About this property

1BR, 1BA - 2.5 miles to U.S. Capitol & National Mall

Basement apartment design for budget- savvy travelers who are looking for simple, and clean accommodation. You can anticipate having others/guest staying upstairs, and that comes with some noise.

———————————-
Before booking, please review the list of amenities available (ex. There is no in-unit laundry or dishwasher) , and keep the following relevant disclosures in mind:

[SIZE] - due to the size of the unit, this is best for a solo or a couple. The flat is approximately 300-350 square feet. Under DC’s zoning regulation, no more than two people should occupy a bedroom.

[NOISE SENSITIVITY] - This home was built in 1940 so noise travels very easily (ex. foot steps, voices, etc) especially since this is a basement unit.

If you're sensitive to noise, this is might not be an ideal choice.

**By booking, you are stipulating that you are aware of the noise and sound coming from those above (including young children) staying upstairs on the main level. **

Also, this is a semi-detach row home, so do expect occasional music and/or noise to come through the neighboring wall.

[TEMPERATURE] - The basement does NOT have dedicated HVAC or in unit control of the thermostat. We provide a fan for warmer summer months and space heaters for the colder winter months to supplement the whole-house central air.

[LOCATION] -The house is situated in a residential area with no nearby restaurants or bars. The closest metro station is 1 mile away, which is a 25-minute walk or a 8 minute bus ride on the V4 line.

We live in a predominantly African-American neighborhood made up of residential apartments and mixed-income housing.

This area is not near downtown and has not been gentrified like other parts of DC.

[SECURITY] - We do not allow outside guest/visitors on the property who are not included in the reservation.

Security cameras (front & back) are located on the outside of the premise.

Reservation will be cancelled and penalty will be applied if violated.

[CRITICAL] - We have a strict NO smoking (including vaping) policy. Reservation will be cancelled and penalty violation for air duct, furniture, and extra cleaning, and loss of revenue will be applied if violated.

——————————
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The apartment also includes an ironing board.

A great place for a short stay. I was in town for a conference and this location was only a short ride from a lot of D.C. sites and shops. The only thing that I couldnt get past was the amount of flies and gnats that I had to battle at the entrance where the room was located.

Very clean and only a 9 min drive to the jfk stadium. There was some walking sounds upstairs but that was to be expected and it wasn't bad. The history responded to my questions and the room was very clean. Towels and sheets were provided and clean.

I enjoyed my stay at Gerry's place, The place was very clean and comfortable. As a traveler I would want to hear the pros and the cons...and the cons are easily fixable and not too bad at all. Walls are thin and the entire house is rented so you may hear other people. Also the unit is advertised with washer and dryer and it the washer does not work. Lastly, I rented the basement unit. There is a swarm of mosquitos that you have to fight through going down the steps with bags in your hands. I believe these can be mitigated by the host. Mosquitos are a natural thing, but these are excessive. HOWEVER Gerry is really sweet. The neighbors were so friendly. The neighborhood is not bad and walkable; 2 grocers right across from each other and the place was clean with a comfortable bed. I would come back but would definitely need the mosquitos mitigated and the washer working.
