Dawn's attic apartment was perfect for my 10 night stay; convenient by bus to the metro station and in a beautiful, safe area. As I was moving up to DC and had a ton of luggage, she gladly picked me up from the metro, luggage and all, and drove me to her place. Her home is neat, clean and darling. And although she hosts other guests, there was NEVER a problem with sharing the bathroom. All of the other tenants were quiet and courteous. She also gave me the lay of the land as far as bus routes and whatnot, provides keys to make entering and leaving her home very easy (and you're able to lock your own room) and she's prompt to respond via email for any questions you have. I highly recommend staying at Dawn's as she has hosting down perfectly.
