We immediately felt at home in this apartment. We stayed there for 3 weeks and found everything we needed, including all the kitchenware for cooking by ourselves, and iron, an easy-to-operate washing machine and a desk for working. As described it is a basement apartment. But the comfy atmosphere, the thoughtfully picked furniture and the nice, open, friendly, diverse neighborhood definitely make up for the lack of a view. If we ever come back to D.C. we wouldn't chose any other accommodation.
