I stayed in the lower level apartment of Elmar and Michelle's home for nearly 1 week while attending a conference. It was an easy walk to the conference center and very convenient to all the other sights and things to do in Washington. Michelle was a wonderful hostess and the apartment was clean and comfortable with all the amenities I needed, much more reasonably priced than local hotels. There were some other international guests staying in the house at the time, from Austria, New Zealand, etc. and I enjoyed the speaking with them when I came home in the evenings, though I still had complete privacy when I was ready to go to my own space. I would overall definitely recommend this home to other airbnb guests.
