Susanne is extraordinary, with an effervescent personality that really makes you feel at home. Because of a guest accommodation added onto the house some years ago (used by Susanne), the upstairs three bedrooms make a great suite of rooms for airbnb guests. Coupled with the normal rooms on the first floor, she provides a wonderful facility.

We were pleasantly surprised by the proximity to Rock Creek Park, and took a two-hour hike there. The Metro station is a 15 minute walk away, but we quickly became acclimated to the exercise. (You can take a bus to the Metro if you wish.)

Most of our Washington activities were downtown, but our accommodations seemed suburban. That worked out fine too. The Metro Red Line whisked us to & from our destinations with ease.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention the amenities. Everything was there, in abundance.
