Catherine's place was in a terrific location, convenient to Metro. She was waiting when I arrived and very helpful. The space was just fine for a single traveler like myself--I even managed to make my way through a novel from the well stocked bookcase while I was there! There is a grocery store across the street that was great for putting together quick meals when I didn't feel like eating out, and I used the microwave to heat things up. But first and foremost: Location, location, location--a great neighborhood--and close to the excellent Chinatown/Vietnamese section with its fantastic foods.
