Helen was an amazing host and I appreciate her constant communication while I was in town. On my first night, my flight was delayed several hours and I did not arrive n D.C. until 1:00 AM. Helen was sweet enough to contact me early on and ensure that I was safe which was reassuring as a solo traveler in a new city. Once I did arrive, I was happy to find water, dishware, and extra blankets. The bed is very soft which was a huge plus after a long weekend with family. As far as the neighborhood, Temple Hills can require a bit of caution but my dad scoped out the neighborhood and assured me that this neighborhood is safe. Not only is it located behind a local police precinct, but the neighbors are also friendly and attentive. There were guests above my stay that were a bit noisy but Helen was kind enough to contact them for me and ask them to be more considerate. Enjoy your stay!
