We could not have asked for a kinder, more gracious host. Reed was very sweet and touched base with me the day before we arrived. She let us know that there was a chance that she would be gone before we got there, and when we arrived, she had written us a list of helpful tips about the apartment and the area (like Safeway is a few blocks away, and there was a Safeway card in one of the drawers to use). Reed was gone for the majority of our stay, but she was always available via text or a call.

The apartment itself is a basement unit that's connected to the main house, but there is a separate entrance. It's clean, and there is a stove, microwave, sink and refrigerator, so perfect if you want to keep some food handy. There are some soaps, shampoo/conditioner and lotion in the bathroom cabinet, and fresh towels and sheets. Oh, and the heater was super appreciated when we came back inside from the DC winter!

The neighborhood is quiet, and the apartment is only three blocks away from the Takoma Metro station, where the red line will take you right downtown within 20 minutes. We would definitely stay here again!

Helpful tip: this would be a great place if you plan on having a car with you.
