Great Place to Stay
The apartment was great. Very clean and inviting. Carl was great throughout the entire process. He answered all the questions we had and helped us with the parking permit. 10/10 will rent again!

Good Short Stay for Me
Everything was as it said in the description. It is in the basement so there are some low ceilings. If you are over 6' tall you may need to duck. It was within a 10 minute walk of the metro green line.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Carl's basement apartment for a combined work trip and vacation to DC. The space was more comfortable than a hotel room, at a lower total cost than most. Carl was very proactive about providing helpful information and checking that everything was OK. Although we didn't take advantage, a pingpong table and video arcade game added to the charm. It was within a reasonable walking distance to restaurants, groceries and a metro station.

Nice little appartment
The appartment has everything you need. The pictures and description are very accurate. Before arriving, Carl was very helpfull in getting a parking permit from the city. He also asked us if we needed anything else during our stay. Even though Carl's family is living upside, it was not disturbing at all. The ping-pong table and the arcade game was very fun to play. Thank you Carl!
