Abenaa's basement was a good place to stay in D.C. for some days. The location proved quite fine, as the subway station is not far, a bike share kiosk is nearby (not working properly unfortunately) and even Union Station and the Capitol are in extended walking distance.
The entrance is really narrow, but the room is quite spacious and clean. It lacks some charme, especially with the cable salad and the open outlets. Although the place did not advertise a kitchen, some equipment is provided. We were glad to have a fridge and a water cooker and got along with the paper cups. The bathroom is really nice and the shower is working fine. Linen and towels are provided plenty enough, but I did miss or did not find a duvet cover for the blanket. The queen size bed is good to sleep on, however the studio couch is not. Generally, if you are 6 feet and above, you will frequently feel anxious not to hit the casing on the ceiling with your head, so a long stay is probably not recommended.
Abenaa really did warn us about a loud HVAC device. However, the machine did not run that often and did not disturb us too much. I hardly noticed it after the first night. The fridge is rather noisy, though.
Actually, this was my first stay, where I have never met my landlord, which felt rather weird. However Abenaa explained everything that needed to be known in rich detail in the listing rules and in the check-in message. Communication by AirBnB app did work fine, too.
