Stayed at this location for a month with a co-worker. We were pleased with the location and the apartment has everything you need for a stay (washer/dryer, kitchen appliances). Unfortunately, however, the house is quite old and you can hear absolutely EVERYTHING from the family upstairs (stomping kids, running up and down stairs, dogs, voices, guests). I spoke to the owner several times as this was very disturbing to our sleep and ability to study and relax at the apartment in the evenings. She unfortunately couldn’t do much about it due to the nature of the older home and the flooring. She did offer to let myself and my co-worker find alternate accommodations and only charge us for the time we had stayed thus far, but at that point it was the last week of our trip and there was nothing else suitable available. I booked this apartment well in advance of our trip and hadn’t read several of the more recent reviews about the noise from upstairs - I wish I had as we would have definitely preferred to stay elsewhere (again simply due to the noise, not the location of the apartment or interactions with the owner). I don’t like to leave an overall negative review and maybe this would work for some people for a short term stay but if you need peace and quiet during the evening hours and while you sleep this is not conducive to that.

My husband and I were really impressed with this basement apartment. It was very quiet, clean and well furnished. The outside garden was beautiful, and the neighborhood was excellent. We were able to walk to stores in the downtown area. We would highly recommend this property!

I loved staying in the apartment! It was exactly as described, and Zenith couldn’t have been nicer. Also, I have stayed in a lot of VRBO’s and this was HANDS DOWN the cleanest one I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in (in the world). The only downside was the noise from upstairs. It is pretty clear, but didn’t bother me enough to effect my scoring of the stay. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

It's a really cool place, big open space, nice appliances and furniture, and great neighbors upstairs who tend to a beautiful garden and Bonzai tree family in the backyard. You hear the neighbors and the paws (but never barks) of their two super sweet pit bulls SLIGHTLY through the ceiling, but it's pretty minor and never early morning or late night. Zenith the host is super responsive and kind. Only slight downside is if you're very tall! I'm 6 feet and the wooden cover over the pipes that you can see in the photos required some ducking to get under. And of course it's a basement apartment so there's not much natural light though there are a few windows that let some in. I advise just going outside and taking a walk down the pretty back alley anytime you need some air. Would definitely consider staying again!

We absolutely loved the property! The kitchen is well stocked, had everything we needed. The location is great! We walked into Silver Springs which has a lot to offer. We were also able to walk to the Metro to get to DC. Very easy to get around. We would definitely visit again. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

My husband, my four year old and I stayed and it was perfect! Everything is super close! We walked to the metro every day and it is also within walking distance to grocery stores! Zenith is very receptive. Also, we never heard them above us at all!

I am a night shift nurse and was warned about noise due to the owner’s kid, but the noise was a lot!! There’s was screaming and stomping and running, it was really loud, it woke me and my friend up multiple times during the day. Maybe if you are not night shift, it would suit you fine. The place is very clean and stylish! The owner is very responsive too! Just the noise was more than I could bear on some days.

I stayed for three weeks, and my husband stayed with me for one of those weeks, as I was visiting with my new grandson, who was born just a few weeks ago. I had a wonderful time, and the place was perfect. I worked remotely in the mornings, and then went over to visit my son and daughter in law to help with the new baby in the afternoons and evenings. Zenith was great, and was good with my daughter in law and the baby coming over to get naps a few times when tree-cutters were chopping down trees nearby. Zenith even dropped off a portacrib for the baby to use. I'll definitely be coming back here for more grandson visits.

This is a lovely rental near to Washington DC. Very comfortable in size, beautifully decorated, and very clean with lovely thick fluffy white towels. We are all under 6 feet tall, so the overhead heating ducts (which were cleverly covered) were not a problem for us. You do hear the family moving around above, but not much different than when living in an apartment. Must be able to navigate stairs, which we were able to do in spite of being in our 70's and traveling with our 50 year old mobility challenged daughter. Great communication with the host Zenith.
