Pros- cute quiet secluded little space, excellent for a quick getaway. I loved the amenities!! Flowers, delicious snacks, stocked fridge, etc. Closet with iron and board, hangers, super convenient. TV was standard cable and I had an issue with the connection, she tried to help me try figure it out and offered to send help if I needed it but I ended up not needing help. Nice cool and dark so I could sleep in. I enjoyed the private (tight) parking in the back. I drive an X5 so it was a lot of maneuvering but I got that baby up in there lol only small inconvenience is the fence is manual and the expectation is to keep it closed at all times. No biggie until you’re leaving and have to drive out, park your car, get out, close it and get back in your car. The only time this could pose a problem is if another car is coming down the alley, then what? Someone will prob get annoyed because they don’t want to wait blah blah blah Lol and these alleys are very tight. Lucky for me that didn’t happen but something to think about. Otherwise, plenty of street parking out front! This space is great for the price, location and amenities. And she gives you a looonnnggg list of food recommendations which I appreciated because I am a foodie at heart! Overall, a pretty decent stay.
Cons- The pest. My gosh. Now keeping in mind this is a finished basement so I’m not surprised but I def don’t prefer to have to keep killing insects. Mosquitoes, fruit flies, a couple of spiders waiting for me in the bathroom, a granddaddy long leg greeting me in the shower, centipedes on the ceiling when I wake up. If you’re not a fan of bugs, this may not be for you. Def could use a good extermination session. Worth pointing out but not worth taking off a star. It is also pretty damp down there and has a distinct smell, not a bad smell but it def stayed in my clothes when I came home to unpack.
Again, decent stay. I’d much rather stay here than to deal with the hectic DC stuff. It’s close to everything but still gives you that sense of privacy.
