The place is well-located and extremely clean, great for an active weekend in DC. The light is perfect for a basement apartment---the front rooms are bright when the sun is out, but the bedroom stays blissfully dark in the morning. A small point for the sound-sensitive like us: sound carries a lot, and we woke up early on Sunday because of lots of movement up and down the staircase above us. On the other hand, there's no noise from the street.
