Overall, I had a good stay and would recommend this property to others. The hosts were very communicative and responsive to questions and my needs during my stay. I was able to get a parking pass, which was wonderful. It was a little chilly and initially there was a bit of a dog smell. They addressed it immediately.
The neighborhood is fabulous, with everything in walking distance. The place was nicely laid out and comfortable. If you’re looking for quiet, note that you’ll hear much of the noise from the upstairs unit. This is normal in DC basement apartments. It didn’t bother me too much, but the family upstairs had a baby. I could hear crying very loudly in the unit, which made for an interesting conference call or two.
My one real complaint about the stay happened after when I was hit with a $240 bill for scuff marks on the wall next to the bed. As I only had myself and clothes on the bed, I’m 100% certain these marks didn’t come from me. As always, I left the place clean. I would urge anyone staying here to take pictures at the start of your stay to avoid any issues later.
One more thing to note is the entrance to this unit is in an alley. For the most part it was fine; although, one night I thought someone might follow me, so I walked a bit past the place until I felt safe, before coming back.
