Michael's BNB was an excellent choice for at least these 10 reasons:
1. The house was easy to locate in a safe neighbourhood about 10 minutes from Union Station
2.Arrival meeting was perfectly on time
3. Initial tour of the property was comprehensive and clear. We sorted a request I had at this point. The room is a good size and brightly decorated.
4. Michael is an early riser so we never clashed over the bathroom arrangements. Good shower and bath. Towels provided.
5. The Capitol and end of the Mall are an easy 20 minutes walk
6. There a good shopping and eating facilities in safe areas 5-10 minutes walk away. Kenny's BBQ offers an excellent and economic menu close by.
7. Michael is a helpful host who also leaves you to your own space.
8. Michael was flexible about leaving arrangements - I picked up a bag mid-afternoon.
9. There are two metro line choices within 15 minutes walk - it's 25 minutes to Reagan Airport from there.
10 The area is a pleasant one to dwell in - if only for a few days - with a helpful host.
