Ale was a very pleasant and accommodating host. The space was clean. And being in the basement of his home, it was also naturally cool. There was two very nice air conditioning units so if it did get warm they were there and efficient. On street parking was easy. Private entrance was well lit. Bathroom was clean! The bus stop was only a half a block away. And the metro stop in Brookland was about a five minute drive. All and all very nice place to stay. We would do it again and have already recommended it to other family members and friends.
