Barbara has a lovely home! The room upstairs is just as described. It was comfortable, clean, and quiet for my stay. Barbara was a gracious host, communicated well, easy to talk to and reach, whenever needed. The home, the room I stayed, and hosting - everything was great!

Location: For visitors like me, who are not familiar to DC, the area is considered a bit unsafe. I had absolutely no issues as I was picked up from and dropped off to the door by Uber every time. But I was suggested by Uber drivers and some local friends that the area is upcoming but a bit unsafe to walk around. So, I did not make use of the metro (although one of the days it was shut down anyway). Again, I faced no problems at all. It is only 5-7 mins drive to downtown DC with no traffic.
