I lived in DC for a few years before relocating to Philly, so I know the city well. Thang’s English basement is in a GREAT location, particularly for our purposes. Easy walking/cheap Uber ride to the spots we were visiting: Le Dip, Tico, 9:30 Club, Fainting Goat, and The Coffee Bar (TCB). We were thankful for the bottled water in the mini fridge! We were unable to figure out the tv, but we were able to watch a few episodes of things that had been DVR’d as we drifted off to sleep. The mattress is pretty firm, which is exactly how I like it. I will say that the bathroom and bedroom would definitely benefit from a thorough cleaning. We brought our own slippers. Early morning noise from the upstairs house was a bit of an annoyance, as we weren’t quite ready to be awake. If you are here on a Wednesday/Thursday (as we were), be sure to mind the Street Cleaning schedule, as we did see several vehicles receiving tickets. Overall, the location and price make Thang’s English basement worth it! Thank you for your hospitality!
