It was my first time visiting DC and location was perfect. However, there were multiple problems in the basement. First, I noticed someone came into the basement and nothing was taken. I asked the host and they explained that cleaning lady needed to come to the basement. But, until I pointed out the host didn’t even text me about it. So, I’ll recommend you to contact the host for cleaning lady’s schedule or keep your stuff locked or hide something every time you go out just in case. Neighborhood is safe but you’ll never know. Next, because the place is located in the basement, it’s easy to get cold/hot. However, you cannot control central AC unless other guests staying upstairs (in the actual apartment). Thus, you only have small heater and AC by the window. You can message the host to let the upstairs guests to know that turn-on/off the central AC. So, just be careful if you are planning to visit and stay there in winter. Finally, the bed was too soft and I was sinking in the bed. Feels like you are sleeping one of those beanbag. If you have a back pain or physical problem then I won’t recommend to stay in this place unless the host will buy a new bed lol
Overall, if you don’t care about all of things that I mentioned, it was a great location, clean and safe:)
