This is my third time staying in this beautiful, English basement with Home Sweet Home, and it was just as wonderful of a stay as the first two times. A warm and welcoming host offering a pristine 1 bed/1 bath, minutes away from Union Market, with plenty of options for public transit to get you to downtown or the National Mall in no time at all. I couldn’t recommend this space highly enough!

This was the perfect spot for us and we will try to book it for our next visit to DC. For us personally, this unit is 1/2 block from our daughter’s place – she just had a baby so this was super convenient. In general we would give a thumbs up for anyone wanting a nice place for 2 in the Union Market area. The unit was clean, well stocked with kitchen stuff (including complimentary coffee and tea), communication with the host was very timely and informative, and the location was convenient for the Union Market area, Gallaudet and the metro.

We stayed for 5 nights and it was a great stay. The apartment was easy to find, check-in was easy. Everything was just as the pictures showed, very clean, well appointed. There were what we felt were premium teas and coffees. The heating was with a mini-split in the living room and another in the bedroom which made it easy to control the temperature just to our liking. We felt safe in the immediate neighborhood. There are restaurants and supermarkets nearby. it is a short walk to the NOMA-Gallaudet metro station. Location is quite good for getting around the city. Overall it was a very good Airbnb experience.

Checkin was easy and the apartment neat and clean. Also, checkout was smooth and easy. It couldn’t have been a nicer stay and we would stay there again on a future trip to DC

The washer/dryer were excellent, bathroom and cleaning supplies were a joy to use, and wifi/TV worked flawlessly. I especially appreciated the hosts’ responsiveness and friendliness — I felt so well-taken care of. Public transit is close by, and it was also fun to be close to Union Market and explore it often. I recommend!

I booked it for my 20 year-old daughter who was doing a capital Hill internship. There was no full kitchen but adequate microwave and toaster oven. The neighborhood is a little sketchy so she could not run. Initially there was a massive mosquito infestation right outside the entrance to the basement apartment. I reached out to the host and they sprayed pesticide.did not hear about any issues after that. Overall not bad but the price was a little expensive for what we got.

Good for business trips and short stay. Traveling from another city or country, the car parking was not convenient to register and even print the pass. We struggled to find a printer to print the pass. The car parking registration instruction was not clear, made us register until mid-night and we did not know if it is okay to keep the car parked after mid-night. We had to pay extra money to keep the car in a parking garage.

The English basement apartment was perfect for me and my husband. The bed was comfortable and the linens were nice. There were extra blankets and towels, and plenty of space in the closet. The bathroom was really nice, and the toiletries provided were great! The kitchen space includes a new Keurig, a small refrigerator, an induction cookpad, and a microwave/air-fryer combo. We chose not to cook, because there were so many great restaurants in the area, including everything you could ever want inside Union Market. There was an assortment of coffee pods and bagged coffee for us to enjoy. The furniture in the living space was comfortable. I gave us a nice place to relax and watch tv after full days of visiting the monuments, museums, and a baseball game. We mostly used Uber and Lyft to get around, but there are a couple of Metro stops nearby. We felt safe walking around the neighborhood, even at night. We will definitely stay there again.

I stayed in this apartment for a couple of weeks. My original plan was to stay for one week, but needed to extend the stay for an additional week. The host was very accommodating and there were absolutely no issues at all. It truly felt like home during my stay. The kitchen had everything I needed to eat at home. The bathroom met all of my needs (and I LOVED the Public Goods products!), and the bed was very comfortable. The washer and dryer were excellent as well. The best part about this apartment is how close it is to EVERYTHING. I did not need a car to get around. I could easily walk to the nearest Metro station (NOMA-Gallaudet) or take buses anywhere. The food options nearby were endless. I truly enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to come back and stay here once again in the future.

The apartment was very quiet, very accessible, and easy to get to. Since I was working at Gallaudet University all week it was in the perfect spot but also extremely close to transportation and that made it easy to get around, though I mostly walked. Everything is available nearby, including restaurants, grocery stores, and a cute little bar at the end of M street near the metro. Having a washer and dryer on the premises was incredibly convenient, as was a modular microwave that had microwave, air frying, and oven capabilities in one unit. I did at one point set off the smoke alarm (of course, popcorn + unfamiliar microwave = nightmare), and thankfully the owner was home upstairs (learn from my mistake and don’t do this). I felt like a total jerk (it seemed to trigger the fire department, which I felt even more of a jerk about), but the owner was very nice about the whole thing. Thankfully there is a front and back door to get air circulating. I would definitely stay here again!

My partner and I were very uncomfortable while staying here. Before entering we were greeted with hundreds of bugs that also entered the property as you enter the door. We immediately requested for something to be laid outside and then someone came by they said they laid things out but that didn’t last at all & also gave me bug spray, which didn’t help much. The bathroom smell was odd. Not sure if it’s the water or the bathroom. Also, one night it pour heavily. I get the weather has been insane as of lately with the rain, if I didn’t turn back into the room I wouldn’t noticed how it was flooding. I get we are in the basement. But when renting to many people at once. An issue like this should be non existent, or solved immediately. The outside should be waterproofed so water doesn’t seep from widows and damage products or belongings of the people staying there. I wish I enjoyed it more because it was a pretty place. But those inconveniences made it hard for me to enjoy my stay here.

If you’re looking for comfort, would avoid. The mattress was 3 inches with no mattress pad, hard as hardwood floor. This is an unfortunate situation where profit is trumping comfort. The minimum basics with strict check out requirements. Left feeling I was working for them. GO ELSEWHERE! This is just a business for them and you don’t get your monies worth.

Air BNB was clean, bed was very stiff. Like that bed is not comfortable, the couch was softer. It’s ok for someone who won’t be in it much. It’s in the basement so there’s not that much sunlight or views. Check in/out times don’t really make sense. And showers get warm at best. Very nice location, close to U and H street. The place was very clean and accesible. Wifi was amazing. Washer and dryer in suite a big plus.
