The unit was comfortable and well located for our needs. Having the EV charger was also a plus. The gate entry code device could be better lit at night, but the flashlight function on our phones solved that issue.

Lovely little apartment for our small family

Apartment was charming and cozy. An excellent space in a safe neighborhood from which to explore D.C! Beds were comfortable and it was way more convenient and affordable than staying in a nearby hotel during tourist season! Property manager was helpful and responsive. Would definitely recommend.

Property was super cute and as described. It is in the basement of a home so you will hear some noise of the owners above. But relatively early in the night the noise over head ceased. It was a non-issue for us. Great neighborhood. Extra bonus—there is a single parking spot near the entry point to the flat. Convenient to shops and public transport. Beds super comfortable. Kitchen was tiny but perfect. Everything we needed. Would highly recommend.

This property was a nice home away from home. It was very clean and was supplied with lots of necessities such as detergent, spices, bathroom extras. There is a parking spot and we were able to park our Chevrolet Full sized double cab truck, it was tight, but we managed it! We felt very safe in the lovely neighborhood and its location was very convenient! Definitely would stay there again.

Good time

It was a good stay over all but I traveled will a family member with bad knees and in the apartment the sud-floor was uneven and led to the knee pain and the floors pulling up and leading to cuts on the feet. There where only 4 people (56 to 15) and it was a little crowded but it was cheaper and larger than a hotel to if the tiny things do not bother you this is a great place to stay.

Beautiful apt in Mt. Pleasant

This apartment was exactly what we were looking for! Very nice, quiet neighborhood, with tree-lined streets and a dedicated parking spot, but close to food restaurants and shops.The owner Asem was super responsive and checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. The apartment was also spotless.The only down side was that one of the sleeping spots is a trundle bed, and if the mattress underneath is pulled out, you can’t really walk in the room at all. We solved this by just bringing the 2nd mattress out to the roomy living room.It really is a lovely place, and we will definitely be back!
