I had a very pleasant stay with Luizilda (Lucy). She is a lovely host- very personable and easy going. She was quite happy to offer suggestions for local activities and dining options and did her very best to make sure my stay in DC was comfortable and convenient. The apartment was very clean and located in a quiet residential neighborhood but not very far at all (5 mins drive) to local restaurants and cafes. I would highly recommend her as a host and would happily stay with her again on subsequent trips to DC.
