I stayed with Mila for a very quick weekend trip for a friend's wedding (got in to DC on Friday morning and checked out by Sunday morning). The location is great, being just minutes walking distance from the Howard University campus, local food options and chances to immerse yourself in culture (and the wedding venue!). first floor fridge, kitchen, living room and jpstairs bedroom and bathroom were all available to me, as Mila resides in the basement/street level. Mila was gracious enough to let me drop off my bags before check in time at 3pm (I arrived around 11am). Mila was friendly upon arrival and soon sat me down to explain my transit options and told me where to get a metro card, as I'd explained I wanted to go to the SAAM. I ended up walking to the Columbia Heights station, took the train/walked to the Smithsonian art museum, and lost myself in art for hours, ending my evening with a light dinner at Busboys and Poets. Returning to Mila's was no problem, key in hand, and I was able to shower and sleep without issue. Before I left on Sunday morning, Mila offered me a breakfast of a tasty waffle and coffee. Thanks, Mila! I would definitely stay at Mila's again!
