It is a townhouse. You'll be having the entire 3rd floor while Michael, his wife, and the dog Freddy live on the 1st and 2nd floors. The 3rd-floor apartment includes a bedroom (clean and cozy as shown in the picture), a bathroom (clean and well-equipped with more than everything you need), and a living room where the host prepares coffee, bread, wine, crackers, and fruit waiting for the guest. The only thing that you may be concerned is the shared entry of the townhouse. My partner and I came back late around midnight and was afraid that we would wake up Michael and his family. They were very nice about it saying that they stayed up late too. We stayed there over the weekend and didn't feel too guilty about it, but you need to consider it before renting this apartment. At any rate, we enjoyed our stay. It's in a great neighborhood, easily walkable to Georgetown restaurants and shops, and to the water front park.
