Just what you need
This is listing is pretty much what you see is what you get! It's a basement studio apartment, and there's not too much space to move about, but it's got the necessities and even a few extras (the window AC unit was heavenly in the summer heat this week). Being in the basement, the walk around the side of the building and the landing had some critters but not overwhelming. Only had a few sightings inside. The furnishings and decor are all pretty dated, but function well. Bed is really comfortable. Bathroom is pretty small/tight which wasn't a problem for us but if someone in your party likes to spend extended time getting ready, doing makeup/hair it would be challenging. And not much counter space but there's a wall mirror vanity that comes in handy. The space is definitely not ADA accessible with the stairs down to the basement and tight quarters. There is a separate entrance to the area, which is off to the side of the house, away from the main home areas. The owners, also your upstairs neighbors, were overall quiet and not bothersome at all in that regard. The closest metro stop is a solid walk, so if you're relying on public transit, just take that into account, but it's doable (we did it for 6 days!). All in all, it was a really affordable options with some character being in an older home and different space, but fit all of our needs and we would definitely stay again! If you're just looking for a place to sleep and plan to be out an about most of the time this is it!

Lovely little apartment in fantastic, quiet residential area
Lovely little apartment with everything you need! Easy check-in, well-cared for, and well-appointed garden studio, with a full kitchenette, comfy bed, good-sized bathtub, and awesome tv with netflix. Thoughtful details, like fresh bottles of drinking water in the fridge, which was especially appreciated after a long drive. The property owner was also so kind and accommodating with a last-minute check-in change request. Quiet neighborhood near American University, lots of restaurants and some shopping too within walking distance. Ample street parking, and quick and cheap ubers everywhere you want to go. Will stay here again, awesome property and awesome host!

Beautiful location & amazing value
To potential guests: Carefully read each and EVERY review to evaluate if this property is right for you. This is not for you if you have mobility issues or size issues. You must descend stairs to enter and the ceiling is low. This is not for you if you demand absolute and utter perfection. This is for you if you... would be happy to focus on the many wonderful positives and are willing to overlook blemishes and imperfections of an older basement property. Incredible aspects: Absolutely amazing value!! Fantastic perfectly safe neighborhood Beautiful 12 min walk to metro FREE parking!!!!! We saw overnight parking in DC for almost what we payed for this room. If you have a vehicle to park, the free parking can save you tremendously. Full and well equipped kitchen with full size refrigerator and thoughtful extras in the kitchen Washer & dryer & detergent Super hot water Nice towels & linens Comfortable size full bed Comfortable pillows Dark and quiet when it's bedtime You cannot hear traffic It's a very peaceful location Closet with hangers Chest of Drawers I like having places to organize all my stuff after I unpack. I was able to really get comfortable and feel at home here. My suggestion to owner- please install security locks on the interior of ALL doors. I think it is important for the peace of mind and safety of guests to be able to lock all doors from the inside so that no one, including the owner can enter once a guest is in the room.

Cozy spot conveniently placed for travel
This room is small, but comfortable, and has all the basic necessities for a nice stay. Brita Filter, Kuerig machine, pots and pans, cups, plates, and bowls, are provided along with a Fridge, Microwave, stove, and oven. The bed is comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet, making for nice sleep. the house is a 15-25 minute walk away from both the Tenleytown AU and Friendship Heights Metro stops, making travel to Maryland, Virginia, and Downtown DC relatively simple.

Great for a vacation on a budget!
Having lived in DC but rarely made it out to Friendship Heights, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to access other parts of the city on public transit--the metro station is an easy walk, and buses are within a few blocks. This is a woodsy suburban area, so don't forget bug spray for your walk to the train if you visit during mosquito season. Due to the steep entryway this is not ideal for young kids or anyone with mobility issues, but the studio setup was perfect for me as someone traveling alone on a grad student budget.

Cute & Efficient
Elizabeth's property is a homely studio in a quaint neighborhood. Little touches like a bottle of wine, snacks and ingredients for pasta, and lots of pillows were a nice touch. It is a very tight space, as other reviews have mentioned, but the price was incredibly affordable and we loved only being 20 minutes away from Great Falls. There were plenty of great dining options nearby and our host was generous enough to let us store our kayaks in the back yard. You'll need the wifi-we barely had any cell service. Elizabeth was very responsive and friendly when we saw her during our stay. We'll definitely stay here again the next time we're in the area-we don't need much and this was just enough for us.

Wonderful stay in DC!
We loved our stay in Washington DC. The apartment was just perfect for us! Full kitchen, relaxing living area, clean bathroom and comfortable bed! It is in a perfect location, just as it was listed 15 minute walk to the Metro. We had trouble with the tv. I called the property owner. She came within the hour and helped us with using the tv. The owner was extremely helpful! Perfect price for the perfect stay. I would recommend this apartment to anyone taking a trip to Washington DC!
