My mom and I spent 1-week vacation in D.C. and we enjoy our stay very much. We basically have the basement to ourselves, and the place is very clean. Emmanuelle respects our privacy, but is there if we need help, and responses quick. The house is under 1 min walk to the nearest bus stop, and 10-15min bus ride to 2 train stations with lines that takes you to pretty much everywhere you need to go in the greater D.C. area. It is accessible whether you drive a car or take public transportation. Overall, great stay.
