Derrick and Henrike’s basement apartment in DC is a cozy well appointed nest for the business traveler and tourist alike. The residence is easy to access by car from major highways, on street parking is ample, and the metro is an easy 15 min walk away. The bed is comfortable and the entire space is clean, cared for, and quiet. The apartment is secure and easy to access through a private first floor entrance. One can come and go at all hours without disturbing the hosts. I was greeted by both Derrick and Henrike upon arrival who welcomed and filled me on all necessary matters pertaining to the neighborhood, alternate side of the street parking regulations, and check out. Both kept in touch during my visit via text to ensure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment is spacious and laid out well if needed as a temporary base for a small film or photography crew working in the DC area. There’s ample floor space for gear with work surfaces in the kitchen area and living room. I will definitely stay with the Nelsons again on return trips to DC. A great spot that feels like home!
