Beth & Brian's English basement could not be located better, across the street from the Potomac Metro. Add a couple of minutes for the convoluted access down a deserted, poorly lit, gravel road to the back of the property. The unit is tiny but clean, has strong WiFi, a good shower and comfy bed.
There are some drawbacks. The entrance is particularly dark, rocky and mosquito-ey even by DC English basement standards. Ceiling height inside is under 6 ft and I hit my head several times, especially in the bedroom where it dips more. The bedroom has a ticking water (?) meter that got loud enough to wake me up. The smell of fried eggs wafted through at 7am, and ceilling noise levels were high enough to awaken from 6:30-7am daily. The kitchen and entire unit have a food odor issue, possibly because of an a/c intake pulling in smells from the kitchen above. Beth & Brian were responsive, turned the temperature down, and did I mention the location next to the Metro? At under $100/night this unit would be great.
