The space
The flat is the family's basement in-law suite that is currently being using to host Vrbo guest. You can anticipate having others living upstairs, and that comes with some noise.
———————————-
Before booking, please review the list of amenities available, 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 35-minute walk or a 10-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 cameras (front & back) are located on the outside of the premise.
Reservation will be cancelled and penalty will be applied if violated.
[CRITICAL] - We have a strict NO smoking (including vaping) policy. Reservation will be cancelled and penalty violation for air duct, furniture, and extra cleaning, and loss of revenue will be applied if violated.

Other things to note
My home is located east of the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C, a major metropolitan city.
My neighborhood is historically made of working-class African-Americans. I live on a peaceful street made up of primarily families and retired seniors.
My house is not in a bustling area with restaurants and bars right around the corner.
Visitors have several options for getting to the Capitol Hill neighborhood quickly, including walking, using the metro bus, taking an Uber/Lift service, or driving their own vehicle. There are also delivery service options through Instacart and takeout.
Finally, DC is a beautiful vibrant city with plenty to do in addition to its impressive history! Please let me know what you're most interested in and I can probably offer a few suggestions.
