We absolutely loved this home! The basement apartment feels like a full home, it is well appointed with two comfortable beds, a great living room/kitchen area and dining space. The hosts are attentive and caring, the space is immaculate. The property offers easy access to navigating surrounding historical Mount Pleasant, the National Zoo both walkable from the property; and downtown DC by car. We enjoyed the host's recommendations for outstanding local restaurants and activities. Come enjoy this lovely space and the local cusine.

Ying was an incredibly helpful, communicative, and kind host. We spent 4 nights in the apartment and enjoyed the comfortable accommodations and amenities like the washer/dryer and full kitchen. Mt. Pleasant is a lovely community with a farmers' market and friendly neighbors. We had never been to DC before, so we didn't expect to be a 15–20-minute drive from the museums but getting around was very easy with a short walk to busses and train.
