This was a delightful stay! I wasn’t sure what to expect from a basement apartment in DC, but it was quite spacious and recently renovated with all modern finishes. The couch was so comfy and the shower pressure was amazing! The host was very responsive and accommodating. I’ve already recommended this place to others. Thank you!
