First of all, Kevin is very responsive and accommodating. Whenever something broke, like the A/C, a repair person came out within a day to fix it. Every time the upstairs guests were noisy, Kevin would ask them to quiet down. The property is a good value for a 2 bed and 1.5 bath unit in DC.
However, this property did come with its challenges. For someone who lived here for months while working, it wasn’t the most metro accessible, as it’s an 18 minute walk to the nearest metro stop. I was fortunate enough to have a car, but the street parking rules are strict and require a permit that cost me $300 for the summer; and I still incurred a parking ticket since the street signs were confusing at first. Additionally, there were a lot of ants and bugs because it is a basement. The biggest problem was the ongoing noise from guests above. You hear almost everything that happens above, which made a long-term stay hard, so this property is better suited for shorter stays. Kevin did make the situation right by honoring my request for a small reimbursement for our troubles.
Overall, this property has an accommodating host, is a good value, but has significant noise and is far from metro/stores.
