Kathleen struck just the right balance between providing privacy and offering support and information. She creates an unusually welcoming, caring and friendly environment from arrival through departure. The house was perfect logistically with an easy walk to Eastern Market, the Capitol building, Library of Congress, the Supreme Court and other points of interest on and around the Mall, as well as offering convenient access to the Metro. A wide selection of restaurants and coffee houses are nearby. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet and safe. The description on the Airbnb website is an accurate description of the residence and the amenities provided. I have no reservation in recommending this residence as a well managed, comfortable, relaxing haven in the Capitol Hill area. It is a beautiful, old house with original hardwood floors and an amazing front door and entrance. Kathleen was a wonderful, engaging host who even offered to assist my daughter in her search for employment. She also provided a parking permit that took the stress out of finding a space for my car during my five day visit.
