Henrike and her family were awesome! Kind, polite, and welcoming. They took care of every detail, and also made us delicious cookies. We had a chance to meet the whole family, and enjoyed talking with them. We had the whole basement - big, clean, and well-equipped (towels, blankets, coffee & tea, kettle, and lots of beautiful posters). The neighborhood was not super close to downtown DC, but was quiet and beautiful. Staying at Henrike's house definitely made our time in DC more enjoyable. I would recommend Henrike wholeheartedly! :)
