Other Things to Note:
We are a family living upstairs, and have 2 children who you may possibly be able to hear at times happily playing and running around as children often do. Respectfully, please refrain from booking with us if you are super extra sensitive to noise. Some chance for noise should actually come to be expected with any DC English basement rental. Thanks in advance for your understanding!!
