We had a very nice stay at Houcine's place - very good (fast, efficient and friendly) communication before and during the stay, plus I personally like contactless checking in and living with a code lock, it makes it super easy to arrive, and and simplifies family members separate plans during the stay. I particularly appreciate a visitor parking pass that we found in the apartment upon arrival, as it is indispensable for parking on the street - which we had not trouble doing pithing a few steps from the house. The place was pretty, spotless and had everything we needed - plus the owners live upstairs, so when my 17-year old son decided he is hungry it 11 pm, we were blitz-offered cheeze for his pasta, with olive oil/salt/pepper/ coffee already provided - and what else does one need to survive? Advice as to where we could do grocery shopping and eat our was also very helpful. It is a basement apartment, so the living area is a bit dark, but we were out during the day anyways. If you need to spread out ( there are 2 bedrooms with queen size beds, very comfortable, though I like very hard mattresses, so mine was too soft for my taste, but my daughter liked hers in the other room, tastes differ!), you have to ask for an air mattress - as the couch in the living area is not appropriate for sleeping. I used to live in DC in different neighborhoods, but not in Mount Pleasant, that I wanted to try - and I really enjoyed my choice. I highly recommend Houcine's place.
