This unit should not be on the rental market at all. We have stayed in many converted basement units in the Silver Spring area, and all the others have complied with local building codes by having fire egress windows in the bedrooms. This unit's bedroom is entirely underground and has no windows at all, much less anything providing fire egress. No building permit could possibly have been issued for a project so far out of compliance with local fire safety regulations, so I'm sure this is not the only substandard thing about it.On top of that, the only heating came from space heaters that had to be plugged into power strips. This is not a safe unit for anyone to occupy; we stayed there the night we arrived since we were too tired from flying all day to figure anything else out, but we realized how unsafe it was and moved out the next day.There were numerous other smaller issues: a bed hemmed in by walls on three sides, so that if there are two people sleeping there, one of them has to crawl in and out over the other; no bedroom furniture other than one very small and very flimsy nightstand, so clothes that don't go on hangers can only be either in your suitcase or on the floor; almost no sound insulation between this unit and the main house so that conversations and TV sound were clearly audible. At the price, we expected "basic" rather than "fancy" accommodations, but this place does not meet minimal standards for safety and we would never book it again.
