We loved this very quiet, cosy and character-filled basement apartment for a three-week stay in summer. Unusually for basements, it has a bay window which lets in lots of light and overlooks the garden lovingly maintained by the owners, who live in the house upstairs. We had many meals under the cherry tree, enjoying the company of birds, squirrels and chipmunks. The owners encouraged us to pick the berries, vegetables and herbs from their garden - which we very much appreciated. Vernon and Rita were extremely kind and helpful and even slung a hammock in the tree for us. The area is very attractive with beautiful detached houses and a short walk to the wonderful walking trails through Rock Creek Park. There is also a bikeshare place just around the corner. Would definitely stay here again.
