Comfortable, cozy, and conveniently located basement apartment. Within a walking distance to Mt. Pleasant center and Columbia Heights Metro station, which allows you to be at all the central DC destinations within 5 to 10 minutes. It is also very close to the National Zoo, although we did not walk there. The apartment had all the amenities we needed and had a great selection of Keurig Coffee, which saved us many trips out for a cup of coffee. Within 5 minute walk, there is a great breakfast/coffee shop/bakery called Elle. The host was nice and understanding given that we had limited access to communication devices on this trip. We traveled with a child, so the basement apartment was perfect for us and, although we heard occasional steps above, it did not prevent us from relaxing or getting good sleep. We were out most of the day and really enjoyed the apartment when the time came to unwind.
