Great location in Washington DC
As per the description, this apartment was an ideal location in Washington DC. The red line metro stations within a few minutes' walk meant easy access to most of the attractions that we wanted to visit. Nearby Hillwood Estate is within easy walking distance. The local neighbourhood has a good variety of shops and food places, and an Avis/Budget branch in Van Ness made our rental car pickup really easy. Dolan Coffee at the Cleveland Park metro even does a flat white. We felt quite safe walking around this area. While the apartment is a somewhat eclectic space, it was comfortable and had recent upgrades to provide plenty of power outlets and lighting options. Overall it was well-equipped; good internet and TV with streaming options, washer and dryer that were very handy after a week of travelling, and kitchen including a coffee machine and an oversize stove (but no roasting dish or trays). We enjoyed staying in the apartment for six nights and would recommend it.

Great location, but a not for light sleepers
Pros: super cute space with everything we needed for breakfasts at home before we fueled up to check out the sights. Well-appointed kitchen and fold out sofa bed for the kid. The basement location means that it is dark and cave like for sleeping at night. Lots of good lighting for when you need it during the day. Great location close to grocery, Metro, and restaurants, as well as parks. Cons: It's noisy--you can hear footsteps, pets, conversations, pretty much everything happening on the floor above. The baseboard heat also cycles through a clicking noise every half hour or so. If you are a heavy sleeper, it's probably fine. For me, it was a bit rough.

Convenient Location
This is a basement apartment with very little sun light. It reminds me of the apartments I had in college. The location and the cost are great but I would recommend this only for short-term stays. You are short walking distance from the Metro and Zoo. The parking spot they provide was very cheap and secure but you can also street park one block further east for free depending on your comfort level as it’s quite dark there. The futon in the living room is probably great for children but I would not recommend this place for 4 adults.

A nice place to stay in NW DC
Great location with comfortable bed and ample, nice quality bath linens. Basement apartment with mini windows but good for sleeping in. Bathroom was tight and shower needs some TLC but good water pressure. Keurig machine in kitchen but bring your own pods and tea bags. All in all a very good value if you are looking to stay in the area and planning to be out and about.

Very convenient, quiet, cool and well designed for a convenient and comfortable stay. In addition to well provided kitchen, they have laundry and wi-fi and had all basic supplies available. We used the bed and the futon bed and both were comfortable with cozy comforters. We would stay there again.

We had a fantastic stay. The property is walking distance to several Metro stops, the National Zoo and a wide range of restaurants. We met the owner when we arrived and parked in one of her parking spaces behind the house. I highly recommend you reserve the parking,as on street is not a guarantee. We look forward to staying here on our next visit

Great Place to Stay in DC
This property is fantastic. It is in a beautiful neighborhood within walking distance of 2 Metro stations and several great restaurants. We felt very safe walking home late at night. The space itself was larger than we expected, and it is very stylish and well appointed. It would be an amazing place to live year-round! Mary Jo was an organized and gracious host, and she responded rapidly to our messages. We had a great time, and we hope to stay there again on our next visit to DC.

Nice location
Overall the basement apartment was a good set up, kitchen supplied with good cookware, convenient access to the metro and located in a quite residential neighborhood. What was needed is some improvements to comfort. The couch was uncomfortable, an armchair was needed so that more than two people could sit, and the bed could be upgraded. The bath also needed to be re-caulked and cleaned. The refrigerator door handle could also be switched from left to right, allowing you to access the fridge without walking into the wall. Owners also ask for parking fees in cash at the end of the stay. Overall, great potential with some work needed.
