Hillary, is truly a super host, she was open to interaction or none at all. My best friend and I went to Washington to see Michael Buble in concert and tour the city. We were not at Hillary's except to sleep but we had a blast. Hillary is located walking distance from the metro, and just a short, reasonable lyft price from the downtown area. She has a clean, private basement apartment and the neighborhood is very quiet. The hotels downtown are so expensive and do not provide parking for thier guest, that cost an additional 60 per day and up. Hillary let's you park for free and even let us drop our car off at her place several hours before check in so we could sight see. We had a great experience and will stay with her again next time we are in town.
