, radiating calm, grace, wit, efficiency. He seemed perfectly attuned to either being "involved" in your trip, with vast info of the town and how it works, OR, letting you disappear into the beautiful space, and letting your trip flow as if he wasn't there, and you were alone in your private safe Washington DC home.
