Karl was very communicative and the place was clean and tidy. Easy to find and plenty of street parking. Karl was quick to respond to text messages but not as quick to respond to us not having a bathroom light for the whole stay. We were at a conference and not getting home until after dark every night so a light in the bathroom to have a shower before bed would have been useful. Seems like a minor detail but it’s a bigger issue for someone with mobility issues. Apart from this small disappointment the stay was good, good location, plenty of street parking and only a short drive into the city.

Karl was very good at communicating back. The unit felt welcoming. Great location. My feedback would be to get toilet serviced. Toilet leaks frequently. Bed in the bedroom was unsteady and shaky. Maybe needs a screw tightened.

Karl was place was very nice and cozy and as described. About an 8 min walk to Takoma Metro and a short walk to a Safeway grocery store. Neighborhood was very nice, quiet and peaceful. Unit is great for short stays with a significant other. Highly recommend!

Overall decent stay. Back door entry was convenient but there was no walkway to the door so when it rained we went through muddy grass (it rains a lot in DC, otherwise I wouldn’t be bothered). We had a slight issues with mosquitos getting inside through the door and chewing us up a bit. A repellent by the door or inside would probably be sufficient. Close to grocery and metro and fairly quiet. In a nice neighborhood. Bathroom is a little cramped for more than 1 person. Overall fine stay.
