Brent’s basement apartment was exactly as pictured and had everything I needed. It’s right across the street from Union Market and only three blocks from the metro station. As a female staying alone, I felt safe staying there and walking around the surrounding area. Brent was extremely responsive and a great host!!
Some words of caution- There is no thermostat in the unit (it’s controlled by the house above) so if you’re very picky about temperature, this may bother you. Similarly, if having a large TV and/or bedroom TV is important to you, this probably isn’t a great place to stay. Also you can easily hear human and doggie footsteps from the house above, so if you like complete silence, probably not your place. Luckily I didn’t need a TV and I liked knowing I wasn’t in the house alone, so neither factor impacted my stay.
