Everything about our trip to DMV was beautiful & what sent it over the top was finally getting to Houcine’s home. It was so comfy & bright with a Bohemian feel. The decor was clean and open. It looked just like the pictures online! The hardwood floors were immaculate (make sure you take off your shoes at the entrance!) I’m not a “techie” person but the code to get in was super simple which was a bonus for me.
He has a nice size bathroom with two huge shower heads that has a spa-like feel. Washer/dryer, mini kitchen & tv in the livingroom (no tvs in the bedrooms).
We were in town on a college tour for my daughter who loved not having tvs in the bedrooms. She insisted “the one tv in the livingroom brings families together”. The apartment has several windows throughout which makes it energy-efficient & we almost forgot it was a basement apartment. There was access to a huge private furnished backyard patio that was wonderful at night. Houcine’s got every gadget and appliance to make you feel right at home.
The unit is literally minutes from every main attraction. If you’re an outside person there’s the incredible Rock Creek Park close by. We used the Google maps app & the experience was breath-taking. The house sits on a massive tree-line street that is outlined with colorful flowers. It’s interesting because my daughter has severe seasonal allergies and none of it affected her. If you are an avid reader there are a book bins on every third corner almost “take a book leave a book”. Also a few blocks down from Houcine’s home is a neighbor who plays live acoustic music on the weekends from his porch. People bring lawn chairs & some sit-in to play. Everyone is respectful of the sound and none of it was intrusive.
Houcine’s hospitality is felt at the front door. You never see him but it always felt he was always ready to help. I totally respect that & will definitely be back!
