Basement apartment design for budget- savvy travelers who are looking for simple, and clean accommodation. You can anticipate having others/guest staying upstairs, and that comes with some noise.
———————————-
Before booking, please review the list of amenities available (ex. There is no in-unit laundry or dishwasher) , and keep the following relevant disclosures in mind:
[SIZE] - due to the size of the unit, this is best for a solo or a couple. The flat is approximately 300-350 square feet. Under DC’s zoning regulation, no more than two people should occupy a bedroom.
[NOISE SENSITIVITY] - This home was built in 1940 so noise travels very easily (ex. foot steps, voices, etc) especially since this is a basement unit.
If you're sensitive to noise, this is might not be an ideal choice.
**By booking, you are stipulating that you are aware of the noise and sound coming from those above (including young children) staying upstairs on the main level. **
Also, this is a semi-detach row home, so do expect occasional music and/or noise to come through the neighboring wall.
[TEMPERATURE] - The basement does NOT have dedicated HVAC or in unit control of the thermostat. We provide a fan for warmer summer months and space heaters for the colder winter months to supplement the whole-house central air.
[LOCATION] -The house is situated in a residential area with no nearby restaurants or bars. The closest metro station is 1 mile away, which is a 25-minute walk or a 8 minute bus ride on the V4 line.
We live in a predominantly African-American neighborhood made up of residential apartments and mixed-income housing.
This area is not near downtown and has not been gentrified like other parts of DC.
[SECURITY] - We do not allow outside guest/visitors on the property who are not included in the reservation.
Security cameras (front & back) are located on the outside of the premise.
Reservation will be cancelled and penalty will be applied if violated.
