We met Daniel and Carol as we arrived. They were both quite pleasant and welcoming. The unit is downstairs, as advertised. The location was great, very walkable, lots of interesting architecture, places to eat and drink. We walked to the White House, and next day to the metro. Re: the apt. itself, the bed was comfortable, there was a washer & dryer in the unit. We didn't use it but would be a great addition if needed. The Moka coffee pot was a nice touch. The ad warned that upstairs noise was possible, it was. The dwelling itself is pretty Spartan, to us it had a lot of potential but felt unfinished. Daniel and his wife were in the unit when we arrived with power tools, so they might likely concede the place still needs some finishing. Some examples-the blind on our back door-it opened to a tiny "yard" that was cluttered with junk, was secured with clothes pins, the curtain on the back window was an unhemmed long sheet, the bottom two feet or so lie bunched up on the floor. There was only one trash can for the entire unit.
