Very nice and clean. Amazing shower. We stayed for a concert in DC, the location was great and very easy to access. Bed was comfortable and not a lot of noise from the upstairs neighbors.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I never entered the dwelling. I was given the wrong entry code and had to find other accommodations. I was unable to get a phone number to call the owner from Expedia or VRBO. At midnight I checked in to a hotel after trying to get help from 4 p.m. The next day, through text messages the owner was rude and unwilling to return my payment saying I had not called her. Again, I stated that I could not get her number to cancel. I will not use Expedia or VRBO again and I certainly recommend readers not reserve this property. Outside areas were snow and ice packed. Taxi would not drive up the alley to the door. I fell twice and had to leave luggage in door-way while I looked for a way to contact anyone for help.

Not happy

Arrived late at night. Had been given the wrong door code.There was no hostess on site ever. Found a neighbor with building owners phone number, so I was able to get inside. Had been promised Wi/Fi, never given a pass word even though I asked for one on the site. No broom or dustpan to help keep place clean. Never found a store with end walking distance. Over all I was not happy with my stay.

Pros and Cons

Low ceiling basement with no outside views. But fresh and clean with colorful art and linens. Good shower. Host, Rashin, is very responsive. Dehumidifier & AC. Dangerous steps to entry. Steep & uneven step risers with no handrails and a head-banging overhead. Difficult for luggage. Anyone with mobility issues should not stay here. Small window by bed should be left open for ventilation. Room needed airing out when we arrived. There is noise from tenants above. Hair dryer does not work. Space is best for 2 people. This was suitable for our stay and we enjoyed DC and the Capital Hill neighborhood.

Conveniently located

The property is conveniently located for quick access to the main tourist attractions. And while there are no close shops/cafes/restaurants, if you don't mind a 20-minute walk (or short scooter/bike ride) there are good options. The owner was responsive and helpful whenever I had questions. I will note for others this is a basement studio. From the array of photos and "1 bedroom" detail, I interpreted it that there is a separate bedroom. It is just one large room with two beds (or, I guess, 1 bed and a couch). The one bed is futon hard. The 2nd bed is harder-than-futon but softer-than-concrete. In decades of travel, the bed won the award for the hardest bed I've ever experienced. Consider yourself informed. The small kitchen was clean and adequately supplied for what you expect.

Fulfilled hour every need

We absolutely loved this property. It was in a charming and very diverse neighborhood. We were able to talk to neighbors who are out and about. Lots of young families and kids biking around. Bus lines in every direction are available within a few short blocks. I would highly recommend taking public transportation. Make sure you get your smart trip card before you come. The unit was spotless, well appointed and cheery.

Wish we would have stayed at a hotel

The neighbors upstairs were so noisy all day and all night . The tv was very outdated and small and didn’t get any channels, only one person could really view it. The beds had thin mattresses and not comfortable . We were only given 2 towels for a 4 night stay , the owner brought more but still not enough, especially when site seeing and showering twice a day and no access to washer and dryer . Definitely needs some upgrades .

Overall, very good. Consider: a railing for us older folks to the point of entry; provide some coffee; and make clear the proximity (in miles) to the Mall as well as to the Metro(I may have misread, but somehow they were a lot closer. Thanks, Rashin.

Nice neighborhood, easy to get to the main attractions.

Overall fine. We rented as a home base, not a place to spend our time. Positives: Good location for the price, nice neighborhood. We rented Capital Bikes and had an easy time getting around the city for very low cost. Full size fridge. Negatives: I can’t say for certain, but the bed didn’t seem like a regular queen size. Could hear the upstairs tenants in the morning. Shower had very little pressure.

Just right

We are a family of four that needed a convenient home base so we could stay in town for a funeral. Rashin responded to our request right away and got us all set up, making sure we had all the information about the place and surrounding area up front. As I was packing for our trip, I sent her a message asking if there was an iron and she immediately responded that there was. 😅 The room was clean and cozy and we really enjoyed the remote controlled fireplace, especially since it was snowing when we arrived. It stayed below freezing out while we there but we were toasty within minutes each time we returned to the room. We had everything we could need and then some. We even got to squeeze in a trip to the Smithsonian for the kids. There are two metro stops a half-mile away. Having the parking space was ideal, making it easy for us to just walk to the metro and leave our car and not worry about parking downtown. When we had questions about ordering food- Rashin was helpful and again, very prompt with her responses. Beds were so comfy and the kitchenette was perfect. Thank you so much to our wonderful host! You really helped turn a sad occasion into a pleasant weekend. The kids are already asking to go back and stay there again. Maybe in the warmer weather 😊

We had a great time!

Rashin is an attentive host! When the TV wouldn't play upon our arrival (we were ready to relax after unpacking and getting our food), someone showed up at our door within 30 minutes to fix the problem! When it was late one night and the upstairs neighbors were quite loud, one text got Rashin's attention and she took care of it Quickly! The studio apartment had everything we needed for a restful stay during our busy trip to D.C. Bed and linens were comfy; the apartment is so well lit, you'll forget you are in a basement. While the walls could use a fresh coat of scrubbable paint because it shows the marks and stains of previous users, and floorboards could use a good scrub and the same scrubbable paint, things were clean enough. Several have mentioned the steps to the basement--they are steep but not so steep to be a problem for me (and my knees are not the greatest). I knew they were steep so I held onto the ledge to ease the impact and no problem! I would recommend a stair rail when improvements are considered. Overall, a fresh, clean space with comfortable furnishings and a toasty warm heater made our down times at our "home" base truly lovely. Thank you!
