Damon's place exceeded my expectations. Though it is a basement unit, there are windows that let natural light in and the lighting throughout the space is so thoughtfully done. Although the space is not huge, the excellent design (recessed lighting, pocket doors, lots of outlets) makes it very comfortable for a several night stay. The bathroom, while small, is stylish and well planned. I was so happy to find toiletries (because I always forget shampoo, conditioner, etc). You can hear footsteps and general noise from the main living level, but it did not feel disruptive at all. The place is located in a beautiful (hilly) walking neighborhood, easy to walk to downtown and very close to the trifecta of Harris Teeter/Trader Joes/Whole Foods. Damon was welcoming and very responsive to any questions I had. Highly recommend!
