Michael's place was very cozy and comfortable. The basement apartment is clean and has everything you need like a washer/dryer, kettle and coffee press, convenient HDMI cable for hooking things to the TV, apple watch charger, and lightning cable on the bedside table.
The small desk in the room is nice for sitting and writing but if you need work more than a few hours at a computer, it's a bit small. No worries though, I just worked on the comfy couch.
It can feel a bit dark and cave-like because there's not a lot of natural light. Tho, it is a basement after all. I did feel the need to take walks in Rock Creek Park across the street to get some fresh air.
If you need to be downtown a lot, it's nice to have a car since the closest metro stop is quite a walk. There's easy and free parking across the street.
I spent six weeks there and overall it was great, comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Michael is responsive and took care of my requests right away.
Definitely would stay here again.
