I had the pleasure of staying at Michael's place for four weeks. It's a perfect location - 10 minute walk to Union Station, 5 minute walk from Whole Foods grocery stores, and 15 minute walk from the Capitol Hill and start of the National Mall (monuments, museums). The neighbourhood is lovely - historic row houses and lots of young families. Very safe and scenic. The room is comfortable and Michael is a great host - he provided bottle of water for refreshment and was happy to share ample fridge and cupboard space with me. The washing machine and dryer were a nice addition, as was the iron. Michael was happy to chat or leave me to my devices when busy. Thanks for a great time in DC!
