Good location, easy access to DC. This basement bedroom well maintained, the host was also nice to us.

The area was spacious with a bedroom, small bathroom, living space/kitchen and a small side room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. It was thoughtfully decorated with artwork and paintings on the walls, decorative furnishings and pillows, and interesting furniture.
The host seemed very friendly.
We were supposed to stay 7 nights and left early on our first morning so had to spend extra money to find somewhere else for the additional 6 nights.
Our first impression of the property was that it smelt incredibly strongly of cigarettes which after a few hours left us with awful headaches and the clothes we wore after stank for a few days after until we got somewhere with facilities to do our washing. Despite the washing facilities, we did not want to do our washing there as felt they'd end up smelling awful so cannot comment on how well they work.
When cooking dinner that evening we noticed that some of the cookware was not very clean and ended up washing up before we used anything and wiping down surfaces. The kitchen was very basic but functional though the microwave looked a bit precarious on a kitchen shelf.
We decided to stick it out a night and woke up feeling quite unwell from the smell. I went to make breakfast and noticed a number of ants in the sink where I'd left my plate to be washed up from the night before.
When going to shower, there were water marks all over as if the tiles hadn't been cleaned and the bath felt gritty so I didn't feel it had been cleaned very well.
Myself and my partner have both come away with a couple of Insect bites however, this may be from the walk we took in the evening to get some fresh air.
Also to note: not shown in the photographs is a large staircase to the side of the kitchen. It is blocked off with a variety of items and a large box at the stop but does feel a little open as if someone could come down. We had gotten used to it by the morning but it was a bit unnerving initially as when people walked around upstairs, it really sounded like someone was about to come downstairs. Obviously you can't remove stairs but would have felt better if we'd been told in advance or it had been blocked off a bit better.

No meals involved, but perfect for our needs. My Navy son from Norfolk with his wife came for an overnight visit to Arlington. A convenient location, clean and comfortable and perfect for their two little dogs. I highly recommend this property. Savriti, the owner and hostess, was extremely amicable and considerate.
Nothing, from our perspective.

The location was perfect for me, between the airport and city center. What impressed me most was the friendly and gracious host. I had advised that I would be arriving very late, which she could accommodate, and she even met me in person despite the late hour.

Charming, very well stocked, and tons of space.
There was a lightly stagnant air upon arrival but they had an air purifier/dehumidifier that I turned on and that remedied it.

We had a lovely stay here, very comfortable and cozy basement apartment with private entrance in a beautiful neighborhood. Our hostess Savitri was super friendly and welcoming, and it was the perfect place to relax in between doing things in the city.

A wonderful host and perfect apartment
3.9
the host was very welcoming and went out of her way to show us the space.
good location, very safe and quiet
check in was confusing, as the property is managed online by a different person but hosted by the owner of the house who lives upstairs - no real secure check in procedures

The space was incredibly cozy and well decorated. Ms. Savitri was a great host and her cat Isabella was super friendly. The location is also hard to beat, the neighborhood was safe and had great restaurants and grocery stores nearby.
3.9
Location and price great. The host was exceptionally caring and hospitable. The amenities included a full kitchen as well as a washer and dryer.
There was a continuous smoky smell within the apartment which apparently comes from the living quarters above the apartment. The HVAC system is one unit for both the basement and the living quarters in the house above. Although they were too air purifying small machines in the basement they were insufficient to remove the odor of smoke throughout the apartment. I strongly suggest this information be included in the listing for the property.
We found some parts of the apartment to be very up-to-date but others to be old, including the bed and bedding. In our opinion, the apartment feels cluttered with a lot of extraneous items such as extra pillows on the two sofas and on the bed.
3.9
This place is really cozy and comfortable. We just loved the decorating style! The location is amazing, and it is in a very safe neighborhood. It has all of the amenities one could ask for, and the hostess is such a lovely person! We will absolutely stay here anytime we come back to the DC/Arlington area.
