Heather was an amazing host, especially since most of her communication was done while she was out of town. She was very clear with directions and has a great system for welcoming guests even when she isn't there. She quickly responded to my numerous questions with good humor.

The house is as described - except that it is so much more! The space is a total surprise given the surrounding brownstones. It is set back from the street and very deceptive. Upon entering, you are greeted by a light and airy space adorned with incredible original artwork!

The house is spacious and clean. Heather really meant it when she said to treat her home as if it were your own. Even though there were two other couples staying there, we never got in each other's way, and there were no issues with noise.

Her cat Shoko is a sweetie, and her assistant Joe is just great! Couple this with the fantastic location just 10 mins walk from the Metro and great restaurants on 8th St SE and this was a really delightful experience! The Capitol Building and Mall are only about a 30-45 min. walk, and Heather supplied lots of great instructions and websites for exploring DC.

I highly recommend Heather's lovely home and would gladly stay with her again. The only negative I can cite is that I didn't get a chance to meet her in person. Maybe next time!
