Guest access Guests will have access to the entire basement apartment using a keyless smart lock system There are stairs inside the unit lead up to a private residence that guests do not have access to. A door separates the units and we have taken sound mitigation measures, including hanging a soundproofing blanket, to minimize noise leakage. We take every effort to minimize noise when we have guests, but it is an old house and like many old houses in DC, you may hear footsteps and muffled voices at times from upstairs. My husband and I are also fully vaccinated and boosted from COVID and follow the most current mask guidelines. We abide by the Airbnb 5 step cleaning process at all times. Other things to note: We have two small children so we ask that you follow quiet hours from 10pm-7am. We try to keep our space family friendly, so we ask that you do the same (i.e. no smoking, parties, drugs, etc.). We try our best to give you the quietest space possible, and please give us some grace as we try and minimize the noise they may make. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask us. Thank you!
