Ethel was a wonderful host - very professional and detail-oriented, but also laid back, warm, and welcoming. Her house is very nice and tastefully decorated in a sweet neighborhood and close to the Potomac Ave metro stop, or about 30 minutes walk from the capitol. The room was cozy but easily accommodated myself and a friend who visited a couple of nights of my stay, which Ethel was very gracious about. She provided towels, soap, and even a little steamer for my dress clothes. She also offered bagels and fruit for breakfast! Thanks for a great stay.
