My family and I stayed in this basement suite for 4 nights while visiting the sides in D.C. It is very conveniently located in Columbia Heights and about 10 -15 min driving time to the National Mall or 20-25 min if you're taking the metro. Metro stations are all within 5 min walking distance from the suite. Parking is pretty easy and Chiazo (house manager) made it really easy to get a parking pass. There are a lot of stores and restaurants in the area. The neighborhood appears to be going through gentrification. Some areas are nice and others you may want to avoid walking around a night. Nothing serious, but a bit sketchy at times after hours. The suite itself is nice and clean and exactly as described in the pictures and description. Lots of room for my family of 6. There carpet is a bit worn, but to be expected in a rental unit and the front door are of the basement suite gets a bit wet when it rains so it attracts mosquitoes. However, Chiazo was great in providing bug spray which took care of the the problem. Overall, the suite was very nice and would recommend anyone to stay here. The best thing was Chiazo. Very responsive and polite. We had some drainage issues on the first day and he was out at our unit within the day to clear the drains on the sink and the tub - great service.
