This was the fourth basement apartment my wife and I have stayed in over the years in the area close to American University where our daughter went to college. Although the stone walls and tiled floor was nice, and the track lighting was good, the natural lighting was very limited, as is typical. The shower was very small, but doable. It was very quiet at all times - never even heard the upstairs residents one time. The neighborhood was very nice and very walkable - not only close to Rock Creek park but also a smaller park - Melvin C. Hazen - was steps away and very nice with many tall and stately trees to enjoy. Communications with the host was very quick and easy.
