It was a great experience staying at Ethel's place. She emailed well in advance and was kind enough to let us leave our luggage when we arrived very early. Her place is in a neighborhood where they seem to know each other. Not far to the Metro stop, and can walk up to 8th which has lots of restaurants and shops. The house is a slice house in a row, the room was a nice, comfortable room with a bathroom next door. Totally comfortable and easy to explore from. Thanks, Ethel!
