We had a wonderful time in DC during the 250th anniversary of the USA. The basement apartment was very clean except for the countertop ice maker, which was a fantastic not advertised addition. Thank you!! The AC was on when we got there and didn't need to turn the window units except for a couple times during all of our stay even though there was a terrible heat wave that week. The bed is very high and comfy, and sofa bed is also very comfy according to my adult son. The apartment is dated and in need of a major bathroom remodel but, everything was very clean, plenty of nice linens. Quick hot water. We were barely there anyways; we were out and about all day. We did cook breakfast and everything worked as expected. Very basic kitchenware but it did the job. The only disappointing thing was the washer and dryer not working but Alex let us know in advance, so we packed accordingly. It would've been nice though cause the outfits we thought we could repeat, NO WAY in that hot weather. LOL.
The location is amazing, nice quiet neighborhood and still only 2.5 blocks from the metro and plenty of restaurants to pick from. Also, there's a Trader Joe's 1/2 block from there, a CVS, the Eastern Market and more. I am very thankful to have found this place at a price that didn't break the bank. Thank you, Alex!
