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.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us during your conference visit. I’m glad you found the location convenient for exploring D.C. I’m sorry to hear that there were flies and gnats near the entrance of the basement and it detracted from your experience. I wish this was brought to my attention during your stay, as I wasn’t aware there was an issue and therefore didn’t have the opportunity to investigate or take corrective measures while you were here. Had I known, I would have gladly looked into it right away. I will certainly inspect the area to determine if there is a source that needs attention. Thank you again for your stay and for taking the time to provide your feedback.

Ideal for single or close couple. It's a beautiful 'hole in the basement' providing a great place to take a break from the city. The neighborhood is quiet. The walkway has lighting as you go. The concrete stairs are steep! My knees aren't the greatest and I found the stairs challenging but doable. Once inside I found everything I needed and a very nice place to sleep. As the listing mentions house noises from other guests staying upstairs are certainly present. What I heard was mostly creaking noises as people moved around upstairs. Very worth noting as some may not be able to tolerate.There was a mistake in the listing regarding parking. The host contacted me immediately upon being made aware and was more than accommodating. This property has no parking - guests are expected to get a ride as most people do in the DC area. If a guest does drive they must find either street or other parking. I was able to park on the street and had very little concern - it's located in a nice quiet neighborhood. I had no trouble at all! I found it cheaper than a hotel, easier to deal with, less exposure (I'm rather private), and overall perfect for my purpose of a shower and a good night's sleep.

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.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for highlighting the cleanliness, comfort, convenient location, and friendly neighborhood. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. I also appreciate you sharing your thoughts. For future guests, I would like to provide a bit of additional context: 1. The backyard and entrance to the basement had been professionally treated frequently. While those treatments help reduce mosquito activity, Washington, DC is built on former swamp land, so mosquitoes are unfortunately common throughout the summer months, especially after periods of rain and around dusk. 2. Regarding noise, our listing description clearly notes that this is a family home with a separate guest suite upstairs. Because it is an older home, some sound transfer between floors is to be expected, and guests who are particularly sensitive to noise may find that the space is not the best fit. 3. Laundry services (ex. washer) is not among the list of amenities advertised in the listing. We also do encourage prospective guest to review the list of amenities before booking to help manage expectations. I’m grateful for your kind words and wish you all the best.
