I came to NE DC for 5 days to help my daughter buy furniture and move to a new apartment. Marina and her family (and the parrots!) were so very welcoming and helpful. The house is clean, comfortable and I felt very much at home. After each long day of shopping, packing and moving I was able to unwind with a glass of wine on the beautiful back porch, sometimes with company and sometimes alone. It was amazing and I definitely hope to stay at this home again when visiting my daughter.
