My daughter and I stayed at Eric's place in DC while we were touring the area to look at colleges. Eric was extremely quick to respond to our initial inquiry and all subsequent communication--thirty minutes or less. The room was beautiful and well-appointed. The house itself was amazing. He left clear instructions on how to find the key, get into the home, etc. We never did actually cross paths as we were out and about as was he. The neighborhood was wonderful--convenient and picturesque. We walked to the Capitol, the National Mall, and museums directly from the house. Because we were there over the weekend, parking on the street was free. The listing was a bit more expensive than others in the DC area, but we chose it because of the location. It was a great decision.
