Laura's house was ideal for my visit to Washington DC. The four of us (mom, dad and our 2 tween kids) felt comfortable, safe and welcome. Uber and Lyft were an easy and quick way to get to the tourist attractions. We could have just as well walked to the nearby metro stop but Uber and Lyft were so convenient. Laura's house is exactly as she described: family-friendly layout, including big backyard, in a safe and friendly residential neighborhood. Communication with Laura and her friend and neighbor, Dahlia, was a pleasure. The house was clean and comfortably furnished. The air conditioning worked well. The kitchen was well stocked with staples that we were welcome to use. Overall I felt like we were staying at a relative's house while they were away; Laura's hospitality included abundant care and consideration. Thank you, Laura, for the privilege of borrowing your lovely home.
