For this being my first experience with a “basement” Airbnb it was AWESOME. Typically when I look for an Airbnb my last choice has always been any place that is attached to where the homeowners are, but I decided to give it a try for my trip to D.C. I can say now that my perspective has changed completely for the better. I really appreciated the fact that the host was only a message away or literally a few steps away , and yet the privacy was always there. The host was willing to go above and beyond to make sure any specific need were accommodated which really meant a lot.
