This was a great place for me and my son to stay during our 6 day visit to D.C. We traveled by metro and bus using Smartrip cards (unlimited passes). There is a bus stop almost right outside the which is, of course, very convenient. And there's a metro stop on the yellow or green line just about a 9 minute walk away.
On the first day, I felt a bit nervous about folks loitering around the metro station...wondering if it was safe. But Dan said he feels safe being out even at night with his wife and child. I was never worried about it after that and in fact, it didn't seem that there were as many people loitering on other days while we were there.
We were out all day at museums near the mall but spent our evenings basement apartment. It was great that Dan provides an Apple TV device which made it convenient to cast movies from my iPhone to the TV.
Dan provides shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There is also hand soap, tissues, paper towels, paper bowls/plates, plastic forks and spoons, a mug and two glasses.
The listing said there was a dryer and washer so we packed light intending to do laundry in the unit. I asked Dan how laundry works, he said he would wash, dry and fold the clothes for a fee. When I mentioned that we packed light because the listing said the unit includes a washer and dryer, he graciously washed our clothes for free and clarified the listing.
All in all, it was a great place for me and my son to stay during our visit. Dan is a very responsive host.
